getting organized

Being organized is a must for me.
I have 4 boys that go to 4 different schools and I finally have a system that works for us. Each of the boys is assigned a color and that color is used on all schedules. They each have a binder in their color and it contains all of their school, medical information and therapy (for the 2 that have PT, OT, Speech and Vision therapies) information. I also have a family binder that includes all of our schedules and important information.




I make our menu a month at a time and I prep our meals for the week on Sunday evening after the boys go to bed. I write the menu for the week and that helps me stay on our schedule.



I also have set days for the housework that I TRY to keep, but playing with my boys ALWAYS comes first!  They will not always be little but the housework will always be there. I iron everyones clothes for the week sometime during the weekend and I have learned to have extras just in case. Even though I seemed to be organized there is always a feeling of panic that I am going to forget something or someone is going to miss a bus and throw the whole schedule off. My OCD can also get out of hand with all of the last minute therapy and Dr appointment chnages. When I start to get stressed I just think of my little angels and smile.
