There are many things I need to do. It feels like I have so many things I want to do but there all these things that are in the way of doing the things I want to do. So, what are these things that keep getting in the way of my wants.
Some simple basic things are cleaning, outside of the house job, cooking or better said meal planning and home management stuff like the animals, doctor's appointments and running the kids all over town.
The one that tops the list is meal prep. This seems to go so much deeper than just what we enjoy eating and making a list because we are on a limited income and I struggle with wanting to eat healthy verses buying the junk food that coupons are marketed for. And I really don’t want to create a price book but I also would like to stay home instead of going out to work. If I can get the grocery budget trimmed and keep everyone’s tummies full and not have to go out to work then it is worth the time to make a price book. I guess . . .Working outside of the home has had effects on the kids and obvious effects especially after the kids broke my laptop due to a dispute that lead to a fall, on the laptop. Which I must say is far more costly than if I had just been home with them.
On the top of my list is:
Meal Management
The next item would be cleaning. This should be easy since I have two young men that could be of more help. The hard thing here too is having places for things. I see that’s where we end up with the clutter. While some things can be thrown out, other things just need a home and or their home has not been put together and the home is lost. The clutter drives me mad! This is when I wish I had more dollars to buy what I would like to get everything in a place.
Home Management
With these two areas under control I believe time will be freed up so that I can pursue other areas that I might enjoy.
What about you, where do you need to start to get to where you want to go?
