First Wives Club for Dummies

Calling all ladies, and any gents that have input. As part of my 2009 New Years Resolutions I am hoping to put together a daily/weekly "routine". I don't know if any other mom's face the same thing or not, but I know that no matter how many "responsibilities" I get to, there seem to be more that I don't. When you focus on the house, you neglect the kids.....when you focus on the kids, you get behind in the laundry. And after it all, you realize that it has been a month since you changed your sheets and it is 3:00 pm and you haven't had anything to eat yet. You get the picture. 

So...I have decided I am going to figure out a routine for each day/ week... that will allow me to get all my responsibilities done, without neglecting other areas. I will start with a list.....THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN.... A list of all things that most women have every day. I will start, and PLEASE.....add to it. Get creative ! I will update the master list as new idea's come in. Please consider things that are daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly.
