I still have the information. The leader gave us a package of information on how to organization and planning goals, etc. I obsessed about it and burned out on trying to divide my life into quadrants and so I put it all on the shelf and haven't thought about it again until now. LOL! Hey Beth,

That's the time when I've run out of gas, the kids are whiny, and I'm praying to make it to their bedtimes. My husband is a Fire fighter so he's gone for 24 hours every other day. Of course, the 24 hours he's home is wonderful because he helps out with everything, but when he's gone, my evenings are a struggle! Fortunately, my efforts into mealtime planning have definitely paid off. I've always been a menu planner, but would try and think up different menus every two weeks. That got old! I decided to put the menus on the computer and save them. I came up with four different menus which take us through two months of meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) plus made a grocery list that coordinates with each menu. Mealtime and grocery shopping have become a breeze. Every so often I will incorporate a new meal and make the adjustment to the shopping list. Whenever something I need goes on sale, I stock up on it. I do plan to make two more menus though. It seems as if we cycle through the four menus so quickly. Anyway, with two older girls who cook many of the meals AND with my menus, this area of home management has helped us tremendously! Thanks for the time management chart......I'll have to sit down and make my own list! Solus Christus, Candace sabofamdynamics.blogspot.com Bethany,

Boy, do I ever know what you mean about the 4-5pm crash! That’s the time when I’ve run out of gas, the kids are whiny, and I’m praying to make it to their bedtimes. My husband is a Fire fighter so he’s gone for 24 hours every other day. Of course, the 24 hours he’s home is wonderful because he helps out with everything, but when he’s gone, my evenings are a struggle!

It really does help me to try to stay in quadrant three as much as possible.
