Cooking Space Week - Nov. 1

[SparkleNana]

Rockin-granola -- You are speaking truth here! This week HAS been flying by --- and the rest of the weeks until Christmas will go just as fast!!! time for more reality to be accepted by me!

It takes a fair amount of time for me -- during the regular time of the year -- to keep the house picked up, laundry done, shopping and errands done, and meals cooked and cleaned up. I DO NOT have things running like a smooth, well-oiled machine - during the regular times. I may as well face the fact that it will be A LOT harder to keep things up during December!

It IS absolutely critical to get as much done as possible - during November! Just knock out as much Christmas stuff as possible during Novemeber -- and then try hard to keep up with regular stuff AND a select number of holiday events!

AND -- the Cooking Spaces area is marginally better today! Not a lot better -- but somewhat better! I will keep working all week!

Thursday of Cooking Spaces Week.

Hhhmmmmmmmm. This week has NOT been a success so far. Very, very little has been accomplished in my cooking space. There is STILL hope for tomorrow. We are invited to a neighbor's house for dinner tomorrow. So -- that saves cooking and clean up. Maybe I can use that time to work in the kitchen - tomorrow.

Okay, major cooking space tasks are on hold until Sunday as my oldest is turning 8 tomorrow and we're having some friends over to celebrate. I'm going into "Birthday Party" mode for the next 48 hours or so LOL

But, I do feel pretty good about gaining some counter space, getting the kitchen sink clean, and the fact that on Sunday I'm planning on pulling everything out of the cabinets and sorting, decluttering, and re-arranging in a way that makes more sense AND my dh has said that he will help me. He even offered to get a tote to store stuff in until next summer's yard sale. Love that man!

TGIF friends! Lets finish up the week on a terrific note!

Best Wishes!

Well, about the only thing I've accomplished is cleaning out all the leftovers from the fridge. I have high expectations for this weekend. Glad to know that everyone else is getting something done.

rockin_granola - Happy Birthday Weekend!

nursemomtothree - Cleaning out the refrigerator is no small thing. I have spent the last hour and a half working in the kitchen -- partly on the refrigerator! I have only the top two shelves cleared. I haven't touched the door yet!
