It's been a while . . .

So it's been a while since I've updated. We've been doing the chore chart thing and it works pretty well when I stay on top of things. I also really, really love my cordless vacuum! I set up my card system, but find that I really don't use it so I'm thinking just a checklist would be more simple. I have also been just trying to get my house put together here and there. I got a couple of closets cleaned out and yesterday I put away a bunch of the kids' toys so that they will hopefully be easier to pick up. I'm just tired of it taking 1/2 day just to clean the playroom! 

I'm slowing down and getting to the frustrating time of pregnancy for me when my sciatic nerve starts to really throw me fits and I don't know what I'm actually going to be able to accomplish in a day. If I try to do too much I will hate myself later and some days I get out of bed really unable to move around well at all. I am also that great heartburn stage so I really don't feel like eating anything. Figuring out what to feed people is really hard when I would rather just have a bowl of cereal! I think that will be the next thing on the agenda--meal planning!

The workboxes have been working well. I just haven't figured out a very good system for myself yet for refilling them. I think I am just ready for a bit of a summer break from school so that I can get a few things done before this baby comes! I would like to set up a school room for next year so that I can re-claim my kitchen and feel like we have a better place to do school than my kitchen table. 

Overall, things have been going pretty good! I am making baby steps as always, but at least I am not standing still!!
