Help! My Life has gotten out of control.

So, again it's been a loooooooong time between posts and I've decided to use my blog now for strictly selfish reasons.  I am going to keep myself accountable with it.  If I don't post three times a week I will not get my mocha.  Yes, I'm sure that will do it.  What will I be posting about?  I'm glad you asked...or I asked.  Anyhow, here's the topics.

I will posts pictures, steps and progress of areas of my home that have gotten out of control and what I've done to fix them.  I must warn you though, I do not live in the world of the neat freaks, the city dwellers, the organized.  My life is crazy, messy and chaotic.  Keep a bucket handy on some posts if grime and clutter makes you nauseous.  I'd like to belive I'm not the only one out there having this problem. Where I am probably weird is I still invite people over, even when my house looks like the pre-cursor to a hoarding show.  Along the way I'll be trying out new products, home made products that are said to work as well as store bought products and organizational techniques and items.  I'll give you all the gory details as I go.  Hopefully someone will enjoy some benefit of the frightening state I've allowed my home to get to. 

I also hope to try and review "healthy" meals.  In this category I'll also be sharing my shopping trips, yard sale finds and generally logging the good and bad ways I spend my money.  Eeek!  Accountability is terrifying.  Also creative ways to re-purpose things and generally do my best to keep us in the green....or get us there. If I actually find a way to make money I'll share this also.

As before I'll be sharing insights as I see fit, but I hope to put the rubber to the road and actually practice motherhood, wifedom, believer, and animal caretaker the way I think I should but always am too something to actually do.  Sort of a "what did I do to be a better person this week" category.  As a side note, my hubby got a ticket today and I didn't scold.  I'm calling that my betterment for the week. 

So basically, my life has gone running off like a crazy horse and I'm determined to grab the reigns again.  Will I control everything?  Umm, no, I have three spirited children, a spirited husband, a house and yard full of critters so that just isn't possible. I'd at least like to have a hand in the steering again though, for those things that I can do that can make a difference.  That is the goal.
