Finish planner notebook
Create list of hymns to learn
Develop better morning school routine

 Zone
I am currently working a zone a day. It seems I have the domino effect: if I spend too much time concentrating in one room everything else becomes a disaster. Until I get that under control I think rotating on a daily basis is best.

Today (Mon.)I did the pantry for a little while
Tues: kitchen
Wed: Laundry day so I will work on the laundry room
Thur: our bedroom (the major victim of the stash and dash I did when company was coming a few weeks ago)
Fri: I am trying to make Fri my office day so I will work on my computer desk

Train Them Up
We need to brush up on manners in less than perfect circumstances (need to work on this myself too.) We  were having lunch with my mom down at Pikes Place Market in a restaurant that was less than family-friendly (something that really makes MY attitude less than pleasant). At the end of the meal my mother, who was paying for this lunch, asks "So how was it." To my horror my oldest pipes up "Oh, I've had better." Something to this effect has happened more than once recently. The brutal honesty of children is just too much sometimes.
