Confessions of a not so Supermom!

I am sure most of you have figured this out already. I am not a supermom!

In my life it seems that if I get one thing right, something else is going to fall away.
For example, this week I focused on schoolwork, the garden, and healthy meals. The consequence of this plan was that my house fell apart. For those of you who know me, I am not talking about a few dirty dishes left in the sink. I’m talking total disaster! I don’t think there is a room in the house that comes close to meeting my usual standards. In fact this morning I thought to myself, our house actually looks like one of the houses you see on television where it is so bad they have someone come in and sort through all their junk and have a yard sale or something. Since I am home from church today with another sick kid apparently the sickness has not left the house, I am going to make a list of everything I need to do this week. And then attack!

Here is the list- if you get bored or overwhelmed reading it you can read this post and then vote for me in the Spring Photo Contest.
