one week down!

One week down and 15 to go! My head hurts from my brain stretching. So "they" say to actually grow you have to stretch out of your comfort zone...I am stretching! I am definitely in survival mode. I have already called Nana to see if I can drive down and get some HELP with this huge project! My expectations of myself are so different now than 12 years ago! We went out to eat 2 nights...one for Steve's birthday so does that count? I am 5 loads of laundry behind and tons of homework and reading behind already even though I went to bed every night at 11 and got up at 5. I am feeling a little ADHD. I guess I need to drink some of Charity's green lemonade or I could call Katie to hook me up!!! Even though I am feeling completely overwhelmed and BROKE I am so excited and I loved my classes. I learned something new in all of them already and I took it so serious. I actually enjoyed myself!!! I felt like I spent more quality time with my kids even though my house and everything else went by the wayside! My kids are so excited that I have homework Ha Ha.

I am this way, when I overload myself I am more productive. I am a better mother and much more focussed on all of the things to be done. I also started fly lady again. I had her routine down to where it was perfect for me. I just needed her fly zones mainly.
I never am behind in my laundry because of this and I have my kids flying too. I have picked up extra hours at the airport because I took the entire summer off. So, they are flying and my house is sparkle clean and organized.
I can't blog until all chores are done, beds made, laundry started, etc. then I blog 60 minutes.
Fly lady's schedule for preparing the night before has helped and our Saturdays are untouched.

Work a schedule that will work for you. While you are studying or going to school you can have laundry washing and drying.I learned I definitely have to incorporate the kids more. But, I have made it a game and they LOVE it, REally they LOVE it. I have a blog post waiting in the banks to post.

You are Supermom. You can do anything. I bequeath you this.

(Now, go to class and find out what bequeath means for me, please. I have no clue, myself.)
