I think I can hear the groans and screams already, “But I don’t have any extra time! I already work a full time job and there’s just no time in my schedule for anything else!&# Since we are all very accustomed to earning our dollars at an hourly rate, why not just increase your hours?

For myself, what didn’t get done before lunch just didn’t get done, when I was home full time. Pick your most energetic and productive time of day for household chores and you will get much more done in a given time. You will get rid of so much angst by refusing to enter into a cleaning frenzy war.

Work With What You've Got

NOVEMBER 4, 2008

To be honest, I had come to the realization just last week in a particularly productive therapy session that I did not want to do what I was doing anymore, at least not full time. I wanted to look into working on my jewelry (and maybe painting, and maybe selling vintage clothing) at least 2 days a week. Stay tuned.

My husband is an extremely hard worker as he works and goes to school full time. It was the first time we consistently told ourselves NO to purchases. No new clothes, no vacation, no extra anything. As well as me starting up my education full time and completing that. We stopped buying stuff.

So I am going to go ahead and try and go back to work full time. SOMEDAY maybe I will be able to go part-time, just not now. I enjoy my clothes too much. So I’m starting to interview. I want to approach this process as honestly as possible. I do not want to take a job where I feel I would have to change who I am.

Being a mom really is a full-time job, and being an organized mom should come with overtime pay! However, organized moms know that doing laundry weekly means there are a lot of clothes to wash during the weekend. You can also encourage your kids to organize their clothes before going to bed.

My dad was a blue-collar worker – a machine operator on the railroad who sometimes got laid off for periods of time in the winter. My mom cut coupons and sewed her own clothes and mine, as well. He says we were busy building the house and our careers and it was money well spent because it freed up our time.

Gosh time flies. I think that is pretty good with working full time and studying. How to Make Your Own Clothes. I wrote a test for my course and did good on it so that has taken some heat off. I have another test next week and then a final and the course is done. If I finish with a B I will be happy.

I use my hands WAY too much for nail polish to last more than a day, and I vastly prefer a kind of “uniform” over having to make decisions about my clothes every single morning (that sounds exhausting!). They had me, and then my mom decided to go back to school full-time and get a PhD.
