I posted several days ago about doing comparisons and feeling inadequate. OK, so my disorganization cost me $42 in money, two trips to Kohl's (45 min) in time, and some frustration (looking for shoes that were never to be found).

7:45 this AM I get a call from one of the mothers of a fellow soccer team child on the team the DH is assistant coaching. She wanted to know what time the game is tomorrow. I'm not really sure exactly because we're not going to be there. I said, "Wait one minute, I can find the schedule." There is was, right under the pile of bills to be paid.

I tell her the time and place and team color. She said to me, "I don't know how you do it ... keeping tack of all that kind of stuff. I can barely manage and I only have three ..."

Makes me want to fall on the floor laughing. That is in this instance the moons aligned and I was able to have the information at hand. I *am* doing better keeping track of things, and I've managed yet another bag of trash, another bag of donations, and antoher bag of kids clothes to give to our friends.

I'm thinking that gracious living might start with a peaceful attitude and a light heart.

Goals for the day:
(1) Go through the DVD's - purge 30% and better organize the remaining ones. Why is it when I want to watch a Harry Potter movie all we can find are the outgrown Doras?
(2) Around the block in the Sketcher shape-ups (Inspired by whitestripe's comment on the fallen off the wagon post)

And my girls got their new Irish dance dresses yesterday. Beautiful ... beautiful ... beautiful ... and both declare that they are so much more comfortable than the old small/tight ones they've been wearing. Off to Milwaukee for a competition tomorrow. At least it isn't in the ice arena!
