So I wanted to share a few things I am doing, in order to survive my chaos. I have been doing things a bit differently around here. And, Shawn, this will all go back to "normal" when you get home (especially #1 and #2).
1. I make my own coffee.
2. I take out the trash. On time.
3. I don't recycle anything more than what is collected at our curbiside. (Cardboard goes in the trash can, sorry. I am not driving all the way out there!)
4. I do a load or two of laundry almost every day. I normally insist on waiting for a "laundry day" since our washer is so enormous.
5. Dinner is at 4:30pm. And it will be simple. Last night was my famous "English Muffin Pizzas." I don't think you need me to write down that recipe!
6. Big kids get a shower or bath at 6:30pm. Hilarious, I know. But it works. Henry gets his bath at 8:00 so I have to start the other two early.
7. I pay someone to do my lawn.
8. Sometimes I forget to brush my teeth.
9. I eat standing up in the kitchen usually while preparing meals for the kids. I aim to get my meal eaten before the kids eat. I am quite grouchy when I am hungry.
10. I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it. (Shawn, listen to this...) Just this morning I asked a man to help me carry in my boxes at the post office instead of juggling everything myself! I KNOW! I could hardly believe I did it either! I should add that I attempted to carry everything first, but decided to ask when I didn't even have enough hands and arms to get out of the car.
