Sometimes baby steps are just so...so BABY

We weren't snowed in. It was a disappointment for all. My poor mess of recipes that was screaming out to be organized today was possibly the most disappointed.

The kids had a 2-hour delay for school. That's not really enough time for me to do anything but sleep a little later (along with the rest of the household) and then get everyone bundled up to go play a little before school. So my dreams of organizing that embarrassing pile did not come true. I did feel somewhat accountable since I had posted the picture of my mess, and outlined my steps to organizing the mess. And I took one baby step in the right direction: I sorted the pile into various categories. Right now it looks like a bigger mess than before because now the pile is ALL SPREAD OUT into several piles!

I have to motivate myself to take the additional baby steps needed to complete this project and get the piles out of the middle of the floor. (Looking at the piles should be motivation enough!). So I have told myself that I can't be playing around in the kitchen or making any new treats until my recipes are organized and put away. That should light the fire under me and get me going, shouldn't it?
