Hello everyone – I feel like I finally had a good nights sleep. I was alseep by like 1:00 am or so. SO things are getting better. I ws able to get a far amount of my list done yesterday at home and work, so I felt good about that.
I ended up staying home last night with Tommy while hubby and Josh went to Ask Wed service. I was a bit coughy and didn’t want to disturb everyone. The children’s minister called and asked me to MC the New Parent Dinner on Saturday, so I will be doing that. I have to pick up door prize donations from Mullberry Cottage today. I really was surprised how generous our local businesses were when I sought donations for the dinner.
Today I am working form home. I have a ton of paperwork and time enter to do for work. If I do it from home I am undisturbed and can get so much more done. At my office my phone rings constantly and people stop by my desk, etc. So I hope to get time recording all done today. I do have to leave and attend an IEP meeting i nthe middle of the day.
This afternoon at I have another Dr appointment to discuss my chest pains. I hope that doesn’t take all day this time.
Mrs_Ann_A – the bookies group is nice. I like to read along with them even if I don’t participate in the discussions. I find books I would have never read before. Check it out! http://www.geocities.com/bookiestoo/
Crazymomma – I have White Orelander on my To Be Read pile, my ever growing pile!
Peanutmom – Hmmm…how do I work and get my list done?? Well as you see I usually don’t get all my list done. Some things stay on for a while. I have to use a list or I just forget everything. I do my xanga before work and print out my list for the day and then put it on the kitchen table. I don’t accomlish anything without a list. I am lucky in that my hubby usual has supper made when I arrive home from work, so one less thing for me. I spend time with the kids after supper. You know homework, baths and reading stories, etc. Tommy goes to bed by usual 8:30 and Josh starts his shower then. From 8:30 until about 10:00 or so is my time to do my list. I go fast and I have my work sort of divided out, each day is a certain thing. That is how I manage, it is all in the routines!! I follow a lot of the routines, etc of flylady! So if you are interested you can find all about Flylady at http://www.flylady.net/
I don’t read all the testimonies and stuff in Flylady emails much, but I do the missions and like the reminders. Once I had my routines and daily plans developed that worked for me, it was simply make my list for the day. I do best when I am organized and on top of things. Hope this helps, sure helped me! This month Flylady is focusing on getting for finances in order. I am really finding that helpful, but am already doing most of the things.
If I remember I will try and share some of my household forms and weeekly routines, etc……I was working on getting them on my website. Another tip that I find helpful is since i have my list and I know what i need to do, I will do a few things during my lunch break at work. On Wednesdays during my lunch break I do home paperwork sort of stuff, clip coupons, make grocery list, etc. On Thursdays I run any errands over lunch that I might have, like Target, Dollar Store, Bank, Post Office. I save all errands for one day. That really really helps!! Nothing eats up more time then having to run to the grocery store every day, etc.

Thanks for the link, that does look interesting. Right now though I am reading three books at once and not doing well with any of them lol! I usually only read one book at a time, that seems to work better.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting at my site today. š I am glad you enjoyed the pictures of the boys.
Very glad to hear that you got some sleep last night. That alone, makes a person feel so different. Good luck on getting everything on your to do list done today!
Hugs,
Chelle
