Supermom? I am NOT! Organized? Nope, Not Me.

I posted on Facebook about how I was getting our homeschool in order. I posted about having printed a few planning forms, and that now I needed to fill them out. Well, someone though that meant I was organized. HA! My work area looks like a bomb hit it. Seriously, it does, though I do know what is in each pile, there still must be a better way. But, I have ADHD tendencies—that is why I have six children, I just blend in and no one notices. Or that is what I tell myself, and please don’t burst my bubble.

What was I writing about? Oh, yes, my work area is a mess, I am not supermom nor am I organized. Want to see?

See, that is not organization. That is not the appearance a supermom would allow you to see. Hey, I am just keeping it real, because well, I want someone else to tell me that they aren’t perfect either. Want to know about those piles? Well, one pile is homeschool curriculum that only has about three weeks of lessons left to finish the book, one pile is new stuff just bought, one pile is homeschool record books—I have two, one for daily records, and one for yearly, that the daily/weekly stuff going into around monthly. One pile is games I want to teach my children, one pile is file folder games that need Velcro applied, one pile is the speakers that I switch out from computer to computer as needed, that are not hooked up to either at this time. One pile is my husband’s laundry that I should have put away, one pile is notes I took at the homeschool convention. Another pile is a few toys that need minor repairs. Yep, this is organized chaos, a result of my ADHD tendency, and a fact that hits me in the face that says “Hey you don’t have it all together, and you best alert your readers to it now.” So, there you have it. My work area, that is planned to be taken care of by Monday morning.

How did this get to look like this? Well, I am the mom to six children who tends to be a bit ADHD, who also has a farmer for a husband, who didn’t get home til nearly 3 am two nights in a row, who went to a homeschool convention, who needs to make room on the shelves for those purchases, who had a goal to complete a couple of projects, but had to weed the garden that was neglected, who God called to put together a Bible Study Group called Holy Housewives, who forgot that there was going to be other plans made for her, but will not allow them to push her plans on the back burner, so she leaves it all out as a reminder that there is no time to sit and read a fiction book, or sew, or play with the design on her blog until she is around 80. Yep, God showed me that He has a plan, and that my plans will wait until I finish what He has asked me to do for now. My plans will sit there as motivation to complete His will. Did I mention that I had two sick children during all this. Our baby Hannah was sick for the better part of a week. So, want to show me, that you aren’t supermom? Am I alone? Oh, please don’t burst my bubble.
