New Years Resolutions

So after having a few days to let the new year sink in, I have focused my attention on things I need to improve in my life. There are several things that keep popping up in my mind. The first and foremost is organizing my life. I feel that my life has been a bit unorganized ever since I had my 3rd child. Our lives revolve around our kids activities which make simple things having dinner very difficult.  My time is limited now a days so I have to come up with a more organized way to spend my evenings.  I am booked from 5-7 with either, gymnastics, soccer, piano or karate classes.  I have no time to make dinner so I have had to come up with a better plan to make each weeknight more organized. So what have I done? Basically, I made a weekly menu. Each day has a specific theme and the kids get to choose what they want to eat each day. This will hopefully make I easier to plan food for us and get us on a routine. We will see how it works. I figure that if on Sunday I know what we are eating the rest of the week, Robert and I can even make a few of the meals prior to the day and just pop them in the oven.  Hopefully it can work and we can start having some more decent meals.  The second thing that I need to work on this year is figuring out child care & school pick-ups. Now that my dad is getting older and less able to care for himself, my mom needs to be home more for him. I need to figure out how to make that happen. Karina will be starting preschool in the fall so that will be very helpful. I have a few month to figure this one out. Wish me luck.
