I sort of suck at this whole organization thing. I mean, I can do it, obviously I was on quite a roll there, but ... well I hate to say it but I think it was easier when I only had two kids for those two weeks. NOT that I want to say that it's easy having two kids... but perhaps just a tad easier than having four. Of course, even if I was able to organize around two, at the end of the day, I have four. So it's just going to have to take a little more ... work.
However. I have kept up with menu planning - that has been awesome; my pantry is not nearly as full since I haven't written down potato chips on my shopping list. Without the frequent trips, I'm not buying any (not trying to lose weight, just trying to eat healthier). I have also relatively kept up with laundry... again, slightly easier when I was missing two.
I have kept on Ethan about his room and he has tidied it each day. This has also required me to keep checking on his room regularly throughout the day, so that's new but it's worth it to never have to clean up that kind of mess again. And I've got them putting their shoes away still, so that's helped the entry way stay tidy.
Each night after dinner I've been getting the boys to empty the dishwasher and then I can pack it up after supper. Ocean helps to set and clear the table. On the whole though, I'm still okay - just haven't made any significant headway since the linen closet ... a week ago. I think I might have to do my fifteen minute declutter in the morning. Night time does not work for me. I'm just too .... finished by the end of the day. I like to get up early in the morning because it's the quietest time in my house. So I will start that. Tomorrow. New plan - should work. I will let you know.
