The whole SAHM thing

I'm still trying to adjust to this whole SAHM thing. I had only been working part time since my oldest was born 4 and half years ago and I was fairly close to being a SAHM then, however it's all a little new and different for me now.

I'm still working on the whole routine thing. I'm adjusting well to B being in preschool, so that is good. He goes Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1-3:30, but Tuesdays and Thursdays he has speech, one day in the morning and the other day in the afternoon. So we've got something each day of the week. Makes for some interesting weeks. He's progressing really well with his speech and he really seems to like preschool, so that is all good.

I think tomorrow I'm going to sit down with my husband and try to work out some kind of to do list for me. Stuff that he thinks I should be getting done and things I think I need to get done, so that I can print out my list for the week and work on it throughout the week. I have a tendency to spend entirely too much time on the computer and I don't get as much done as I would like. I think by him sitting down with me and going over things it would help. Having a list in front of me each week would help too. I could then make reminders to pop up on my screen every so often so I can make sure I'm getting stuff done.

I did get the dishes done again today and I made the kids dinner, even if it was only fish sticks and perogies, it was something I actually had to put some effort into. I even remembered to get some of the frozen fruit out that I had bought a couple of weeks ago at Sams, so that they could have good fruit, instead of just canned fruit. I even cleaned up the kitchen and made it look nice. Guess that's a good start to my week, right?

It's a great start to the week! You'll find your groove, I know it.
