Tackle It Tuesday Update – Are You Getting Ready?

Written by Janice
Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Click Here to see the Most Recent Tackle It Tuesday participants.

This is raw, blogging vulnerability.

Some publish intimate details about their personal lives on the internet – but I am going to do something far more terrifying to me. I am going to photograph and publish the very corners, closets and piles of clutter and chaos in my house that I am most ashamed of – the very places I work so hard for no one to ever see.

Why? – Because I need some blogging incentive to get back in control of my house. And because I want to celebrate together the little steps of victory as other Tackle It Tuesday participants and I tackle each project, one by one.

Since I started blogging this spring, I have let things get of control and now it is time to get some order back in my life. I am going to tackle these many projects that are sucking the joy from my life. (They really are. I am not an organized person by nature, but when things are cluttered and crazy, I start to lose my mind too.)

A warning: for those of you compulsively tidy and organized people the images that I will share over the next weeks may be disturbing. I apologize. Hopefully it helps ease your pain to know that I am trying my best to tackle it.

So – are you joining us? Everyone is welcome! I need all the support and fellow tacklers as possible to help me through these difficult times.

Let’s have some fun and celebrate our accomplishments together as we Tackle It Tuesday.

To Join Tackle It Tuesday

Please add the following banner to your tackle it post and/or link back to http://www.5minutesformom.com so that folks can find other participants.

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

To use the banner, simply copy and paste the code below into your post.

Ok Ladies – have fun! And see you Tuesday!

P.S. — Remember your projects can be big or small. We are all so busy I know (especially on long weekends.) That is why we left certain tasks undone in the first place. So if you only have fifteen minutes to tackle something – No Worries! For example, you could find a drawer or a shelf in your house that needs some attention and then celebrate the order that you have restored in that little part of your world. Many weeks my projects will be just small steps in the greater goal of gaining control of my house.

Also, tackles are not limited to housework. Any task you need to accomplish can qualify for Tackle It Tuesday.

——————

Remember, to participate in Tackle it Tuesday simply add to your post the banner above and/or a link back to “5 Minutes for Mom”. Then add your url to the “Mr. Linky” at the bottom of the current “Tackle It Tuesday” post here at “5 Minutes for Mom” and leave a comment.

Sandra @ 5:14 pm

Janice, I’ve saved the logo already and will definitely participate in this one :)

I have SO many projects I want to get done in the house, the first one is actually tomorrow, my son just turned three and we’ve finally convinced him to sleep in his own room, so we’re setting it up for him tomorrow, adapting from little baby to big boy. Can’t wait to start and can’t wait to take pics. :)

Thanks for such a great idea :)

Eva @ 6:31 pm

And I love the graphic! :)

eph2810 @ 9:53 am

Well – I’ll be joining your – I have taking the before picture and now am working on the after picture (I hope I don’t break the rules to tackle today on my day off). ‘See’ you tomorrow :smile: .

Janice @ 10:07 am

So great ladies!

Yes I started tackling my project last night. The “tackling” doesn’t have to happen on Tuesday – we can just show off our results on Tuesday. Well – I better get back to work – I will show it off tomorrow morning!!

Courtney @ 10:12 am

I have been wanting to do this for so long to get certain things done but afraid to post pictures fear of someone having a heart attack! LoL…..but if you’ll do it I’ll to it to! Yayyy!!! Can’t wait!

Jennifer @ 7:30 pm

OH I am soo excited Janice! You got me tackling soo much! I find that once I clean one area, the things needed to put away need to go into an area I need to clean as well!!! Today, getting ready for tomorrow, I cleaned out my closet, my son’s closet, cleaned off my fabric shelves, and I have a pile of at least 4 bags that I have posted on free cycle, and threw out 3 bags of trash too! :O I am amazed and excited! LOL Can we share more than one area? You sparked my cleaning, I feel like I am nesting again! ACK…thank God I cant be preggo! :D

Janice @ 8:35 pm

That is great Jenn! Share whatever you wish – or save some for next week.

[...] Well, Janice had a great idea and I started with my weekly nightmare. I don’t feel so bad anymore about my weekness in household chores, because I know what I am not alone (right?). You see, I do not like doing laundry very much (actually I don’t like it at all). And this past week I let it pile up again. Usually I wash laundry twice during the week (after work) and do the rest on the weekend. The washing is really not the problem – the IRONING is my weekness. [...]

