Thankful Thursday

I can't imagine what my life will look like next fall. One in kindergarten, what? Maybe then I will actually know what day of the week it is prior to us doing school and writing it down for the day. I'm organized in a very hap hazard sort of way. Never good at keeping a calendar even though I buy a day planner because I love cute notebooks and paper. Sort of a fetish. And right now I think I'm so so disorganized I don't even know where to begin. Well my goal is to get going. I'm going to attempt to organize one space in my house a week and then make a list of what I need to complete that room. Who knows if I will stick with it. I doubt it but I secretly hope so. So keep me accountable if you want and I will do my best to keep checking in with some completed projects. 

I know I missed this last thursday and I miss them.
