Thank you for the advice. I think you are right I need to focus on one thing b/c like you side I feel like I’m doing a billion things but nothing is getting done. Sounds like you are CRAZY BUSY. Wishing you the best as you complete your degree! You sound like one heck of a woman! ((hugs))

WOw…you’re doing amazing.
I feel for you. I’m currently doing my MSc while working full time and it’s INSANE! I just keep slogging along and keep things as simple as I can. I make priorities for what matter (my husband, exercise, good food, endless homework…) and try and keep up with the rest. I found it helps ot tackle one thing and one thing only at a time….cuz really, when there’s a zillion things to do, every where you look you can get distracted on something else…and end up doing nothing much. IT wasn’t obvious to me at first and I nearly went crazy until I figured that out…for me it helps knowing at the end of the day I can tick a thing or 2 off my list…well most days anyways! That and making muffins. Muffins make everything better
Good luck

Oh my goodness, you are doing so awesome! Change, especially to this extent, is so testing and you and the family are doing great.

For me, I take organizing piece by piece. I start in a corner of a room and make my way around. Things that don’t belong get moved to the next area until they meet their correct home or land in the donate or trash pile.

The big picture can sometimes overwhelm me, so breaking big projects into little pieces, or in this case little sections, helps me tackle the big project on my hands.

Hang in there! And congrats on completing the house renovations for the new family!

That is AWESOME! It had to feel so.good. to beat those girls after months of worry! Way to go!

Be gentle on yourself with the organizing. These things can take time. You have a lot on your plate. Be good to you!

Thank you, Andrea. I’m totally using your advice and making lists. Now if I could just stick with it.

I actually do have some advice when looking for a taekwondo studio. I’ve gotten that question a few times so I think I’ll write a post about it. I’ll try to get that up in a few days. I hope it will be helpful. (((hugs)))

Thanks Katie. I am hoping by the end of the week I’m feeling more like myself again!! At least only half my living room floor is covered in boxes. ((hugs))
