How I do it All....well some of it anyway!

My friend Andrea asked..."how do you do it all, do you wear a cape?" Actually it's Winslow who wears the cape. We call him Superman. I do a lot, but he is a huge support. He helps get kids ready everymorning, he puts away the food after dinner. And he does countless tasks for me. So tips on how to get it "all" done.

• Make a dinner menu--be realisitic though, one night for dinner we are having corndogs!!!
• Simplify-- I finally broke down a while ago and threw away, yes in the garbage, half of my girls toys. Now it's easier for them to clean up their own stuff!
• Lets face it, I am always behind on laundry and I hate putting it away...so a lot of the time I ignore it!
• My kids have chores and rewards. they get icecream if their chores are done, helps me a ton.
• Delegate...if someone else is willing, let them do it!
• Time out for me--I love going to the park on my lunchbreak once a week with all my mommy friends and their kids. Makes me feel like I am still connected to all my friends.
• I come home on my lunch break a lot and start dinner
• Rhodes Rolls
• I cook most of my meat when I get it home from the store. Put it in quart freezer bags and then its ready to go for a meal....don't have to spend all that time cooking it when it's dinner time!
• PRAY A LOT!!!
• Relax

PS Andrea I really felt for you and my sister (who has twin 3 year olds and a 1 year old) this Sunday. We watched my friends kids so she could take a sick kid to the dr. So we added an 8 year old and another 1 year old to our crew. Things actually went really well. Winslow took David and I took the other baby, and the rest of our kids behaved themselves. But I just kept thinking. This isn't bad....but there's no way I could have done this with two infants!!!! I don't know how you guys did it. YOU WEAR THE CAPE GIRLFRIEND!!!
