My Horrible Book Keeping

*All weekend whenever we looked for something it took forever to find, because my lack of organization. I NEED to be better, and keep up with a better system. It’s no wonder Dave WANTS to do the bills, instead of leaving them to me.

*Today in trying to finish up some old blog posts I realize I have been horrible at keeping updates on Maddie. Sorry second child! I doesn’t mean I don’t love you, just physically love and hold you more rather than be on the computer. (:

*I FINALLY found my old Driver’s License from Michigan that I thought I lost last November.  I “Knew” I had put it in the car. I LOOKED there a million times, but when it came down to it I thought perhaps it fell out somewhere. I spent countless hours calling lost and found departments, getting a hold of Michigan, finding various documents to get my new Utah DL and having to go get new certificates.  I almost had to take a drivers test (luckily that didn’t have to happen).  Dave just scrubbed down the car last week and still didn’t find it.  Then today, I saw something in the door pocket, reached in and THERE IT WAS! It had gotten stuck to the side of the pocket somehow. Whew, glad I found it, but frustrated that because I was too much in a hurry in the first place to put it back in my wallet I had to go through all of that.

* I had to pay the babysitter and thought I had a $5 in my purse. I looked and looked. But after not finding it and not making it to the bank or store in multiple days, I broke into Anna’s piggy bank and “borrowed” a  $5 bill I knew was in there.  Then I couldn’t get the cap back on, so all week I have been cleaning up the money Anna has been counting.  Then today, there it was right in the middle of my messy purse.  a $5 bill! Dang messy Heidi!

So here is to being better, taking time to correctly put things away and being more organized… I hope.
