Question for the group

Okay-so this question assumes that people are actually reading my blog. I don't know if any one is or not-this post will probably prove that no one is. I have a question. How do you keep yourself and your family organized? Right now I have a wipe off calendar, pocket calendar, work schedule, etc-I try to keep writing everything on the wipe off calendar but there isn't enough room & it doesn't have Dan's stuff and I forget to write things like pack Noah a lunch for the field trip to the zoo. Arghh.....any ideas? I do realize that this is actually the easiest time in my kid's life (planning wise) because they don't get to go anywhere or be involved in anything without my knowing it. IF ONLY I could convince Dan that he needs my blessing before he does anything. Hmmm...does anyone note the control issues!?! Oh yeah-they are there baby, they are there! But they are so subtle-it's hard to miss. Ha, Ha-I crack myself up.

    So, you're a closet control freak, eh? I would never have guessed.

    I have a day timer I carry in my back pocket, a schedule in MS Outlook on my work computer. Michele has a Groupwise Schedule, a pocket calendar. We have a hanging calendar by the back door we both try to update from our respective calendars.

    I also use lists extensively for projects/purchases, etc. It helps when one finally gets into a steady routine, which I'm sure is difficult while your family is in a bit of an adjustment period anyway.

    There are probably some cheap downloadable scheduling software packages available online that might give you the ability to put together a daily schedule you could print off each morning, complete with reminders and chore lists.

    If not, maybe we should start a personal assistant/scheduling website.

    ok- I'm super unorganized but I have a three ring binder with a tab for each of the kids. I punch holes and put all of their important papers in it!! I keep a monthly calendar and on Sunday nights I update our weekly dry erase calendar. Did I just give you advice about organization?

    The truth is that I sent Rebekah to school today with Fruit Loops for lunch and I just remembered that I have a bible school meeting at 3:30.

    Its so just so tough to stay on top of it all. I bet you do a great job 90% of the time. Hang in there, Kelly Marie! Wish we could help eachother.
