Introducing myself to the person I want to be
I would like to be this organized.I’d love to be dressed before 10:00 on my “home” days. Well done! But I don’t see “sit and drink coffee and read newspaper” time. Or am I forgetting what life is like with little ones?
That newspaper gets read with my breakfast and coffee, for now! Once number four comes I can kiss that newspaper goodbye. It’s funny, I remember judging the chaos of a day by whether I got to read the paper or not (and brush my teeth). At the end of the day I would feel sorry for myself and think, ‘I didn’t even get to read the paper” 😦
This schedule is ridiculous and really something to aim for. There will be plenty of days where nobody is dressed by lunch…
It also looks a lot harsher in black and white. In reality, the whole thing has made life remarkably easier. Especially that supper prep (btw, friends had the kids from 4-6 the other day and I made supper alone and had the TV on and The Young and the Restless came on, so I cooked away and thought of you!)
Thanks Bobbi!
