Schedules

I'm one for getting things done, and when they don't get done I get so stressed (not) I have gotten better with arranging my schedule.
I remember when I just had three blessings I was the queen of organization, every thing was in it's rightful place, then number 4,5,6 and then oh so #7. The stress hit the roof, I nurse them all, so when you talk about sleep forget about it, I think was was running on adrenaline for all 7. I thank God I had the energy and the love to care for them.
So back to my schedules I have to do thing in a order that helps me get through the day.

1. I wake up at 5:00 a.m. some morning its at 4:25 a.m. I think my body is still on nursing mode, cause at times I still wake up every two to three hours
2. Hour of Prayer
3. Read my two scriptures for the day, Proverbs 3:5,6 and Philippians 4:13
4. Check on oldest daughter to see if she needs help with any thing
5. Go to work on my schedule
