I need some tips and advice. I am feeling overwhelmed with my PC business and life. Here's what is on my plate and takes up my time:
Help me get my life and business in order please!
Thanks, any and all tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
- I am kicking-up my business - which involves more time on the phone, computer, shows, office & paper work.....you know the routine
- DS is in Kindergarten. I help out in his class when I can. For those of you who do not know this - Kindergarteners have homework and it seems like we can never get around to it until after dinner and by then he is tired and feisty. We are trying to set a schedule though - he gets home @ 3:00, play time until @ 5:00 then do homework while I work on dinner, dinner by 6:30 and then bath, a little bit of TV and read before he goes to bed. DS also goes to extra classes at school for speech and reading so we are working with him more at home on the reading part.
- I spend the day with my granny once every week or so (3 hour round trip drive)
- Several months ago we took ownership of my mom's dogs, this has been more work and frusteration than I imagined it would be. We put in an electric fence, but they don't mind the shock (actually, I think they like it!) so I cannot leave them outside unattended. They are Border Collies so thed NEED to be outside. We are planing a 'real fence', but that probably won't happen before spring.
- I go to the gym a couple of mornings each week so that takes 2-3 hours of away from home time.
- I do some volunteer work for my homeowners association.
- I have a large house that takes time to keep clean. I do have a cleaning lady once a month, but she mostly does the bathrooms and dusting type stuff. With the dogs and DS I have to vaccum the hardwood floors every other day. And, I just can't seem to get rid of the clutter! PC clutter, mail clutter, toy clutter (DS has a play room, but it is upstairs and when he is alone he likes to be downstairs with us), DH's clutter.....it's getting on my nerves too (I really can't complain too much b/c some of it is mine)
- We are doing a few renovations in the house - which adds to the clutter and disarray.
- Misc duties: cook dinner, dishes, laundry, grocery, chauffer, maid, mommy, wife....."Wonder Woman"
- DH travels 3-4 days a week, he helps out when he's home so I can't really complain about him not helping.
