I am forced to be efficient whether I would otherwise be or not. So that's good.

I have been a procrastinator and a rationalizer for such a long time and I have been trying to break free from these bad habits and total time sinkers. Time tracking and weekly review of my progress (or lack of there of) are making me confront these habits that are so deeply rooted in me. I am making a very slow process toward becoming more of effective mommy and homemaker and toward being present in everything that I do. Thank you for your blog. I love it!Mommy of twonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-73254589217141689202011-12-06T18:22:16.626-05:002011-12-06T18:22:16.626-05:00thanks i needed to read that. would love to hear y...thanks i needed to read that. would love to hear your results:)<br />beckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-72425613170844251852011-12-06T18:09:03.928-05:002011-12-06T18:09:03.928-05:00Mrs White-

We were given sheets of paper that has spaces for every fifteen minutes and we were to write down what we were doing every fifteen minutes on our shift. It was VERY eye-opening! And I was very conscious of how valuable time was! Thank you for a wonderfully encouraging blog! Blessings to you and your beautiful family!

I really enjoy your blog and so love reading about how thinga have changed within your own self with the children leaving the home. I set and wonder myself how it will feel to have an empty nest or even just 3 or 4 children living in the home. As a mother of 9 and 8 in the house I know I have a ways to go but I know that will be reality someday before I know it.
