I think I've just had trouble implementing things over the past few years since I've been more tired all the time and the distractions have been many. Looking forward to (hopefully) getting things on a better track soon!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159961811540152967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11447399.post-50213621328435341572017-08-17T14:58:40.703-05:002017-08-17T14:58:40.703-05:00Ever since I read this, I've been trying to th... Ever since I read this, I've been trying to think about anything I might share along the lines of menu planning, scheduling, and so on. I hope to put a general post together about that, sometime soon. But in the meantime I am happy that you had such a productive brainstorming session and especially that you are feeling so much more confident. And that you have supportive, encouraging friends who know exactly what you're dealing with. I really appreciated what Kathleen said about every day, week, month and year being different, with all the various challenges and surprises thrown in.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11447399.post-84754965592693225872017-08-17T13:20:12.823-05:002017-08-17T13:20:12.823-05:00Thanks so much for your comment!!

With a toddler thrown in too (and I know you can relate since your youngest is just a few years out of that stage), it seems like things are constantly changing. Just as soon as you have a routine of some kind in place, something changes again. I know it is a part of life, it's just challenging. :) I'm happy to say that I've had more time to plan since I posted this, and I'm feeling more confident about the upcoming school year. :) Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159961811540152967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11447399.post-59886496483491500242017-08-16T11:11:42.722-05:002017-08-16T11:11:42.722-05:00One of the most frustrating things is to 'want...One of the most frustrating things is to 'want' to be organized, and to try so hard, only to feel like you still fall short, and I say that to encourage, and to tell you....that I think it's a continuing cycle of trying, revamping, and trying some more. Some days feel as if it's all falling apart, some days feel like...Wow, I think I might finally have this, all to soon feel like...Ahhh, what happened, again?!!!! We all have our ups and downs, and I too am trying to feel like life is 'organized'. It's a never ending desire, and goal. Keep up the great work! Every day, every week, every month, and year seems to be different, with different challenges and surprises in store!!!! Thank You for writing about your desire to plan, we're in it with you!!! :-) Kathleen :-)noreply@blogger.com
