Kerri, sounds like you're having a rough start on the week. You know what always makes me feel better when things get crazy? Chocolate - - A LOt of chocolate. So Kerri, indulge a little and do like kids do when the game is going bad - - demand a "do-over".
As far as taking a breather - - I am putting some ideas for my routine on paper. I started by listing all the tasks I do and how long it atkes me to do each one. Then, I wrote next to each item if it is something that can be done while my liitle one is awake or napping. After that, I made a rough draft of a weekly chore list. I will test my list this week and see if it actually works in real life. The only thing I did not include was exercise - - I think I need to get the feel of this routine before I add something like that. I actually have meal planning in my schedule (my least favorite item) and I will see how that goes. Well I must go now, because according to my written routine, today is bathroom cleaning day
And to Lenora - - 4.5 pounds in one week??? WOW - you go girl! How are you doing that?!
