One of my challenges is to try to stay on top of all the paperwork-ish stuff in my life, and today it seems like I have an extra lot of it.

* Ministry newsletter is due to go out and Scott wants me to plan the layout.

* Ministry staff meeting tommorrow night and prep discussions we need to have prior.

* Family newsletter stuffed, but I found that I am almost out of stamps.  How did I ever let THAT happen?!?!

* Homeschool hours need to be recorded, back into February (sigh).

* Ministry thank yous need to be written.

* I need to figure out how to help Jessica study for her College Algebra CLEP.

* Bank deposit receipts need to be filed.

* New memory verse for boys must be chosen, printed, and entered in MemLok.

* Books the boys have read need to be collected and recorded.

I think I need one whole day ALONE at my desk, and then I will be able to make some progress on each of the above.  Anybody want to give me a day?  = )

In addition, I REALLY want to spend some more time re-sizing my photos and uploading them to Flickr.  However, I am keeping that as my reward.  I work for a while, and then I can recreate with Flickr. 

Now it's supper time (actually past supper time) and we will have Broccoli Soup which is in the crock-pot.  Scott is on the phone with ministry business, and as soon as he finishes that, I will collect the kids and we will eat.

One more question. . . could someone please invent a machine into which I can dump all our clean clothes and have them come out folded?  I'm thinking along the lines of those bank machines that you dump change into and out come rolls of each kind of coin.  No thought and only a few seconds of time required.  It would revolutionize home design!  Laundry rooms would be bigger and contain three pieces of equipment:  a washer, a dryer, and a folder. 

If you have any design ideas for such an item, please send them my way.
