Tell Me How You Do It

Homework+Dinner+Siblings+EveryoneIsTired = I Am Going To Run Screaming Into The Street

Soooo, tell me how you manage the time & still get it all done.  We aren't totally drowning every night BUT I am open to ideas and advice :)

I love that this post has no comments. you know why? Because I don't think any of us know HOW we do it-- we just DO IT. oh crap, did I just quote Nike??

anyway... sometimes I get a little frustrated with myself because I have awesome friends who send me links for things like homemade granola, and I think YES! This is something I am TOTALLY doing. and then I feel guilty for the next umpteen months when I grab the box of granola bars from the store. Sigh.

And then, this week, I realized that most of those emails come from folks without ft jobs. Yes, they are very busy, and yes, sahm rarely actually stay at home... but still. A sil remarked that she thought 1 job = 3 kids, so there you go.

And I know that the grass is always greener elsewhere, but still- I rather play on the sahm team. Since I'm not, well, we just keep limping along!

Having now left my LONGEST comment evah... when I use the crock pot or try to plan 2 days ahead, it works really well. I just haven't made that an actual ROUTINE yet. and I only have 1 kid, lol

No answers over here. I kind of think it will be easier once all 3 are in school. Because it is torture to make Andrew sit and do his homework while the other two dance around playing like crazy people.

Dinner isn't as difficult...I guess because I'm just a SAHM and I plan my meals ahead...if it is something complicated, I'll start in the afternoon (like chopping, etc), and at least I don't have to decide what to make ;)
