Working on a Full House

Time Management and Picture

My dh took the middle 3 children to his brother's house and I'm sitting here browsing the "For Sale" ads on various homeschool message boards, reading email and catching up on the latest messages on the numerous homeschool-related yahoo groups I'm a member of but rarely make the time to post on myself. I should be cleaning up the kitchen, folding the mountain of laundry waiting on my couch, making a list of the books and supplies I have to sell on the message boards and/or ebay and getting them posted up there, etc, etc, etc. I seriously need to get some focus. I jump from one activity to the next, constantly distracted from whatever it is I should be doing. Would this be considered ADHD? If not, what is my problem? I don't know that I expect any answers or quick-fix solutions but just thought I'd share what's on my mind at this very moment. Have a safe Memorial Day weekend (although it's half over...see, I'm also a procrastinator!) ......sigh

 

I also thought I'd add a picture of the kids. This was taken in our yard for my mom for Mother's Day but the sun was shining in their eyes so there's lots of squintin'.

I call it "mommy brain". We're so used to doing and thinking about 12 things at once that it becomes harder and harder to focus on one thing when time allows. :)

So cool that you have six kids and planning more...I have six too, and who knows, maybe I'll have more someday, although that biological clock is going tick tick tick....
I love Pennsylvania, I've spent a lot of time there as all my mom's family comes from there. Were from the N.Y border part, Rome, Athens, Binghamton, etc...

I think you must be enjoying your summer, immensely so, given you haven't had any time to blog!

Have you looked up www.homeschoolblogger.com/crazybusy?
I think you'd enjoy her posts. She has lots of kids, like us, and she lives in Pennsylvania. I thought you might enjoy her blog.
