Where does all the time in my week go?
I cannot believe how much I my home gets negelted each week.
Yesterday, it took me 2 1/2 hours to clean the basement.
But I am also in "Fall Cleaning" mode so that may be why too.
Today on my list is to get the laundry going and get the upstairs deep cleaned.
I know I will be doing this alone.
Not that I am complaining. I would rather do it myself.
I am one of those, if I do it myself, I know it will get done right type of people.
Plus, asking for help from dh is like trying to get a lion to become just a lap animal.
I have decided that I need to make better use of my time.
I know. I know.
I am almost 40 and just now having a revelation about how terrible I time manage.
With the new job I am starting when my other ends, I will be working Monday thru Friday 8 - 5 and I need to learn how to get my "wifely duties" done each evening so I can have my weekends to do whatever I feel like.
So I found this website a long time ago, http://www.avirtuouswoman.org .
It has a "household notebook" printouts, so I printed off the Daily Schedule and am going from there.
I figure if I make a Monday thru Friday schedule from after Jazzercise until I drop in bed, then I won't have so much to do on the weekends.
I am just tired of feeling like a woman with her hair on fire every Saturday and Sunday because nothing has been done all week.
I can spend my time on things I want to do and not need to do.
That of course means being horded away in my scrap room working on Jordan's pages before graduation in May.
That time will be here before I want too.
I have been wasting my time, when no one is coming in, at work on different scrapbooking and scrapbooker sites.
I found this daily blog question on the "Two Peas" scrapbooking message board this morning.
(I stay off the non-scrap related board. Those women are just out to eat each other alive!)
Since it is a "time" issue, I thought it went well with my post this morning.
Blog about 5 things you want to do before your time is up.
Could be anything.
Blog about those 5 things.
1. Grow way to old with my dear husband
2. See my son grow and prosper in his career and personal life.
3. See my daughter flurish and prosper in her career and personal life.
4. To meet all my grandchildren and possibly great grandchildren.
5. To leave happy memories with each and every person I meet in the time I have left.
Have a great day and go make the most of the time we have been blessed with.
