Hello.

Hi. It’s Tuesday and normally I’d have a “Tackle It Tuesday” post here for you to read about. Not this time. Well, I do. Kinda. And I’ll even link up with Tackle It Tuesday so I don’t completely ruin my reputation. But the thing is, I’m just not “feeling it”, ya know? There was no Menu Plan Monday yesterday either, which is just as well, because I haven’t actually figured out how to stick to said plan when I make it.
So, today, you get a collection of my random thoughts. You can stop reading now and come back another time when I am posting freebies, bargains, or a meme. If you stay, remember it was your decision. No arm-twisting here. Still here? Awesome. I’m feeling the love already!

I actually have been working on a tackle the past day or so. My 22-month-old son’s laundry kinda got out of control. Pausing here as I realize he is 22 months old TODAY! Wow, where that time go already?? And what in the world am I doing to celebrate the big 2-year-old mark?? Suggestions welcome. Back to the topic at hand. His laundry. Let’s just say there were plenty to be washed and plenty that had been washed before and just never got put away. I meant to. It just never happened. (Adding to the fact there was clean, put away stuff it leads me to wonder – how does one little tyke need so much?). It’s not all clothes. There’s blankets, sheets, towels, washcloths, and I’m not even sure what else, but I’m reasonably sure it’s a cotton field or two worth. So, the tackle is still underway, but it’s felt good to get done what I have already. Most of his shirts are hanging up, except for a few because I ran out of hangers.. This includes the ones he is growing out of, ones he is growing into and ones that kinda fit just right. I guess that combination is another reason for cotton overload. All long sleeve shirts, jackets and such have been pulled out of the mix and will be packed up. Next, I tackled the shorts. All washed and put away. I was using one of the drawers the shorts are now in for more winter wear, so all that got pulled to get packed up as well. After the shorts came pants and jeans. As with all I did before it, I pulled out the “too small” sizes. All washed and put away. I have a “found” drawer in his dresser now – just sitting there completely empty. After the pants & jeans, I moved on the PJs. Out with all the warm fuzzy footed sleepers. I use the 2-drawer nightstand for the PJs and guess what? Another “found” drawer, now empty. Did I mention yet the ever-growing pile of clothing to be packed away? There are some that is still too big for him, so that gets packed away too, for now. That part of the tackle is not yet done. I am currently working on the towels, washcloths, sheets, blankets, and remaking his bed. I want to go through all my clothes too and pull out stuff that I’m just not wearing, but may seriously put that off after dealing with all of my son’s clothing and linens. So, that in a nutshell (an amazingly large nutshell as I look back over all I wrote) is my Tackle It Tuesday. But I still say it doesn’t count ‘cause I’m just not feeling it.
If you are still reading this, bless your heart, because I’ve still got random thoughts flying around in my head.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. Well, I’ll give you hints anyway, because there’s a lot still being worked on, not all confirmed, and I don’t want to let the cat entirely out of the bag, but since you’ve stuck with me and are still reading this post, I feel you deserve some sort of reward.
Multitasking Mama is gonna be making some changes. A lot of changes. I’ve been checking out blog designers, so the first hint is that it is gonna look a lilttle different around here. Well, actually it isn’t. Because the second hint is that it might not be “here”. Yep, Multitasking Mama may be moving to self-hosted WordPress. Now, that is gonna cause a little boat rocking, because y’all will have to change your feed info, the visitor counter will get reset (let me tell you how excited I am to be nearing 20,000 in just over 2 months – thank you for showing me the love!), and other misc stuff that goes along with such a major move. To help offset the downside of the move, I have some grand things in store – besides the new design. So, stick around. It’ll be worth it. And if you haven’t added Multitasking Mama to your feed reader, do it. After all, how will you know when to change the feeds if you don’t have it in the first place? LOL!!
Remember that post about winning the DVD Palmcorder? I’d really really love to do that. I don’t usually win big things and I’d love to completely surprise my dear hubby with it. Can you help me? I promise it doesn’t cost anything but a few minutes of your time. The deal is that in exchange for 100 people registering at their site, they are giving away a prize. It’s a numbers game. Maybe the more members they have the better advertising they can get or something. Whatever their promo reasons are, I’d love to win it. Lucky Search is just a search engine. I need (10) wonderful souls to go and sign up and then find (10) more wonderful souls that they know to sign up under them and then I get this awesome prize. I tell ya what. If I can win it, I’ll do a giveaway just for those that signed up from my link! I’ll do a post about it soon to announce this decision. (It just came to me! LOL!). After you sign up and invite others to sign up, you can use it or not. (Supposedly, each time you perform a search you have a chance to win a prize). Did I mention the giveaway for you kind folks that help me out?
I’m sure there were even more random thoughts flying around my head, but it’s gotten kinda quiet now. And I think I should get back to my son’s cotton-field… I mean laundry…







OK, I made it to the end, do I get a prize? Ha ha. I wonder if it is harder to do a wordpress or not. I like blogspot. I like the photo at header.
Great tackle. Moving is always a pain. Even if it’s just your blog!
Been working in the sunflower garden myself. Come see!

Your tackle sounds like the same one I’m working on, except my daughter is only 8 months old - 8 MONTHS! How did that happen so quick?
