Just a little about me

Did you want to know something Bizarre!

I totally love organising. Though I might not look like the most organised person or have the most organised house or even have the most organised life.

I especially love reading organising blogs and trying to emulate their little organising tips into my life!!

One blog I love to read regularly is http://www.beyondthebaby.com.au/superorganisermum/

I could only dream to be as organised as she is!!

I first came across this amazing woman while reading up on tread about organisation on the Essential Baby forum http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/forums/index.php?showforum=89 , I 'hang out' in the large family section lol :)

Lady Luck...

.......was not shining on me when baking the other night. I open the cupboard and on my right foot, out falls the icing sugar!!!

Then when putting away the icing sugar, on my left foot falls the brown sugar!! After laughing myself nearly to the point of wetting myself, I proceed to clean up the mess and put the task of reorganising the pantry on my to-do list! No point chucking a tanty over spilt sugar! lol!!

Lists!!! Lists!!! Lists!!!

I have come to the realisation that I am very much a list girl!!

Lists for shopping, cleaning, organising, parties, camping, you name it!! I function so much more efficiently when I have my list, thoughts are down on paper for what I need to do with a particular task and when done, just seeing that task crossed out is a mini boost to my day :)

Especially when there is kidlets following me around, undoing all the things I achieve throughout the day.

I think my list obsession is a by product of my days as a case manager/job search trainer, where I would have to remember and fit so much into my days that if I didn't run a list of everything from client appointments to staff meetings and everything in-between, I would have lost my mind!!!

I've tried to do away with the lists, and just get on with things without using lists but gees, being a SAHM, running a list of 'do to' just seems to add a little bit of purpose to my day.....I guess a bit like being in a 'paid' job would......

But my blog is boring enough as it is, filling it full of my 'to do' lists is going to be a major no no lol!! But from time to time, list making might just be the most exciting thing I'll have to blog about! lol!!

Lazy Weekend??

But I am going to aim for a lazy Sunday by doing a whole lot of stuff today, which should equal a whole lot of nothing for tomorrow!!
