I cannot believe that the schedule at work has been so crazy and since the training is still going, I have to put long hours. It is stressful for both me, and the family and also, has been difficult to organize the time to exercise and even eat. Not eat healthy, but eat. There has been days that I had not really have a lunch hour, but  eating while working, which really creates an issue because I feel I am swallowing the food, instead of chewing and enjoying it.

But I am hoping things change soon for the better. At least for the weekend the family decided to come to Mexico. It has been relaxing and good. Yes we have had some drinks, but we have also walked a lot and eat fresh food and veggies.

Organizing my work schedule and my son schedule has been difficult too. I do not like school lunches, so I have to either make time at night, or get up even earlier to make his lunch. I hope that systems such as the refrigerator family planner and some labels like the ones from Mabel Label’s we can get more organized.

The routine in our house has changed a lot. From having a job that allowed me to work from home to having to be at the office long hours, we feel that we cannot coordinate schedules and get ready for school. I got the mommy family calendar for our refrigerator to keep everyone schedule on track and I have been using a lot of post-its to mark things. However the awesome Mabel Label’s are not only useful for school use, but also for labeling things around the house. I believe that to stay organized you have to have things written down. Put in on paper and make it happen, otherwise you can easily forget about it.
