About a month ago I was about to lose my mind. I have never been organized, yet I am a perfectionist. As you can imagine, not a very good combination. I was having a battle between what I wanted to accomplish in my life and what I actually WAS accomplishing. There were so many things I wanted. I wanted to be an awesome wife, mother, friend, daughter, teacher, and Christian. But how could I, when I was barely staying above water...and by water, I mean, laundry, dishes, lunches, dinners, diapers, dusting, vacuuming, dogs, working, and everything else expected of me!
After so long feeling like a failure in every area, feeling like I was the only woman out there who couldn't manage her life, I decided to reach out and ask for help! Two things happened: first, I realized I was definitely NOT the only woman feeling this way, and second, a friend stepped up and offered to make me lunch and talk it out. She also happened to have majored in Organizational Management!!
After that blessed lunch, I knew what I had to do: Time Management. I spent the next 2 days making a daily schedule, a chore calendar, and a monthly menu. I have tried it for a week, and have already benefited from many improvements.
I thought since I am not the only wife and mother out there who wants so badly to be a God-honoring woman in every aspect of her life, and is not a natural at it, I would start a blog. I will share my struggles and failures, any good ideas I come across!
