Update to Whiney Time Management Post :)

kiarox2002

So, I've taken what you guys said to heart and made a few changes.  We went on a family walk before dinner, and while it wasn't quite at an aerobic pace (Kate was walking), it was something.    Also, I'm planning on finding a video or something to do during nap/ quiet time.

I packed up a few "project boxes" so that I can be doing something vaguely creative during naptime even if I can't be in the office.  This month's projects include a felt advent calendar (that might be done by the time Kate graduates) and a December Daily scrapbook.  Last year, Kate and I did December Daily together and it was lots of fun so I'm excited to get started on Thursday.

Also, I had a heart to heart with DH and we've both agreed to make some changes.  We're going to prioritize couple time on the nights I have off and we've scheduled a date night- Kate's going to have a sleepover at my mom's.    He also helped me clean the kitchen at lunch and after dinner, which we ate a wee bit earlier to accomodate this.   His original plan was to keep writing at the same pace through December to flesh out his novel, but I think (hope) he's going to only write on the nights that I'm working instead.

Biggest change?  I'm not on my period anymore.  (Does this seem to be a running theme?  Perhaps I should not be allowed to post while menstruating?)  Also, I'm not trying to make crazy-time-consuming candy for Thanksgiving which my sister specially requests every year.  I never want to be firing up a double boiler at midnight again.  Bottom line?  Thanks for letting me vent and for offering up such great suggestions.

I'm glad things are better and you are finding some things that work well for you, your DH, and Kate. Happy kiarox=happy mommy= happy wife
