I have been asked so many times... "How do you do it?" "When do you have the time?" So to save time a blog post should do the trick, then I can cut & paste one simple link.
Time management is so necessary for me. I try to stay on top of simple chores. While dusting the shelves does get pushed aside from week to week. Opps. My kids are fed, my orders are filled & the bills are paid. Honestly more can you ask for? ha.
So here is my "typical" weekday...
7:20 am - wake up
7:30 am - dressed & ready for the day
7:50 am - kids are all fed & dishwasher unloaded & reloaded
8:00 am - make coffee
8:15 am - emails checked, facebook page checked, coffee almost gone.
8:20 am - out the door with the three littles.
8:40 am - back from getting the littles off to school.
9:00 am - shipping labels & figure the orders that need to be done.
10:00 am - lunch {YES! I eat lunch for breakfast!}
10:30 am - run the washer & dryer. Take the pug for a walk.
10:30 am - 1 pm SEW LIKE A CRAZY PERSON!!!!!
1:00 pm - ship out more orders that are complete.
1:10 pm - fold laundry.
1:45 pm - put away laundry & hopefully grab a shower.
2:00 pm - cup of coffee & relax. {tv. & cutting fabric, is that relaxing??}
3:00 pm - make lunches for the next day. - prep dinner.
4:20 pm - out the door to grab the littles.
5:00 pm - back home with the littles.
5:30 pm - homework done -
5:32 pm - food on the table {took 1 hour to cook, 2 minutes to eat!}
5:34 pm - dishes
5:50 pm - check in on emails & facebook.
6:30 pm - teeth. pjs. stories. bed.
7:30 pm - check in on emails & facebook.
8:00 pm - dvr with Mr. L.
9:30 pm - bed. YES. I go to bed at 9:30. eek. - ready to do it all again the next day.
Three years ago I would stay up all night. For real. 3 am I was still up sewing. I can't do it. I won't do it. I sew till 2pm most days. Yes. Sometimes I do some evening sewing, after the littles are in bed. You know when Mr. L is watching something awful. - Mainly, Sports. Ugh. I do this to keep sane. Healthy & Happy. {If Momma ain't happy... ain't nobody happy.}
Perhaps this is all easier now, due to the fact that my littles are all in school from 9 - 4. No more, "Mommy, can you get me a snack."
"Mommy, I need you."
"Mommy, wheres my pink crayon."
"Mommy, come & wipe my butt now."
17 bazillion times a day. Yes. I can't remember how I got anything done with three kids at home. Oh wait. I didn't I was up till 3am. How do you do it? How do you manage your time? - I am super mom. {Thats my secret to getting things done. Shhh.}
