The last couple of years have been a real doozy for my household. You see, I’d always worked at least part-time
since my son was born seven years ago but was able to do my
errands/housecleaning while my son was in preschool and I had a break in my
work schedule. Fast forward a few years
and I’m working more hours (full-time during the school year) and there isn’t
any room in the day for errands and cleaning.
All of that stuff has to wait until I’m home from work. Of course, the household chores have taken a
hit as I’m adjusting to this new life schedule.
I’m scrambling to get things done, my bills are unorganized and I’m just
getting by and some things are falling through the cracks. I’ve never had a “schedule” as far as when
things would get done, I would just do it on my afternoons off and it worked
out nicely. That is so far from the case
now. I’m uncomfortable with not being “on
top” of things in my house and rushing to meet deadlines that I’ve forgotten
about. I’m thinking that if I want to
have things work efficiently, I’m going to have to go to a daily plan. I’m looking through a few blogs for
cleaning/life schedules and I’ll adjust them to fit the needs of our
house. It’s just so chaotic right now
and the more I avoid things, the more things pile up. I’ll keep you updated on what kind of
schedule we keep, the adjustments we need to make and if I can keep up the
follow-up.
