So today is the first day of my blog. I have been thinking about writing this blog for a long time now and never started it because I wasn't sure if I had anything to say that was worth reading...I guess my daily life has taken a turn that I am so unfamiliar with I thought maybe writing about it might help. I just had my third child and when asked the other day how life with three was treating me I responded "There are two groups of moms - those who do well with a lot of kids and are patient and organized and then there is the second group who seems to be trying to keep their head JUST above the water on a daily basis - I am in the second group - maybe moving on to the third group soon...." Why is daily life so difficult? Why do I seem to be the only mom who looks like they were dragged behind their car the whole way to school? Why can't I seem to get a shower in? Why do I never seem to be able to finish a cup of coffee in the morning? I am not complaining - don't get me wrong - I love my kids and would die of anything happened to them but I am really not so great at my job - If I had a review right now I believe I would be placed on probation. The kids are fed and clean and loved - so DSS will not be visiting anytime soon but is it that hard to find a clean outfit without having to dig through the dirty clothes pile in the basement? I decided I would create a "Idea of the Day" or a "Idea of the Week" - heck, it might even have to be renamed at some point to "Idea of the Month" depending on how I am doing.....I have tried all the organizing websites and they just don't seem to work for me and my style - I don't have time to keep a journal or have index cards etc. - I know people swear by the Flylady (and I think she is just wonderful for what she has done for thousands of people!) but I just couldn't get her system to work for me - again, something I am not good at.....
TODAY'S MOM IS THE NEW BLOG "IDEA OF THE DAY":
Give everyone their own dirty clothes basket in their rooms. Every day of the week will be one person's day for the wash and that way you will not waste time sorting the laundry, You can wash, dry, fold and put away that person's wash. The other days can be for towels, sheets or general household items. Having 5 people in my family and a dog I am going to try this and see how it works. I'll let you know...wish me luck.
