An Organized Chaos

So I always considered myself to be a very organized person until I had a baby. I admit that mommy brain has set in and I have been known to forget something important (like fresh socks for vacation) that I never found myself doing before. Add to that the fact that at any given time I have about 52 things on my mind and there are days that I have to stop and think about what I did. I swear I never used to be somebody who didn't know what end is up, but I do pack a lot in so it's all quite justified I would argue.

I think that when you become a mom you have to learn to organize, adapt, and stay on task as quickly as things change. Whether it's remembering that you need diapers and paper towel, or just that you need to give your little one vitamins--it can all total up to a whole lot of miscellaneous information in your head. It comes with the territory of being a mom and a good one at that! I think that for the most part I stay on task but occassionally something falls off the radar. Keep in mind that I am also trying to remember the deadlines for the jobs that I have going and what I'm waiting to hear from in terms of the work that I'm hoping to get. It can be overwhelming but so worth it when I successfully complete a task. I'm that person that thrives off of organization, and I love "to do lists". I make lists for just about everything and my idea of relaxing is to sit down at night with a pen and paper and create an old school list. This weird passion has been very helpful in being a good mom and also running a busy business.

Sure I don't remember every little thing and I am very lucky in that I get some WONDERFUL help from my mother and my husband, but all in all I think that I do okay. I hope to instill these skills in Faith and that they keep getting sharper as I move forward as a mother and a business owner. Time will tell but for now, onto the next "to do list"!
