I Admit . . . ..

I am pretty OCD when it comes to being organized, but I don't do a good job at being organized.

I love the idea of sheets and sheets of organizing ones life.

I love printing off ideas to make my life easier.

I love having a big notebook full of my life laid out day by day of things to do.

I love making lists and crossing items off as I finish them.

I will even write down things that I have already done just so I can cross them out (sick, I know).

Maybe it is because it just makes me feel better, I don't know, but I love it!!! I love flylady and have actually done well with her things. I have adapted them to fit my lifestyle, but I have done it and it has made a difference. One of my friends posted a website called Organizing Christmas and I have fallen in love. I have always thought I had a hold on Christmas until last year my poor brother did not have a gift from my family under the tree. Oh, I had bought it, but then misplaced it. The sad thing is I did not even realize it until after he had already left!!!! I vowed that this year I would do better. I am making a lot of presents this year and decided I needed to get going and get a hold of things a little better. So, I spent last night printing (and drooling) and declaring,

I will do better this year.

I will have all my gifts I am making done by the week before Christmas.

I will not forget anyone's present.

I will enjoy the holidays.

I will make special Christmas candy.

I will survive!!!

So, next week, I am taking hold of my life and will begin to grab a hold of Christmas!!! However, if a good movie comes on, you will probably find me on the couch instead!!!
