Behind

At this time last year I was a full time pregnant mother of two with a demanding career. I was constantly busy, but somehow I managed to have all my shopping done, most of the gifts wrapped and cards sent.  Where did I find the time? I know, that precious one hour lunch break.  I was able to complete almost all my planning and check items off that list within in that almost uninterrupted hour break. 

I had been longing to be home so that I would have more time to be a homemaker and all though I had been warned that it was hard work, I thought it couldn't be much harder than what I was facing. After all, I was managing a department of  17. Boy did I get a wake up call. Being a stay at home mom is much harder than I anticipated. Most of the time I find myself behind on homemaking and planning which has been hard since I am a planner type of person. At this very moment I am even behind on my routines I had posted about. I do have one little excuse a sinus infection but I remember going to work ill and still utilizing lunch to tackle the never ending to do list.

Back in my working days, I used to carry a small notebook that would list routines, to do lists, project planning etc in my handbag. I have been trying to transition into using a binder and word and excel spreadsheets, all things that  I use to use at work but I realize now that I can't run my home as a business. I need to go back to the good ole fashion way, with pen and paper.
