Success Happy

How can you balance your life to get everything done when you have kids, work, study etc.?

Something always seems to get missed out or not done - housework, garden, friends, family, kids, study, good eating, exercise, prayer time, helping others, holidays, budgeting, rest, sleep................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who has THE ANSWER? That is my biggest question!

1. isn't finding the answer the meaning of life?
2. simple , real simple !!! write down a huge list of what do you have to do , what i do for college for example is i get a piece of paper and write on it all the subjects i have and then write any assignments i need to do for every subject with the due date next to it. you get the point
3. pick the things most important to you and trash the rest....if your passion is gardening, then great,.....if not, who cares if you have pretty flowers in the yard....you have happy loving kids instead....life is too short and stressful to be spending it doing things you truly don't want/hate to do.....do the necessary things and get the rest out of your life.
4. I don't have the answer, you do the best you can and try and keep happy. This is a temporary situation that may last a few years. Please don't get discouraged, they are good times in here as well. Priceless moments that you cherish forever.
5. Sort out your priorities. Kids come first. They need you. then come family and house work. Let other things come as they may.
6. This is when family comes in handy. If you can't get a family member to move in and help, think about a maid.
7. You are the only one who can truly answer this for you. Which of the aforementioned items can you truly give up or start saying no to for the sake of you kids, your exercise, your prayer time and good eating. Can your hubby help with the garden, housework and playtime with the kids. Some of those things you simply must say no to!! You have a command to raise your kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and they are one of your priorities. And you need your prayer time with the Lord in order to keep you sanity! Think about it, little sister!!Big hugs to you and yours, menome b (Gramma)
