Today was just one of those days. I can't even tell you what was accomplished from my To-Do list other than emptying the dishwasher and doing 4 loads of laundry. Ok, maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. But with the kids in school, I feel like I should attempt at least one grand activity each day and I should have a clean house to show for my time spent alone at home.
One thing that I accomplished as setting up our schedule. I've been wanting to volunteer at my kids' school but they require a ton of paperwork and clearances from the state - all of which take time to receive back in the mail. Yesterday I finally compiled all the paperwork and dropped it off. I can officially step foot in the building now, so I'm set up to volunteer.
I called to volunteer at the library and how they do it is every other week with your child's class and the next class. So I'll spend every other week helping out and seeing my kids' classes at their library time. Another thing I set up was piano lessons. We are not that family running from activity A to activity B constantly to keep our kids entertained and active. But now each will have one musical activity and one sport activity. Add to it PTA meetings, girls nights out, dinners with family & friends and we're looking at a completely full calendar.
I'm thankful for our family and the full schedule that a family of four can bring. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself for those days where I can't find 5 minutes to sit down! It's a beautiful life! What do you do to organize your schedules?
