I have been so busy being the "NEW ME"

I have been so busy lately. I have decided that I am going to start taking this stay at home mom thing seriously.
Cason and I went on a date about 2 1/2 weeks ago and had a great open hearted discussion about our life and how we are dealing with it. We both shared our frustrations and our appreciations with ourselves and each other. In this discussion I decided that I wanted to be the best wife and mother I could for my family.
I felt like our life was always rushing around and never having anything we needed. We would always get places and be missing something and my kids would have dirt under their finger nails and when we would open up the car door things would be falling out at me, I always was putting on make up on the way to places since we were always late! Life was spinning out of control!
I thought about how if I had a 9 to 5 go to work job then I would often have to do things I didn't want to do, I would have to wake up early, I wouldn't get a nap in the middle of the day, I would have to come home and find time to work out, cook dinner, and clean the house. (I really respect those of you who do this)
With this being said I asked CAson to sit down with me and write a list everything that needs to get done in our life. We wrote it and I assigned every task to a day of the week. I decided that I needed to take care of as much of it as I could since this is in all fairness my job as a stay at home mom. Its my job to run the household.
My week now looks like this.....

Monday:
-I wash all white clothing (only white loads)
-Dust and Sweep the entire house...which means I have to pick up too in order to reach the surfaces to dust them. :)
-work out
-cook supper

Tuesday:
-wash dark clothing
-take Parker to mothers day out
-grocery shop and run some errands
-get dinner started
-work out

Wednesday
-wash red clothing
-work out
- clean bathrooms...YUCK!!
-cook dinner

Thursday
-wash towels
-take Parker to mothers day out
-Run errands
-work out

Friday
-wash lights
-do anything that didn't get done in the week
-kind of my light day.
-make sure the house is semi straight for the weekend

Saturday
-Pack diaper bag for church tomorrow
-lay out everyone's clothes for church...we are always late if I don't do this the day before
-cut kids finger nails
-clean out the car

Sunday
-Church
-rest and hang out with family

I always unpack and repack the diaper bag right when I get home....this has helped us not be late. I always get dressed, put on make up, and fix my hair on Tuesday and Thursday instead of staying in my sweats and pony tail all day. (this one is for my husband).

Cason told me last week that he LOVES the new me and that he feels like our life is so much better now. This has made all of the hard work so much more worth it. My kids seem happier too. I have more time to play with Parker and he seems to enjoy the QT with me. I love it too!
In all honesty it is a lot harder than it looks on paper. I had no idea it would be as exhausting as it has been. I go to bed at night totally wiped out! But this is the kind of life that I want for my kids, husband and myself. It is very rewarding!
