Being a mother how do you handle time management?
Not in a million years did I think being a mother was EASY!
I knew it came with challenges, sad days and good days.
Now being a mother of three children I have experienced the challenges, sad days and good days of being a MOTHER.
Some days I have to put what I want to accomplish on the back burner to care for my children. Most days I say bump this and get to work on what I need to do. Is it hard? Yes most definitely. UPDATE: Now having a six month old whose schedule is very unpredictable is my first challenge. She still sleeps a lot and if she is not sleep she is up talking baby talk or eating. I am currently breastfeeding so she eats every three hours. My second challenge is my day to day with my one year old. UPDATE: He is two weeks away from being two years old. He is into everything. He likes electronics so he thinks he can use my cell phone, iPad or computer at any time. He has the weirdest eating habits. He likes o walk around the house with no diaper. I started potty training him but I must say it’s HARD. Remember my oldest is a five years old and I promise I potty trained her within a week. He don’t like to sit on his potty. We have had some boo boos. My oldest is in school during the day but when she comes home it’s another story. She is my big helper. Despite being a kid herself she has her ways but what kid doesn’t. It’s a daily struggle but I wouldn’t change it.
Time management is currently something I am working on. We all know that little ones have their own schedules. No matter how much you plan there will be breaks in between. I am a very detailed and organized person but sometimes I can get ahead of myself and try to do too much at once. i know I’m not the only person that does that.
I find myself stuck because I am trying to figure out what is most important and should be done first.
I believe in taking charge of every single minute you can. My daily to do list has every minute accounted for. When I create my to do list I anticipate I can follow it from start to finish. Boy do I trick myself. Most days I forget I am one person. I promise having a clone would help me out so much. So much for wishful thinking. Despite it all us mothers get it all done.
I say all this to say if you are a mother who is struggling to manage your children and work hang in there. You are not alone.
