Messy Messy Fail - Behind again, are you surprised?

Tidy Victory - I am now off from school for the summer with the kids, so let's get back on track!

Messy Messy Fail - OOOOOOOffff I forgot to order pin on corsages for my 8th graders for their final concert on Thursday.

Tidy Victory - There's only three of them so ordering tomorrow should be a piece of cake!

Messy Messy Fail -  Only four behind now lol.  Publishing while I fold the mountain of laundry I have acrued.

Tidy Victory - Baby steps, decluttering and putting crap away one area at a time!

Messy Messy Fail - This is the most behind on parties I have ever gotten - 5 weeks!!!!

Tidy Victory - I've been able to purchase many fun plants for both the inside and outside - it's so nice to see green and flowers again!

Messy Messy Fail - We've had some good rain come our way to help our gardens, but with rain and more flowers comes more WEEDS!

Tidy Victory - I've already put together a couple of cute flower urns on my side porch using dusty miller and violas.  These will be hardy while the nights are still cool!

Messy Messy Fail - I had planned on soaking my ranunculus corms and planting them outside, however we have had such a mild spring I may have missed my opportunity!  This flower in particular does not like warm weather.

Tidy Victory - I've been good about trying to organize/declutter one thing every day - big or small project.  The other night I was pressed for time, so it was just a basket on an end table.  Another night I had an hour, so I cleaned up the mud room.  Anything is definitely better than nothing!

Messy Messy Fail - Are you like me, where you feel you have all of this extra time throughout the week so you save things that need to happen, but then you just run out of time?  I ran out of LOTS of time this week.  

Tidy Victory - I'm ready to try out a new tubing mascara from Essence - it's called No More Panda Eyes and I cannot tell you how excited I am to try it!  The fallout is supposed to be minimal so you don't have those flakes underneath your eyes.

Messy Messy Fail - The state of my fridge is revolting.  I need to go in and get rid of all the leftovers which are probably moldy!  

Tidy Victory - With this unusually warm spring my bulbs are blooming EVERYWHERE!  I put many new daffodils and tulips in last fall and am so excited to see them all coming up!

Messy Messy Fail - Did I get much done over my spring break?  No.

Tidy Victory - Did I enjoy my spring break?  YES!

Messy Messy Fail - Now this wasn't my messy fail, but the story needs to be told.  Every year for Easter, I order a couple ropes of fresh polish sausage from Wegmans, usually a week or two ahead of time, to make sure it's available.  Ordered it last week, wanted to pick it up yesterday.  I arrive yesterday to do just that (pick it up) and I am informed that there was a mix up at the warehouse and they are doing a special delivery of sausage today for those that order it.  As I am sitting in the parking lot of Hannah's cancelled swim lesson (which I did not know about either lol), I call to check on the sausage - they only got 6 ropes but they are saving two for me!

Tidy Victory - I have my dough and filling ready to make homemade pierogies tomorrow for dinner!

Messy Messy Fail - I got behind again, cause you know, life.

Tidy Victory - All caught up, and just in time for Easter!

Messy Messy Fail - I missed making a reservation at Great Wolf Ontario, CA over winter break last February.  I waited to long so prices got real high and it even sold out of rooms!

Tidy Victory - I got it booked for spring break, and we are really looking forward to going there!
