I pay close attention to what I write here because I do not want it to become a bitch blog. You know, where I just get on here and write about how all this working mother stuff is sooo hard. Because really, it’s not. I mean, yes, I feel like I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off most of the time. And yes, I wish I had more time, money, peace and quiet-you know the drill. But hard? No. Because all my problems are really the good kind.
Everyone is healthy. We have jobs. We have a roof over our head and for the most part, we get through the days unscathed.
My only real wish is that I had myself more together. All the girl crushes on this blog are inspired by women I watch and think, how does she do it? They look great. They’re smiling and they’re usually conquering their own little part of the world with or without major life obstacles.
I am usually smiling but the looking good and conquering part usually fall down a bit.

In 2010 I am ready to do all three-look good, conquer my little part of the world and smile. It seems the smiling will just follow the other two. Don’t you think?
Here’s the rub-how do I do it? I need a serious makeover in the time management/organization department. I need a system to keep myself together that I can actually handle. Because if the system is too intricate or involves too many steps, I won’t keep it up and then the disorganization reaches a peak that sends me right to the couch to watch kids shows with the Circus.
I am going to investigate today.I’ll wander the calendar aisle at my area Staples and then I’ll troll the internet for advice.
I’ll keep you posted on what I find-if my new time management system allows.;)
