With Christmas coming, it's a good idea to start eyeing your calendar now. Even without the busy-ness of the Holiday Season, there are days in the week that are more busy than others, because of sports or Scouts or church or music lessons or whatever. Wednesdays are always slam full at our house. Keep this in mind when scheduling appointments. Try to sandwich the full days in between two days that are less busy. On these days, try to work ahead a bit in homework. If you have a project coming up, and you're trying to do a little bit each day, leave that 'busy' day out of the schedule. On those frenetic days, make a conscious effort to do some studying while you drive - reviewing spelling words, history facts or multiplication tables. And finally, resist the temptation to do fast food and snacks. Throw fruit or cheese or veggies into a bag and let your kids munch on that. Make peanut butter sandwiches or do a crockpot meal when you get home.
And yes, we have weeks in our lives when every day is too busy...sometimes all we can do is hang on and try not to fall off!
