I really need to start dinner.

And I do. But today is one of those days where dinner just seems simply uninspired. Maybe because I spent 3 hours dragging a two year old around the mall today while I tried on clothes. It has been ages since I got some new things. I had a gift certificate from Jacob from my birthday, which was finally used today. But, by the end I had one grumpy toddler. I headed into "one more store" to try and find some shirts, when Michaela, who had abandoned the stroller, wailed NO!!!! and headed at a fast clip down the hall. At that point I figured enough was enough and trailed her out to the car. I used to like shopping for clothes, but no more!

I found, (or rather Tim found) a great little site (here) that has some great printable planners. I'm currently using the freezer planner, and am looking at trying the menu planner as well. I'm a check list person so this type of thing works very well for me. I currently have a chore list on the fridge, of daily, weekly and bi-weekly chores. This way I can check them off as I get them done, and (it is a weird quirk I know) it seems to motivate me. I know, I know. Now I just have to get Tim to stop looking at me like I've grown two heads. He just starts laughing and says, "well... it's taken ten years!" Thanks dear.

Now really, I'm going to start dinner. maybe....