What a great idea! I’m willing to bet there are more women like us – the not so perfect and willing to admit it types – than the ones who are super organized. My problem is that there are not enough hours in the day to tackle all the things i would like to do. I work full time and I’m a mom of a 11 yr old and a 2 yr. old. That should say it all. However I hate to make excuses and I definitely need all the help i can get. i’m going to join the Tackle it Tuesday starting next week and I’ll let you know what I decided to tackle first. Ciao

I had material baskets overflowing on the floor, items stacked on my scrapbook shelves and the sitting area was impossible to get to.

Whether tragic events touch your family personally or are brought into your home via newspapers and television, you can help children cope with the anxiety that violence, death, and disasters can cause.

Listening and talking to children about their concerns can reassure them that they will be safe. Start by encouraging them to discuss how they have been affected by what is happening around them. Even young children may have specific questions about tragedies. Children react to stress at their own developmental level.

The Caring for Every Child’s Mental Health Campaign offers these pointers for parents and other caregivers:

* Encourage children to ask questions. Listen to what they say. Provide comfort and assurance that address their specific fears. It’s okay to admit you can’t answer all of their questions.
* Talk on their level. Communicate with your children in a way they can understand. Don’t get too technical or complicated.
* Find out what frightens them. Encourage your children to talk about fears they may have. They may worry that someone will harm them at school or that someone will try to hurt you.
* Focus on the positive. Reinforce the fact that most people are kind and caring. Remind your child of the heroic actions taken by ordinary people to help victims of tragedy.
* Pay attention. Your children’s play and drawings may give you a glimpse into their questions or concerns. Ask them to tell you what is going on in the game or the picture. It’s an opportunity to clarify any misconceptions, answer questions, and give reassurance.
* Develop a plan. Establish a family emergency plan for the future, such as a meeting place where everyone should gather if something unexpected happens in your family or neighborhood. It can help you and your children feel safer.

If you are concerned about your child’s reaction to stress or trauma, call your physician or a community mental health center.

I’m not really sure if I am doing this right or not, it’s my first time. I don’t have any pictures but I have been doing some unexpected cleaning-out today. I realized this morning that one of my diamonds was missing from my anniversary ring! I’ve been going nuts all day, scared my 10 month old will pick it up and eat it, or my two year old will get a thrill of seeing it spin around the toilet, as she does a lot of things! Singing….. “round and around and around you go….round and around and around you go……where are you, I’ll never knowww” Anyways, thought this may make someone else feel better about their day. Wish me luck! If I ever get these two down for bed, I will tear this house apart and maybe, if I have any bit of luck at all, I’ll find my diamond!!

Trying to start my first organization project – getting my personal blog up and rolling. :)

Seriously, I’m in the midst of a Tackle it Tuesday experiment. Does anyone else have a pantry that has taken on a life of it’s own? Perhaps something falls on your head everytime you remove a can of soup? Or maybe your husband is spatially-challenged like mine? If there is a container for his belongings – all of his belongings will be outside of it; resting nicely on the counter or the floor. Screaming at me. :)

My experiment? I spent a small fortune at Target buying bins for virtually every closet or cabinet in my house in an effort to keep all those half used containers of God-only-knows-what in some logical order. I’ll keep you posted if this actually works without complete anarchy in my household.

I could write a book on all that I need to tackle! I’m starting on my living room per/my husbands request. It is the first room people see…so it makes sense. Plus, it is the most disorganized! I’d like my home to be relaxing. Motivation enough!

Hi, I’m just her to tell you that I’m deleting the Tackle It Tuesday Blogroll now, so you can take away the info about it.

I’ve gone through the whole blogroll now and there were not many left in it when I was done taking away all the inactive links or blogs without displaying the blogroll. Less and less choose to use it too, so no use to have it.

I’ve been around to the ones that still had it and told them about it and that “The Tackle It Tuesday Meme is carrying on as usual over at 5 Minutes for Mom, just not with a blogroll”.

Thanks for all the good Tackles, they were so good that I don’t have anything left to tackle :-)

Want to talk about tackling a project? Clean my bathroom. It makes th ecat box look devastatingly clean. The worst part is cleaning out all that toxic stuff from under the toilet without gagging! Ew! Ew!Ew! The tub and sink are easy thanks to my best friend Bon Ami. Use this on eveything and wipe with those Mr Clean magic sponges. They’ve helped me get through a lot of after shower messes.
Does anyone else have a messy bathroom problem?. Apart from plastic wrapping the whole room how do you deal with it? I have to clean mine every two days. This is a major tackle.

Kimberly @ 12:23 am

I have been doing the before and after pictures for several weeks. It helps to remind me what I want that area of my house to look like, and so I do not allow it to go back to how it was. Life gets busy sometimes..and I think I will pick up XYZ later, or clean something later. If I just ‘do it now’ then it is done and I do not have to think about it.
