Confessions of a so-so planner (and What's For Dinner)

I am not organized!  This will more than likely surprise any of my co-workers who read this because at work I am ridiculously organized.  I plan my lessons out weeks (if not months!) in advance much to the chagrin of the members of my course team who are not so crazy anal um...organized.  At work, I always know what comes next....   

 But at home it's anyone's guess!!

I work to come up with plans and strategies to improve this.  I make lists, lay out clothes for the next day, put A's clothes in the drawers in outfits so I don't forget what goes with what, get containers for items so they have a place and but just about every organization tool or book I see, but nothing seems to work!  I have come to realize that I may just need to accept the chaos that surrounds me as a byproduct of being a full-time teacher momma!

Now for the confession...I kind of don't care that my house is a mess or that I don't always know where everything is.  I would rather spend my time playing with A, reading him a book or just sitting on the couch watching a movie with little A (confession #2, my child watches tv), I am on a roll with these confessions today haha!  Little A and I have a system that works for us and we are rocking it!  I have come to realize that there are a lot more important things in life than always knowing what comes next...just don't ask me to stop planning at work :)
