Yesterday was crazy around our house. Laundry day is normally a little chaotic, but this one was exceptionally so. I was determined to get everything done at all costs. It surprised me when I actually accomplished most of what I set out to do.
Laundry – washed, folded, AND put away
Meals – cooked, eaten, AND cleaned [...]
Yesterday was a LONG day and the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was wash dishes. They’d already been “soaking” since Sunday night, so they needed to be done. My husband wasn’t taking the hints.
After he went to bed and the house quieted down and I finished my writing work for [...]
There is a misconception that some people are born organized and others are not. If that were true, I would fall into the later category. My room was always a mess, I never planned things out, and spontaneity was always my style of order.
Now I’m a mom – and one that is working at home [...]
“Where is your father?” As soon as the words are out of my mouth, I’m reminded of a commercial where the kids have put the sprinkler in the living room and dad asks “where is your mother?” (For the record, the mom in the commercial is off shopping).
There’s one son in the family [...]
There are days that I just can’t seem to get anything done on the computer. Either the kids are in chaos mode, or the house needs attention or an emergency comes up that there is no way I could have planned around.
Keeping consistent content on my blog can be hindered by these days. [...]
My family schedule scheme is working out – for the most part. Sure, there have been those days when some of the to-dos rolled over to the next day. There have even been some to-dos that have been forgotten. Over the last two weeks, we have pretty much stayed on track, and the house has [...]
There never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done. I can start out with all of the good intentions – usually I get breakfast and maybe lunch done – but sooner or later the sky starts falling.
I’ve decided that it is partly do me getting up before sunrise. [...]
As a stay at home, work at home, homeschooling mom of three active boys, I tend to stay fairly busy. To add to the chaos, my husband is a pack rat who hates clutter. Over the last seven years, I’ve been struggling to find ways to meet all the demands that I face [...]
I’m having a do-over day.
For the last two weeks, my husband has been busy with work and hasn’t been around very much. I’ve pushed myself to get everything done, even without the added help. After two weeks, I’m beginning to see just how much I need my husband around. If for no other reason than [...]
I finally know the key to getting it all done. It’s amazing just how simple it is – once you know.
It’s been an interesting road getting to this point in my life. I’ve never been much of an organizer, cleaner, or saver. Living for the moment seemed to be my motto for life. In the [...]
