Tackle It Tuesday #8

I hope all you Mom's had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine did NOT go as planned. Chip was supposed to be working, and the kids and I were going to go to my parents house. Well, on Saturday evening, I had a rib go out and was in tremendous pain. This has happened before, but this time was much more painful. When I woke up on Sunday, I could barely move and I knew I wouldn't be able to make the drive and wasn't sure how I'd take care of Ruthi. So my fabulous hubby called in and stayed home to take care of us. So I was lying down for most of the day. Of course then my upper back started feeling stiff from lying around, so I got up and SLOWLY began moving. After a while I was beginning to feel some better, thankfully. And that fabulous hubby? Well, since he was home, he cooked a fabulous dinner!
Yesterday I was moving around better - still some pain, but much more manageable.
This morning I am driving to meet my mom and handing over my precious little girl to her. My parents are off work this week, so Ruthi will spend a couple days loving on her Nana and Poppy and getting even more spoiled than she already is - if that is even possible!
Then I'm heading to my chiropractor. (He's not in on Monday's so I had to wait until today.) Then I have to go pick up some soft drinks for tonight. We are having a Neighborhood Watch meeting at our house this evening with hot dogs and stuff, so I have to get all that stuff ready.

And on to the BIG tackle! Last week on my list was to clean off my kitchen table. Well, I did that - technically. All nice and clean. (Sorry, no picture, but I'm sure you can use your imagination.) The problem still, though, was this:



These two chairs on the "back" side of my table keep collecting stuff! When I need to clean off the table in a hurry, everything gets dumped there. And I've been neglecting this area. So, my tackle is to sort through all this, organize and put things where they belong. There is a LOT of stuff there, so it's a pretty big job, but I hope to have it complete before the meeting this evening.
Once I get this done, I can finally start working on my business binder (another big tackle!) This has really been holding me up, as there are things in these chairs I need for that. This will be such a relief to get this done!
I'll be back with the after photo later!

Well, I didn't get the photo up last night, but I did get it done! My table AND the chairs are all nice and clean now!
