"Simple" ideas..?

Good. I finally fixed my blog so that I can once again update via phone. These days I am RARELY at my actual desktop or laptop. Run, Running, around my house and playing with kids. It gets hectic.
I'm coming up with some different ways to help make my life easier and more productive.
Yesterday I called Dave at work to sarcastically, yet with all seriousness, tell him my couple ideas and then to see if he had any to add.
He laughed and said he'd be thinking.
Here are some of mine. Easy, complicated and those that will take some trial and error.
-An accordion file for all my bill stuff. I save the stubs for power, gas, mortgage, hospital bills, etc and I'm not 100% sure why I save them all but I think it's a good idea. So, having them in some sort of order makes me feel less clutter brained and better.
-Sell our Honda civic and get rid of our 295$ car payment. !! Lately I think car payments are such a waste. I'm ready to get a bigger yet "crappier" car that we can save a bit monthly.
-Turn down the water heater
-Plan out a 2 week dinner schedule and shopping list. ---THIS is the tough new one for me. I am excited to see how I do and if I like this idea. I'm using the Food Nanny cookbook and website. This website lets you pick your recipes then it creates a shopping list for you. It's been a couple days is all and I love that I KNOW what's for dinner. Not something that I already did or cared about.
-Buy a gym pass. Not just for me to use but me and the kids LOVE going to burn off energy and practice our sports skills. This rec center even has a golf putting green, drive range area, and batting cages along with the other basic goods. "Getting out" is key to a good day-especially if it's physical. That's my book though:)
SO far that's what I'm working with.

P.S. Harper Lee is crawling full on and eating all and everything. She is a hand full of lovin.
