Care and More!

1. Carpool
Chances are, there are some neighbor kids that frantically dart
out the door at the same time you are. Each of these children
have parents, as busy as you, and most would love a break. Contact
a few of them and arrange a carpool system. Then, tote three
to four kids to school one week, and have two to three weeks
off.
2. Casserole and Crock Pot
Too busy to cook every single night after work? Make healthy
casseroles the kids will love, like macaroni and cheese, nutritious
tuna or green bean casserole. Also, use that crock pot: toss
in some healthy ingredients in the morning and go.
3. Prioritize
Can't possibly get it all done? Learn to prioritize your to do
list, putting less critical items at the end. If you can't get
to the less important items for a month or more, that's okay.
Let it go.
4. Delegate. Delegation is a
critical time management skill. Are the grandparents watching
the kids next weekend and a birthday bash just around the corner?
Ask them to do the gift shopping. Also, make sure each child
also has chores to do everyday, and that your spouse contributes
his or her fair share.
5. Be Proactive
Are things a bit slow this week? You know it never stays this
calm. So take this opportunity to get ahead. Pay bills in advance,
prepare a week's worth of meals, finish the less pressing to-do's
and basically tie up all your loose ends.
Who'd have thought one child
could add so much to one's schedule. Parenting is daunting, to
say the least. But with a little finesse, you can accomplish
it all - gracefully.
