Time management has been really difficult for me this year. I am a mother of 3 children. I have a 9-year old boy, a 11-year old boy, and a 13-year old girl. I have a husband that travels, which means I am a single mother a lot of the time. My children are very involved in athletics, which means I am the typical “American Minivan Carpool Mom”. There is not an evening that we have less than 2 activities, and some evenings we have 5 events to get to. In there we have to fit in dinner, homework, practicing piano, and studying. Every night I check my kids’ math homework to make sure they are understanding the concepts being taught in the classroom. If there are errors, I have them go back and find and fix the errors. After all of my mother, wife, house, shopping, carpooling, and bedtime responsibilities are done every night, I sit down to do my grading and planning. I do my school work from 8:00pm to 11:30pm, which puts my typical bedtime between 11:30pm and 12:00am. By Friday night I am exhausted. I have to figure out a way find a more reasonable bedtime. My goal next year is to find a better time management plan. This is my 3rd year of doing this, and I will be burned out very soon at this rate.
