Much like Emma Woodhouse in Jane Austen's "Emma", I love to make plans. I don't always follow them, but I sure do enjoy making them. Schedules and routines are some of my favorite plans to make and what better way is there of finding new schedule ideas than peeking into the schedules of four moms with a total of thirty-five kids.
The moms linked below have kindly offered a view into their lives and detailed their daily schedules:
I suddenly feel a planning yen coming on.
Last Friday, I ended up at the local Target with my daughter and my Father-in-Law. Not a normal shopping experience for me, but FIL needed to buy a baby shower gift and daughter and I were along to help. Daughter and I basically picked the whole purchase out, but we didn't mind. We even had a bit of fun.
Anyway, as FIL was getting his bearings, I flitted like a nesting bird with ADD over to the Dollar section. Is there shiny? What is that pretty thing over there?
I spotted something, loved it, put it in my basket, and then took it out again. With the temorary mental powers of Einstein, I realized that this item must come home with me - for the betterment of mankind.
So, what was it?
This.
Isn't it lovely? Yes, I bought four TV trays and I am just a wee bit in love with them. I might even be planning an elopement soon.
Sturdy with a nice lip around the edge and only $2.50 each.
We watch a lot of TV together in the Family Room while we eat (oh, shame upon me) and these are very helpful.
They remind of school trays, but so much better. If my school trays had looked like these, I might not have minded the mystery meat so much.
