One of you made the comment in the show that when your kids went to school you felt like you needed to flex the muscle of planning activities and filling school time and not letting that time be frittered away. I’m glad I’m not the only one! Sometime I feel like I waste the school day and then run around like crazy when the kids get home to get everything done that I need to do. I get jittery when I have an empty morning and sometimes I don’t feel like I don’t know where to start. Since I have recognized this problem I now try to have a set schedule with my whole day planned. This works most of the time, but then I have to remember to plan a little time to do nothing and take care of myself! =)
