Goals and Kids
One thing I have learned over the years is these two things do not mix. Every time I set a goal a kid then needs me for something.
Monday's goal of putting fabric on bolts didn't get accomplished until Thursday. Monday kids needed to me to be their taxi service, the dining room table needed emptying, and a few items needed to be hung on the wall before a kid destroyed them. Tuesday kids needed food, which meant a trip to the grocery store. Wednesday, kid needed a ride to camp an hour and half away. Leaving Thursday afternoon, the only time I would have this week to complete ONE goal. I made a kid help me wrap fabric in exchange for her favorite cup of coffee on our way to buy more foam board.
Now my office is sorta manageable. I say this as I am in need of more storage. I am opting out of my gigantic desk for a smaller metal desk with two drawers.
I would love to find a metal credenza to replace the rolling carts. Also purchased another shelf for fabric, last one as I have run out of room to put them! I am scaling back the projects and focusing more on a few items. This means less supplies to store!
Today's goal is to pick up my desk, which does need a thorough cleaning, and move gigantic desk out. The gigantic desk will become our picnic table after painting the base black and a good coat of weather sealant.
