Organization, Comping and Sweet Pea

I try really really hard to be organized but with 4 kids trying to sabotage me at every turn it is almost impossible... They accuse me of being OCD but really I'm not! We live here is my motto, so there are plenty of crumbs and cobwebs. Another of my favorite sayings is....
"My mother use to say her floor was so clean you could eat off it..... You can eat off mine too, there lots of stuff down there!"  Needless to say I am not an immaculate house keeper, I'd like to be but I also like my sanity and I kinda want my kids to like me...

So anyway my attempt at organization today is a grocery list... I know so super exciting. I have been trying something new  Price Matching at Wal-Mart, or Comping as my friend Sweet-Pea calls it. She is the one who got me started. I really didn't think there was anything to it and have been making fun of her! Luckily she is a good sp ort and has plenty of ammo to fire back at me! So I have been saving anywhere from $25-35, Yesterday I saved $ 31.55 with a couple coupons! Not alot but enough for me to get a new pair of  Flip-Flops. I seem to be getting off track.... see my organizational skills! Back to
"The List". Yet another list that I think will help things be a little more streamlined. I once made a 3 page, 3 columns per page list for our summer camping trips... Needless to say this was something Sweet-Pea made fun of me for! Especially when I forgot to bring a spatula. Really a must when you need to flip burgers or fry taters!!  Sometimes List's help and sometimes they are just one big joke... so I'll let you know how this one turns out!!
