Overcoming the mid-week slump....aka "Tackle Wednesday with me!"

[MamaAkins]

Yesterday's thread on "tackling Tuesday" seemed to help me in terms of holding myself accountable for the things I need to get done! Since the rest of my "to do list" cohorts seem to live in other time zones (or perhaps just sleep later than I do), I figured I would go ahead and start a new thread for today! But I promise I'm getting off the computer after this so i can get started on my list! I'll check in occasionally throughout the day!

Wishing you strength as you tackle the project of going through your parents' things with your sister. I can only imagine how difficult that is, especially during the holidays.

 

Good luck to your dd17 with her college applications! How exciting!
