Sunday night...

Sunday night and the weekend is almost done. I am sad because I do love to sleep in. However part of me is relieved because I feel like I have fallen behind in my work and once the kids are back at school I can start playing catchup. Sigh, isn't that sad. I love my kids and I love spending time with them. I just hate feeling torn between the time spent with them and the overwhelming pile of paper that needs to be attended to. Every once in a while I get overwhelmed and then I flip out a little and then spend a Saturday night playing catch up. (I know, I know I really have a life!!!)The sad part is it actually does make me feel better. I can look around my desk and breathe again. The piles are gone and so is the frustration. The last 2 weeks have really been quite insane. I kind of feel like I need this Monday to come so we can all try to get back into a routine. I wonder where my kids get their need for a routine, regular pace! All that being said I still wish the alarm could wait until 8:00 to go off not 6:30. happy Sunday night everyone.

is your living room a gym?

Is your living room a gym too?

I often ponder whether my children are the only ones who use the living room as a gym? Apparently our couches are the perfect design for climbing, jumping and cartwheeling onto & off of. Now I am an advocate of physical fitness like anyone but really my living room? I have asked, begged and threatened hundreds of times. Now I am serious. I finally put my foot down. In the midst of the ongoing chaos our living/dining room has become a kitchen, homework zone, tv room, storage room and it is still the one room that feelslike a grown up space (pre-chaos). Is it wrong to want one room for adult conversation? So i finally used the ultimate tool. I warned both monkey monsters (or children) that the next time the room is used for gymanastics they lose computer/ds/wii/tv time. Well I think that might have scared them. We shall see but in the meantime maybe my all purpose room will be used for one less purpose. And if all else fails you may hear my shrieking across town!

What you may ask does this have to do with My Concierge Plus? Nothing except it is yet another aspect of being a mom, worker bee and homemaker. While trying to juggle it all, their use of the living room as a gym tips the balance of the scale so that the balls come tumbling down and I just want to tear my hair out.

So if your monkeys are driving you crazy and your scale is being tipped - fear not you are not alone!

However one thing you can do is give My Concierge Plus your to-do list and we can take care of some of that stress.
