My Crazy Life

So I've decided to try this blogging thing again. Why? Well, I've heard if you write things down, you get it off your chest. So I decided to use this forum as a sort of "therapy" if you will. I also thought that there may be other moms out there that will either relate or at the very least, get a laugh out of my chaos! Let's start with... A week in the life of Sabrina: Monday - 8:30 - 5:30 Work, 6:30 - 8:30 Work Tuesday - 8:30 - 5:30 Work Wednesday - 8:30 - 5:30 Work, 6:30 - 8:30 Work Thursday - 8:30 - 5:30 Work, 1st and 3rd Thursday - Troop Meetings, Last Thursday - Couponing Group Friday - 8:30 - 5:30 Work Saturday - Catch up day, spend time with family Sunday - Church, 1:30 - 6:30 Work On top of all this I am a mother of two (7 and 17 months), married for 9 years. I am an extreme couponer, I teach couponing classes, I am a Girl Scout Troop Leader and I own a Cake Decorating Company. Hidden City Cakes I am often asked, "How do you do it all?" My response, "My family is happy and that is all that matters to me!" And I mean that from the depths of my soul. The reality is this, I would love to relax. Just take a day to do NOTHING! But unfortunately, that is not an option right now. And that's ok. What's the old saying, "You can rest when your dead!" LOL! My grandpa used to say that to me! I do have a few tools that I use to keep myself in line. First, is my calendar app on my phone. Second is the Mom's Plan It Planner by SunRiver Publications. This planner is great because it is week by week but has 16 months of planning space. It also has a To Do List each week and a spot for a Grocery List and Weekly Menu. It also has a spot in the back for important names and phone numbers. This planner helps me to be sure I don't forget anything. From classes, to school events for the kids to doctors appts, it all fits great in this planner. A calendar, as most of you moms I'm sure has come to love, is a key to time management and scheduling. I have found a few blogs out there also that I have found to be diamonds in my life. I will definitely be mentioning them in future blogs. So going forward, if you are reading this, it will probably read like a diary. I just want to get things out of my mind and into the open. You know how sometimes when you watch a movie a couple times, you see something different each time? Well, I'm hoping that this blog will do that for me! :) A couple things to know about me for future blogs: What am I reading? The Four Seasons of Marriage and The Mockingjay What is the last movie I saw? The Hunger Games (and before that, I can't even remember it's been so long) I think that's it for now. Signing off! Good Night World!
