Open Your Mail!

And then actually read it, and then figure out how to organize it!

So Eric and I have this way of putting in so much time and energy at work, that when we finally get home at whatever ungodly hour of the evening, we just crash. This was especially true the closer we got to Baby Girl's due date back in December, 2010. I was so physically wiped out, coupled with the fact that we were just so ready and anxious for her to get here, we just pretty much had a "heck with everything else" attitude.

I'm pretty sure we almost defaulted on one or two of Eric's student loans. I let my license and registration lapse (that came back to bite me in March when I was finally out driving my car around and got pulled). So yea we were just pretty much pathetic. Really great for soon-to-be parents, right?

So since then we've at least been opening our mail. Now to just get a filing system that works!!

PS. People. I know it's not that hard to just get the sh*t together, but for some reason...it IS hard for us.
I like to think of myself as an educated and sensible individual, but I told my students once, "The inside of my head is organized, but not all this physical space around me."
