Time Management

This is something new I am learning with two kiddos. Now that hubby is back to work and family and friends are back to their own lives, I am on my own with two kids, a house to keep in order, and a blog. I find myself getting stressed about what I should do during the two short hours I have between nursing Isaac. I tell myself  "I need to spend time with Noah, but I need to fill the dishwasher before there are no clean dishes, and the laundry is becoming an insanely large mountain in the laundry room, and at some point today I need to blog or write that review that I need to post next week!"

I am learning to prioritize and let things go, which is hard for me, but I'm doing it. Isaac and Noah come first, no matter what. I had company over today and I was so busy with the boys before they came, I didn't have time to do anything with the house. But it just had to wait. I wanted desperately to clean it, but my boys needed me first. And then once Noah napped I used that time to rest, because let's face it, I don't get near the sleep I used to anymore. So the house had to wait.

And ya know what? It was ok. Because since I took the time to nap with the kiddos today, I felt much better afterwards and was able to spend some quality time with them, and then get most of my house straightened up! So having to learn to manage my time isn't a bad thing at all...it's just an adjustment. One I'm definitely willing to make for my sweet boys!

As far as blogging goes..well I'm learning to type and nurse...so maybe soon I'll be back to blogging on a regular basis! :)
