Summer officially starts this week and I still am not entirely prepared for the months ahead. I have found that having a plan is really the best defense, so I am going to continue my weekly Monday Motivation post along with Wendy at eMoms at Home.

My kids and I talked last night about how Mom can not do all the chores alone and we came up with a plan. Each day there are three jobs that have to be done – empty the dishwasher, empty all trash cans and collect dirty laundry, and swish and wipedown the main bathroom. Each week one of three kids will be assigned one of the jobs. They will rotate each week. Even if they can help with these three tasks, it really helps me out.

Now, this week I need to:

• Finish invoicing clients
• Update client sites
• Get all my info into QuickBooks
• Exercise each day

If I can’t make consistent progress in all areas I will have to ground myself from blogging and even miss Liz’s Open Comment Night.

What is on your to-do list this week? Share it at your site (you can use Wendy’s cool graphic) or leave it in the comments.
