Thanks, Bonnie!
I had the same trouble with my control journal - it had WAY too much stuff in it. So I scrapped mine too. Now I have a much more pared down version in a binder that I am already using (my telephone and address binder). But I had to work on it 15 minutes at a time. Otherwise I would get overwhelmed. And finally figuring out MY routine has been more than helpful. I'll be adding that to the control journal too. But that's about all I'll add. I don't want there to be too much stuff in it or else I'll just lose track of everything again.
Congrats on keeping the house up!

I know it always makes me feel better when I've got some part of the house looking good. Glad you were able to enjoy your out of town company.
