Did You Say Schedule?

     The most successful moms are the ones who can have a schedule and follow it, right? I think there is definitely at least a little bit of truth to this. Ouch. Yeah, I said ouch. If I'm being completely honest with you guys, I've got to tell you...I am not a scheduled person, like, AT ALL. I know, it's terrible. You should see me when I start to make a schedule. I go WAY overboard and plan things down to the quarter hour...and then I get uber overwhelmed and wonder how exactly I am going to be able to stick with it. And then I don't stick with it. This happens to be a pattern in my life. I actually sat down yesterday and started a schedule. I decided to put the major things down like, "wake up", "eat lunch", "dinner", "bedtime" etc. It took me an hour before I realized that I was getting way too detailed again. I was bummed but realized that I can't have and be everything. God made me more of an outside of the box, fly by the seat of my pants sort of gal.

     I plan to continue working on my scheduling techniques as I go. I'm in no way going to see myself become a "by the books" person overnight. That's okay, right? I want to be a successful mother, wife, and homemaker and I think that making a schedule will help me do those things even better.

     For those of you who happen to be like me, you are blessed with the ability to fly by the seat of your pants. Hey, it can be a great thing! Yet I see the value in being able to know what the heck is going on, at least half the time.
     I'd love to know how other mamas out there use scheduling and/or non-scheduling as a tool to help the day run more smoothly. Love to hear your thoughts! Please comment :)
