Looking Forward

Now that Christmas is past--now I have time for reflection and action. I've been thinking a lot about my resolutions. Getting organised and having a clean house is of course on the top of my list--just like it is every year. But this year it's doubly important. One I officially start homeschooling Micci (since this fall he's of the age to go to Kindergarden.) and two as my memory gets worse and worse, I need to be fiercely organised to help me keep track of things. No joke, I asked Jamey three times in 5 minutes, as we were wrapping Christmas presents, which present Lorelei was giving Micci. I would have asked a 4th time but stopped myself just in time, because I remembered that I had already asked that very same question already...but I still didn't quite remember and had to think HARD which present it was. I put something down and seconds later I forget where I put it.

Before any of you guys give me all your ideas, I already have a system in place--I just need to implement it. I got my notebook and room of the day and everyday chores planned and written out. I just need to follow through and give myself a routine. I think I may even have to go OCD about it--like a blind person relying on their system to get around.

As for homeschooling--I do intend to have a more relaxed approach and watch Micci closely to determiine what style of teaching works for him. He already started on his ABCs and writing and he already knows his numbers and can count to 102 and is now beeginnign his addition. We got some neat education tools for Christmas this year and both kids can count pretty good to 10 in Spanish.

Mainly getting organised and uncluttered will make me a happier and better Mommy instead of the ferocious FEP monster.
