Maybe Next Week

We ran errands yesterday so I felt pretty productive.  We even went to the library!  That was really fun.  We might just have to make a weekly library night.
          I didn't really get anything done today, however. Oh!  I won tickets to a home and lifestyle show on the radio.  That was pretty useless but exciting.  Maybe I'll get some really great ideas for my house.
          I'll probably start the new schedule next Mon (24th).  I am very good at being a procrastinator.  Next week I'm visiting my mom for 3 days so it would probaly be better to start the routine when I'll have a whole week to do it.  I do have goals for next week though.  Kind of a jump start o the new progam.  Seth will be waking up at 930 and going to bed at 930 (asleep by 10).  I wish we were one of those lucky families whose kids went to bed at 8:00 but I think I would function even less if I had to get up at 6:00 in the morning.  So I guess I'll count my blessings (while sleeping in).

A new year, a new me

Okay, I realize I'm a little late for the new year post (but I haven't posted since October so it's probably not surprising).  The new year started with son and husband being very sick.  Since I had to take care of a sick child (poor hubby was pretty much on his own), everything fell apart. My Christmas tree is still up but hasn't had ornaments on it for a week!  The whole house looks like it exploded.  It really made me realize (again) the importance of being organized and neat. The house was pretty messy but I couldn't keep up with it once the guys got sick.  So this year I will clean everyday.  I will plan meals every week.  I might even exercise.  I found an awesome website to help with meal planning ( http://www.saymmm.com/) and I'm writing up a daily schedule that I will stick to.  I know there are moms out there that function and even have time for fun.  This year I will be one of them.
