We have been busy here and it seems that I try to constantly pack too much into what is essentially two days... these two days seem like they should let us accomplish more then they do although they never do. Do you have this problem?? I make a list of things that I think that I should be able to accomplish in one day and it seems to take all week to get the list done. Then, I get to the weekend burned out with an even longer list that doesn't get done.
One weekend we put up a fan! (Okay, this is a collective we...meaning my husband put it up). I even unpacked at least one box that weekend too. That was it!!
Another weekend we (again really my husband) put up three shelving units in the storage area for all our stuff to try to make it neater...we didn't get enough time to try to organize the shelves or put anything else on them. I might have actually thrown a few things away this weekend and swept up the floor in the storage area. It took almost the rest of the week to get all the things back on the shelves because it wasn't just the items in the middle of the floor but the items in the hallway too!!
This last weekend, I went to a neighborhood yard sale (getting my son's favorite toy for an amzing deal of $7 for this cute carrying case and 5 Beyblades and a few more deals I scooped up) and we went to a soccer game in Saturday followed by one grocery shopping trip. Sunday we went to the grocery store and Home Depot ending with a take out because we were so exhausted from this weekend. Umm, this isn't enough in a weekend to actually make it through the rest of the week being productive!!
I tend to think that "we" would get more done if he stopped going to work since he is the one getting everything done. Of course, that certainly would hurt the bottom line because we might not have a roof over our head any more money to do those nice things too. Trying to be patient but having a hard time!!! So many things still on the to do list and not enough time to get them done!!
Dreading that the end of the summer means less free time and trying to figure out how we are going to get all these things done when we are both working. How do people do this when both parents are working and then kids are more active and have to make it to different events?? A busy weekend ending out the busy month trying to get back into the normal schedule!!
