I am not feeling very successful at being a stay at home mom with my only child at school, I think I miss the schedule that comes with having a child at home. After a couple weeks of feeling like I have accomplished very little I think it is time to create myself a schedule (Thanks Kelli K for the idea and inspiration!). This will hopefully keep me motivated and help me feel like I am using my time wisely while Delaney is at school. And if I get a job, it will hopefully help me balance it all (the job market is not looking so good though, surprise, surprise!).
My plan for today is to get all the laundry done and put away! I would also like to put together a menu for the week, and thanks to a day of freezer cooking this should be fairly easy!
Tuesdays I am hoping to devote to volunteering in the media center at D's school. This may change as they just hired a new librarian and she may have a different schedule that she wants to go with. I am also planning on going to the gym in the morning after taking D to the bus stop.
And that is as far as I have gotten on my planning....obviously I need days for cleaning, shopping, and errands!
Until summer comes again, you've been "retired" from full-time parenting. Looks like you're off to a good start with some scheduling. I would suggest that you "schedule" some free time for those moments when you're struck with new ideas and inspirations.
