Plenty of sleep, exercise, light and positive thinking help me make it through these months. I look forward to reading more from you in 2013.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-44153069584835180272012-12-31T14:24:49.536-06:002012-12-31T14:24:49.536-06:00@Bernice:
If you go to the homemaker's mentor...@Bernice:<br /><br />If you go to the homemaker's mentor website that I referred to in the post, they have the lessons on sale very cheap until tonight at midnight. These were downloadable lessons that came with a yearly membership. Now they have changed the way they are doing some things and I have no idea what to expect in 2013. I just subscribed for 3 years (2008 through 2010) and was given the subscription as a gift. All of the lessons were downloaded as pdf files to my computer. I will be posting how I am coming along on them. <br /><br />As to my planner, I look at my monthly calendar insert in my planner to see when I have some chunks of time where I don't have a lot going on. Then I plan projects for those days or week. I really look at those possible days of getting a lot done and am very realistic. If I think it will only take one or two days, I make sure that I have an extra day just in case. <br /><br />When you are planning projects, be realistic about your time and add in time for interruptions. <br /><br />I will post either tonight or tomorrow about the new planner I am using for 2013. It is more geared to the stay at home woman.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943812281623696381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-80619352335386615392012-12-31T12:51:42.943-06:002012-12-31T12:51:42.943-06:00Hi Martha

And a while back you said that you sit down at your planner and "plan" when you are going to do the big projects.my planner has birthdates, and Dr appointments, how do you plan for the big stuff and do you stick to that week that you have planned for.I have a long long list of stuff that I want and need to do, and would love any advice.<br />Many hugs and prayers as you say goodby to your dear dog, it is hard we have been down that road.<br />Happy New Year:)Bernicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792963039328467845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-60549469128649007512012-12-31T05:21:03.381-06:002012-12-31T05:21:03.381-06:00Good luck to you in your quest.

Love following you and missed you.

They become such a part of our family that it is hard to see them reach the end of their life. I am sure she has loved being part of your family too. I personally believe that it is a kindness to them to not let them suffer unnecessarily although that makes us sad. I look forward to your sharing of your homemaking adventures in 2013.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.com
