Last Saturday I attended a leadership class, during which we took the True Colors Personality Assessment. The test requires you to look at a cluster of words found in 5 rows and 4 columns and circle the grouping that is most like you. I was pretty surprised when I got to the end and found that overwhelmingly I was an orange and scored not one single point in the color that has the organizational characteristics that I’ve been dying to achieve.
I feel like I’ve been so disconnected from this space for the past two weeks. There isn’t a particularly exceptional reason for said disconnect, except for my gross inability to properly organize my life. My well intentions and what actually “had” happened left me floundering trying to get everything done these past few weeks. Everything that was pressing has been completed and now this week I can start with a fresh slate…and those same good intentions to live a well organized life!!
The temperatures around here have been dipping kind of low lately in the mornings, and just like I for the most part only use my crock pot in the fall and winter, I only eat oatmeal during the colder months. My Saturday schedule called for an early start time without the children. Seeing that I still had a ton of apples left over from the orchard that I needed to do something with, it only made sense to whip up some crock pot apple oatmeal so that they could have breakfast when they woke up.
I was compensated by Wayfair for this post. All opinions are mine
So the thing is when you are operating within a budget there are parameters you have to follow, if I may break it down a little further, don’t have champagne taste with a cheap wine budget. I know all about that caveat, and have had to do more than my fair share of compromising to make things work especially when it comes to slowly bringing this house together.
