Trying to get organized...Oy Vey!!!

Being a woman with ADHD and  mom of 4 kids under the age of 10 has it's challenges to say the least!!!  But then to have a daughter with ADHD makes things even harder.  I have a really hard time keeping things organized but for my beautiful daughter that not just yearns for it but NEEDS it.  SO I am on a mission to get the house, our lives and schedules organized. Can I take a moment and express how this makes me feel... AAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH!!  Okay I can not express how overwhelming this is for me.  But I know with Heavenly Father I can do this!!!  So here is my plan

  • Have a white board that will have a calendar, a daily schedule, hooks for chore cards, keys and daily necessities.
  • Make chore cards for each child with morning routines, night time routines and their specific room and how to clean that room.
  • Figure out what daily routine will work for the kids and I.  And how to incorporate daddy's crazy work schedule into it all.
  • Make a list of a room a week to organize. 
  • Research Recipes that keep in our budget :)  Preferably crock pot or make ahead meals that are about $5 a meal.
  • Research ways to do chores efficiently.
And those are just the start...phew... but I pray that next year this time our house will be much calmer and run smoother :)

Grading Chart

Here is my latest creation for this years homeschool binder.  I couldn't find a grading chart that included all the grading areas I wanted to cover so I made my own.  I hope this fills a need for someone else.  Enjoy :)
