Ok, I am getting anxious. We decided to re-do our flooring upstairs. This means everything from up is down - and its everywhere. And its freaking-me-out.
I am one of those gals who needs to feel organized and in control - or the anxiety sets in and its just no fun for anyone.
Back to school is coming (SOON) and, for me, that is a stressful time of year. All the forms, requirements, routines - eek! I need some back to school ideas to keep me sane. I’ll start and then it’s your turn to add some back to school ideas - you game?
Michelle’s Back to School Ideas
- Get some lunch ideas together now.
For me this is the most stressful thing about Back to School - WTH am I going to make for lunch. (I will do a Friday Faves on School lunches soon…) - Create a drop station that works.
My problem is that I let things get too cluttered. Everything is everywhere. I am going to create a space where things get dropped and then organized in one spot. OrgJunkie calls this the command centre and she has stacks of great ideas >> - Do the shopping now.
I leave everything until the last minute every year and then everything is sold out. —> More stress. I am almost done. - Get rid of everything.
Well, most everything. Really. What a great opportunity to de-clutter when everything is in shambles anyhow? Stuff —> Stress. - Register for programs now.
I need to get on this. First, the kids need to decide WHAT they want to take. Programs here fill up so quickly, best to avoid waiting.
Ok - what are your Back to School ideas to try to minimize the stress? (Or am I the only one who finds this time of year stressful?)
