Time

I am concerned about how I spend my time like most women are concerned about losing weight. I think about it A LOT.

I am constantly trying to find a daily schedule that works for me and my family. Or maybe its a daily routine.

I go back and forth between if I am a routine kind of girl or a schedule kind of girl, I think a little of both.

With the kids sleeping and awake times its pretty much on a schedule. They wake up generally at the same time every day and naps are on the dot at 9:00 am for Lucy and 2-5 pm for Ryder AND Lucy.

Even yesterday I was out running some errands and I had one more stop to make at Target. I only needed 6 things, but it was 1:50. I was passing right by Target and it took everything I had to make myself just run in really quick, grab the items and come home. I was freaking out about not being home @ 2:00 for her nap. So, she was about 30 min late going to sleep, and was a MONSTER in Target. 

 I would like to make a schedule out for my day, and how and what I should clean, and what I should be doing at this certain time, but nothing ever sticks.

I guess I just like consistency. I know that things in life happen that throw our whole schedule out the window, and thats ok. But on the boring, day to day times when nothing special is happening I like having something to guide me.

So, do you have a routine or schedule you follow? Ive heard "meat in the morning" like get all your daily chores out of the way early. And I have tried that, and it works......but if I dont get to check my email, read the blogs I like and whatever in the a.m......well, I just HATE IT!! haha! I guess thats something I need to talk to Jesus about.
