Owning our own business, my freelance photography biz, PTA, working P/T as a professional photographer for another company, cooperative preschool, a social life?, planning events for our family, child activities, walking the dog, feed the fish...oh and laundry? Vacuuming? Dishes?? Am I griping? Not really, my life is full, too full! Just trying to plan a play date becomes a major issue. I came to that crazy notion as I was rescheduling my daughters play date for the 3rd time! it's not that I'm a flake. I'm not disorganized too horribly and I keep a day planner up as much as I can. It seems like I have more on my plate than most and I can't figure out where to cut it.
Obviously I can't not work so that stays.
I have backed off from volunteering a bit....OK.
The kids activities is what's killing me! Music class is mucho importante (even though DH doesn't seem to think so) That is 2 days/week. That stays.
Swimming is also important and temporary so that stays.
T-Ball? Husband refuses to let that one go...stays.
Attending the big boys games....well pretty important and I go as much as I can.
Where do you stop? I have a friend with three young children and she has them in a plethora of activities and her house is of course spotless and she is always the image of perfection, calm, cool and collected. Dressed with thought so it seems, showered every day so it seems. How does she do it?
I would love to see posts from my readers of their organizing tips and success stories. Shortcuts and more. I've started lists. Lists are how I managed my job in the corporate world. At this point I surely feel like I'm missing out on enjoying my family and instead I'm the human taxi. Check-Lists long-term or daily seem to be a great way to keep in "check" where your focus is. Blogging this post is not on my list by the way. :) This would be one of the most common tools for procrastination. That said....leave your comments below! Phew...I'll check that off the list I haven't made yet today. Trust me!
