Bienvenue! Welcome!

Bienvenue! Welcome!

I am not French and I do not really speak French, but I would like to. I own a copy of French for Dummy's - it did not help! What does that say about me? I need a real live class with a person whom I can speak to and ask questions of.

During the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Canada the Prime Minister walked out and called BIENVENUE! and the crowd cheered. It was great! So this is kind of like the opening games to the winter Olympics-

BIENVENUE!

WELCOME!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

On Sunday, August 26th, the Holiday Grand Plan begins at Organized Christmas, http://christmas.organizedhome.com/

There are fifteen weeks until the first week of December and one of those is Thanksgiving week, (November 22nd this year) so fourteen weeks, really. My house is small, only seven rooms, and one of those... well, there is no way it will be cleaned before Christmas. Really, I cannot see it cleaned before next spring - that is just the reality of it. So, my house is small, only six rooms...

On the Holiday Grand Plan Calendar they allow for eight rooms, so that gives me two extra weeks, right? And I am re-arranging my weeks to better fix my location. They start at the entryway/foyer. It is still way too hot here to start in the front yard.

When I was raising my kids I used a tickler file to stay organized. I bought a book at a yard sale by The Sidetracked Home Executives and it inspired me.

Here is the link to their site:  http://www.shesintouch.com/

I had tried various other organizing plans, but this one worked for me and I used it until my kids got older and I started working mostly afternoons and nights. I have decided to set that file up again as I clean. Here is a link to help you set up a file or just check it out.

Since it is almost one in the morning, I hope you enjoy your day today! Do something fun!!

Good night,
