The Family "Guide"

So I created a Schedule for our family.  I am actually calling it a guide.  This is because I am not so ignorant to believe that this will be followed like a true schedule.  I mean, I do have a 2 and a half year old and a 12 month old.  I mean, shit happens (pun intended).  :) 

But really, I have been thinking about this,and the truth is, if I did work a full time job outside the house, we would have to have a schedule.  I think over scheduling can be a bad thing for kids, but I have included plenty of free time in the guide to be sure that we can catch up on things we may not get to. Or times where we may go outside of the house, or we might stay in.  Depending on our moods, the weather, etc.  I am excited about this, and surprisingly enough when I talked to DJ about doing something like this, he actually agreed it would be good. :)  We will see how much he really likes this guide however. 

This also has set (earlier) bed times for the kiddos.  I am starting to see how important this is, because the truth of the matter is, no matter how much Maddie does not want to go to bed when it is time... she is SOOO much happier of a kid when she does go down early rather than later.  AND, I can surely see a difference in mental happiness for myself :)  And, as much as I would love to play the part of "being all about my kid" a happy Mom really truly equals a happy husband and family!

Even after dinner, the thought ran through my mind of leaving the after dinner mess go till tomorrow.  BUT, it is not in the schedule- so if I do leave it go till then, it will just throw the day off.  So, I cleaned up tonight.  Again, if I worked outside of the home, I would do things NOW, I wouldn't put off.  So, I am going to be running this house like a tight ship.  More for myself than anyone else...but I truly know that it will make for a happier family overall.

I REALLY need to get into the mentality of thinking it is a job and not that the dishes will get done...sometime. I hope this works for you! As much as I would love to think it would for me, I know myself all too well :)

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement

Microsoft's ambitious update to its Office 2007 suite has done away with the familiar, gray Menu of features and pull-down menus shown here in Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007. Some of the most commonly used commands have moved to unexpected places. Here's a sample of what's moved and what's new in Office 2007
