We just came back from fall break and I forgot to finish all of my planning for when we returned. (I was also late with my meal planning yesterday...)
So today I mapped out this week and then the rest of the 2nd quarter! I then proceeded to write the pretests, reviews, chapter tests, semester exam study guide and the semester exam! Then, I went through my files from last year and figured out what I would be yang again today. I also managed to photocopy the project instructions for this quarter. Not to mention, I got TONS of grades put in the computer! Whew!
Know what we call this? Progress!!!
So this afternoon I met a mommy friend for a play date. Mostly to hide from my laundry, but also for our kids to play.
See? 
Wouldn't you want to hide from that?!?
Wouldn't you want to hide from that?!? While at the park, we commiserated over small babies, getting back into working out and trying to lose baby weight. I got some great feedback and shared some of my ideas for the blog. I'm thinking of sharing my breastfeeding tips, writing a workbook/planner of things to do for yourself/kiddo kind of like a book of yearly checklists, and (maybe) sharing some of my more personal tips regarding being married for 14+ years. Some days are great and some days well, they just aren't.
I have found though that approaching parenting like teaching really helps. One piece of this, I discussed last week when I said that I had gone to the bank and was told to start by setting small goals. Well, guess what? I had a list of to-do's and one of them has already paid off!!
So, don't try and do all your laundry at the same time. But maybe set a goal for a load a day? What great tips do you have for managing it all?
