Good Intentions

The kids will go back to school on Aug 11 and i will go back to my part-time teaching job shortly after that. This time of year always gets my organizational juices flowing! I envision in my head a well oiled, smooth flowing machine that is MY HOUSEHOLD. A place for everything, and everything in it's place. At Target, I contemplate buying Rubber Maid bins and storage w/ drawers for everyone's closet. I go thru the Pottery Barn catalog and review the page w/ those nifty letter holder/corkboard/dry erase calendar thingies. I ponder going thru my accordian folder w/ papers galore peeking over the top. What IS in there anyway?? My intentions are good, and I know I will get in gear. But my perfectly ordered organization is exsisting only in my mind. I need to get the kids' their school supplies and that in itself is a chore. The list is longer than Santa's "bad" list!! Wish me luck!
