People ask me all the time how I survive as a wife, mother and generally busy person.
1. I fake it. I can't do everything and if you look under the beds in my house, you'll be able to tell that. I do my best and go from there. I vacuum as I see it in small increments. Some vacuuming is better than none!
2. I have to take time for myself. Sitting here in front of ye olde computer is me time. Yes, and I'm being nice and sharing it all with you, too.
3. I go out to eat occasionally. We shoot for cheap places and get fast food once a week as a treat for Bubba. My secret: I'm still eating the kids' meals. Lower calories AND you get a free toy. Not that anyone needs anymore toys, but they come in handy on occasion. I enjoy the food, but the weight gain...not really. This satisfies multiple needs (outside of chocolate).
4. I work ahead on whatever I can. Iron my work clothes and arrange them on a rack to pull off and wear for a month? Yep. Cook in my Crock Pot? All the time.
5. Finally, I drink coffee, especially the good stuff. If I'm going to be caffeinated to do all this stuff, I'm going to drink something that tastes good.
More to come...stay tuned.
