I have been trying and trying to get my life  organized.  I have been searching for planner that would fit my life and my needs.  I haven't found one.  I got pretty close yesterday but I didn't feel up to spending $24.00 for it.  Not that $24 is a lot of money, its just that I love planners, buy them and then use them for a  very little while and then want another.  So, I am determined to spend money wisely.  Its a start.

A few weeks ago our local library was having a book sale.  I went in to see what they had to offer and within the boxes and boxes of books I found an old monthly planner.  Just had a few months used up so I added it to my purchase.  At first the ladies were confused until I explained that it was among the books.  One lady asked a dime for it.  I was more than willing to pay that..= ) but the other lady told her to just give it to me.  I was happy to do that too.

So after yesterday, I decided to use that for now.  I had also purchased a journal with the wording in front saying "In the lord I trust."  I decided to use that too.  In one I can put the appointments etc and in the other I can fill in my daily activities.

With my new calling, I feel that I need to be organized because I have lots of responsibilities (as soon as they tell me what they are) plus with home chores, and homeschooling..I really have to get organized and stay organized.

I am revisiting a household notebook.  I had one before but I let it get out of control.  I am  going to try again.

Some of my sections will include:

A calender

Homeschool

address/phone numbers

school (for those I don't homeschool)

Young womans/church

spiritual

Chores

Menus

thats a start for that too.

I am also doing Managers of their Chores and so far its working well.  I am very excited to have purchased it.  I hope I continue having success.  My house is already looking better. 

I will speak more on that later as we get used to it.

I am really trying to get my life organized and trying hard to "get over" the emotional turmoil I have been going through. 

I never realized that I could be such a bitter person when it came to adoption.  I never was, until I found my mother.

I don't know why that is. I have a long way to go.

I think I am getting better..but I will admit I have lots of anger still..I can't seem to relate everything through adoptee eyes..everything...

But, I am trying, and little by little I will overcome this.
