Wait, I can write about other stuff?

In one of those "Ah Ha the Light Bulb Went On" moments I realized today that this is my blog and I can do what I want with it. Genious, I know. I don't know if I've shared this here before but I actually write two blogs. This one about my adventures as a Mom and another one about living with an incurable illness. Today, I was brain storming some ways in which to make my much too hectic life a little less crazy. Mainly because yesterday when I was planning to go to the grocery store I instead had to be a Mama helping to heal trauma. That's the thing about trauma - it tends to creep up out of nowhere and steal our moments away. Can't get to the grocery store? Ridiculous. But see I worked 8:00AM-6:30 PM with a 40 minute commute. Hubby picked the kids up and I arrived home at 7:15 to help finish homework and eat dinner. Case Worker and therapists come over tomorrow so I had to straighten the house and then it was bed time and then 30 minutes later it was "get your butt into bed" time. Somewhere I managed 10 minutes to go to the bathroom and read. So I decided to google some meal plan ideas and came across all of these Mom Blogs. Wait there are Mom's who just blog? About Meal plans, crafts, and organization?? It will not help my schedule issues if my list of blogs to follow grows daily. (Ijustify that its research.) None the less I found some helpful information and as I put it to use I will write about it here. Because many of the people who read my blog are busy parents and perhaps it will help you too. I've also decided that I'm going to accomplish one small goal each day, at least. Today it was to get the grocery shopping done. So I hopped on-line and placed my first order with Pea Pod. I was pleased to discover that the prices were only slightly more expensive, I get free delivery for the first 60 days, and the on-line coupon code I found gave me an extra $15 off my order. By 7PM tomorrow my groceries will be at my door. Even better I watched The Good Wife while hanging out with my Hubby. Lots of multi-tasking! The benefit of grocery shopping from my computer? I can go check the fridge/pantry to see if we have what I was going to add. I have one more goal for the week. Go to bed 15 minutes earlier than I did the day before and get up 15 minutes earlier. This is an attempt to work in some morning work outs. I have 40 pounds I want to drop before we go on our next Disney Trip in May. You'll be hearing about this too.
