That is what I am going to HAVE to do with my current schedule. As a full-time working mom, it's getting difficult to balance the schedule of my 5 kids with mine. But it needs to be done. Am I complaining? I hope it doesn't sound like it. That's my life and that's how it always has been and how it will continue until they are out of the house.
Yesterday was a good example of having to make adjustments. I didn't get home from work until a quarter to 7 pm. Normally on a Monday night I catch an hour long 7pm Turbo Kick class. I got home in time to catch the class, but wanted to hit the deals since I'm back to couponing. I was contemplating whether to just catch the class and then hit the store after. Instead I decided to bag Turbo Kick and just go shopping.
It was a good idea that I did because my shopping took longer than expected. Let's just say I went coupon shopping at Walmart. Walmart and coupons in the same sentence equals problems. Well not all the time, just majority of the time. LOL. We didn't get home until 10 pm or so. I picked up some great deals, but also forgot how time consuming couponing can get.
With that in mind, I've been doing some thinking. I love working out, I love couponing...and of course I love my kids...so between all three, I need to figure out how I am going to do this. Here's my plan that I came up with -
-Hit the gym in the morning (like 5 am) on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On Tuesday night and maybe some Thursday nights, catch the Zumba classes in the evening.
-Do my coupon shopping after games or practices/or before going into work.
It's definitely a long shot because those that know me, know that I don't do mornings. But if I really want to get everything in, I'm going to have to!
On another note -- I am trying to focus on organization within my home (I will post pics of the current mess I have: storage, cabinets, my bedroom...lol...etc.) and finances. I have a few cards with balances that I would like to have paid. But that is all another post! Until then, check out this video clip put out by the church.
