For those that are new to A "Juled" Life, we flooded in Harvey, and at the time I was working full time. The company I was working for was purchased several years ago and well, things changed. With the stress of the different company I was now working for, and basically rebuilding our home, I decided to quit my job. It was a BIG decision but fortunately I had tremendous support from my husband.
The transition over the past several months has been different, but one I do not regret for even a second. I am a busy body and love to stay busy so those close to me thought it wouldn't last a week.
The girls being home this summer has been a total blast! Last year I worked on what I called my Houston Summer Bucket List, I will share later this week. I have been taking pictures of each activity and at the end of the summer each girl will make their own scrap book. I just LOVE this idea! It gives them a creative activity that will give them a lifetime of memories of our summer together!
I can say one thing that has helped me feel productive while not "working" has been my daily to do list. I have always been a list person, so writing down each day what I want to accomplish, has been very satisfying. I love crossing off my list things like, line the dressing area drawers, grocery store, return jeans, etc.
Today's list looks like this:
1. Drop off dry cleaning
2. Spray paint Kenli's desk chair
3. Return valance curtains and reorder
4. Install 4 puck lights
5. Follow up with pool company regarding decking
6. Take girls to tutoring
7. Take girls to Mathnasium
You get it! Sounds lame I am sure, but when I finish all of these things and look back at my day I have such a great feeling of accomplishment. If anything, getting the house back in order has been a huge daily accomplishment.
