HELP!
I really want to know how to keep up with my life! How does one clean house, do laundry, cook, pay bills, play with their children, shop for food, feed the animals and find time for my family. I have to admit everything gets put by the way side for Jason and Logan. I am OK with this until I can't stand my house anymore and I look around.
So my question to all of you is "How do you do it?" I work more then the normal 40 hours and just can't seem to keep up. I will take any suggestions at this point. Maybe I am being to hard on myself but I just want to be able to keep up with my house and still have time for everything else.

Sorry Christina I have not had near the time to reply to your post, though I did think about it and I do think you are being hard on yourself we all struggle to fit everything in. We use weekends for family cleaning/shopping time. Laundry gets done as it overflows in the floor. We go see my family every sunday for the rams game. And the rest is just go with the flow.
Chill ;) HOpe some of that could help.
ALSO if you could ask your sis if they saw/heard anything Fri. night I would appreciate it.........
When I DO keep up with everything, it's because I've scheduled every minute of my day- literally. I rarely stick to this habit, but I take an index card and map out my day- 6:30-7:30 get everyone ready for the day, 7:30-8 taxi to school, 8-8:30 breakfast, 8:30-9:30 clean floors... you get the idea. The hard part is sticking to the schedule, which is why I have little luck keeping the routine up for more than a few days! But for those few days, I'm satisfied and can relax after we put the kids to bed...
On a regular basis, I stay on my feet if I want to be productive, but Tina's right. I think that none of us really keep up with everything on our to-do lists. It's more about prioritizing. My belief is that it is more important to have a house full of love than free from clutter.
Hope someone posts a miracle fix! :-)
I don't have any suggestions for you. But I did want to let you know that I'm having one of these days today as well...you're not alone!
