Time Management

What a couple of weeks we have had! I am mentally drained. I have organised two parties. One a baby shower which went quite well if I say so, the other a birthday party for my dear hubby who turned 35. It was a farewell of sorts, to our home here as well. We let our hair down and opened up the liquor cabinet. It was fun. Although we always pay for our fun the next day, ouch! On top of all that we have been negotiating our new home as well. I only get 1 1/2 hours a day when the kids are napping to sit at the computer and gather information. It's hard to tell what is accurate information out there on the net, so I always take everything with a grain of salt. ( what does that mean exactly?)
I haven't even had time to sit and do my cleanse this week, I am disappointed in myself for being slack about it. It is a peeve of mine that I say to myself "tomorrow I start eating good, or exercising more or get back into my meditation......" and I don't come through for myself.
That is definitely something I need to work on, lol, tomorrow I will finish what I start. LOL!
I think I will take the phone of the hook, turn off the mobile (ah heaven forbid) and sit down, take 5 Min's to meditate and 20Min's to write. No interruptions. Lets see if that works?

I realise I am the one that fills up my day with "things to do". Honestly is it really that important to check Facebook 8 times a day? Or vacuum the floor everyday? Or go to the shops for some grocery item I don't really need? Wouldn't it be more important to actually sit down and make activity time with the kids? I don't do that anymore, for some reason I have found more "important" things to do with my time than educate and play with my children. How sad. I mean we do have play time but it isn't for long, usually 10 Min's here and there, but nothing really substantial.
If I can't make time for myself once a day and I am not making time for my kids at least once a day, what on earth am I doing? What is taking up 15 hours of everyday?

As I read this back to myself I am determined now to draw up a timetable for my week and look at how I am honestly managing my time, and what room there is for much needed improvement. Its sounds like I am managing myself like I used to when I worked full time, but I feel that that is the best way for me to function. To have a list, a routine, to check back on now and then to make sure I am on track and I am not filling my days back up with menial tasks and time wasting habits.

If I continue to Blog consistently this week you will know I am back on track!
