Working Outside the Home

Working outside the home and raising kids isn’t easy

I have been very lucky in my lifetime.  Since I had my 2nd child, I have not had to work full time outside the home.  So I might not be the best authority to write about Working outside the home.

But….I do know the challenges that I have had to go working part time outside the home.

First off – if it is what you want to be doing and you love it… All the more power to ya.

If you are doing it because you have no choice (like so many people I know) and you wish you could be at home….I sympathize with you.  It would be very hard to keep up with all the cleaning, cooking, laundry and chores of the house…along with school projects, sports, open houses at school….etc, etc, etc….

I can see how the house can become a mess…how clutter can build up faster than you can imagine….and how you can be completely over whelmed.

What is the solution?

I’m not sure of that honestly. I wish I could wave my magic organizer fairy wand and make everything easy and wonderful.

But I do know that if you are organized in your routines, where things are in your home and are disciplined to do what you need to do…when you need to do it – it would make things go much smoother.
