I’m checking out Real Simple’s online article with said title…

Some things I like – Do work at home; do home at work. There are a number of things that have to get done and if you are lucky you can switch up a few. I hope my boss isn’t reading this but I do take advantage of lunch or downtime to handle a few important things – paying bills, making some calls, etc. And the flip side is that when I’m home I’ll jump online and make that pdf or answer emails from work. Of course, this is only while icarly is on and the kids don’t care what I’m doing (but I do love that show!)

BIG ONE!! BIG ONE!! Getting out the door in the morning (without anyone in tears) is the only thing you have to achieve before 8:30 a.m.

I mess this up all the time. I’ll try to get a jump on laundry or get involved in something and we all lose. I leave the house with wet hair, we are all crying b/c of the fight we’ve just had. We forget to brush our teeth. It’s a total disastrous start to the day and it happens about… every other day. Take my own advice!!
