Theme for the Year

I have spent quite a bit of the summer contemplating how I was going to make this school year better. By better I mean- less chaotic, a house that was clean more often than it was messy, less feeling like I'm running a marathon every single day, children that are more independent and more responsible, free time spent more wisely. It is a big goal. It is one that we are accomplishing and I'm pretty excited about it. ONLY for my own records and not to brag, because I am sure plenty of other families have figured this out many moons ago (I am not, by nature, a very organized individual) I am laying out what we are doing. 1. I gave a special family home evening introducing our family theme for this year- If there is a job worth doing it is worth doing well . Start the job - don't put it off Finish the job - see it through to the end (lid back on the toothpaste, pencil sharpener and shavings thrown away, etc...). 2. On days I am not running early I am waking up at 6 instead...
