A major struggle for me is to keep myself and my family organized. I seem to have a terrible memory and have to write EVERYTHING down in order to remember anything. I have been diligent about keeping a calendar with all of our appointments, social events, and the like. E adds his information to it, too. I also depend on routine because that means that I don’t have to think about quite so many things. I seem to run on autopilot, which makes me more efficient with the mundane things that need to get done when you are living as a mom.

I am still running into trouble when there is a change in the schedule, though. This is particularly troublesome with our Occupational Therapy appointments. The schedule has changed with the holidays, and now I have missed two appointments. Technically that means that we should lose our slot, but the office manager showed me grace and allowed us to keep our space. Since it took 6 months to get into this OT facility for C4’s SI therapy, I cannot afford to lose our space!

I am appealing to all of those organized and seasoned moms. How do you keep it all together? I am barely keeping my head in the game, and when life throws me a curve ball, I get lost. I would love advice on how to be more organized.
