So after watching a friend’s Youtube video, The Winey Budget I was inspired to get organized. That notion passed quickly though as I am a creature of chaos
I have purchased notebooks, planners, phone apps – all with the intent on getting organized. I’ve watched videos, searched Pinterest for ideas and created calendars of every size …to no avail. I doubt I will ever be as organized as I’d love to be, but until then, I’ll keep trying.
Last night, my husband gave me a bullet journal that I told him that I had seen on Pinterest. I’ve actually started using it – not because I know what I’m doing, but because I know he will ask me about it later. My husband is also responsible for setting up my office in my basement. AND OF COURSE my monitor size is ridiculous – a man set it up! (You should see the TV in the family room!)
Anyway, I’m trying to juggle this thing called stay-at-home mom’ing that people think is such an easy task. Well, I’ve worked from the time that I was fifteen up until the time that I retired and let’s just say this stay-at-home stuff is way harder. Before I retired, I worked 8-10 hours in a scout car, went home, cooked, ate and went to bed. Now, I have to schedule one day to myself every month just to decompress from the ridiculousness of my unorganized life. So, I need to get my stuff together. I mean, I saw it on TV! Moms cleaning, cooking, doing laundry while wearing high heels and mascara, taking kids to their activities, then coming home and being “wife”… and they did all of this with a smile. What the heck am I doing wrong?
I’m supposed to be retired. Yet, here I am doing all of the abovementioned activities, being a girl scout mom, a dance mom, a swim mom and a small business owner. So yeah, I’m a work in progress. Follow me on my adventure as I get my life in order or die trying. LOL
