How do I cope with this…?

How do I cope with all of it? It’s been a good week since I started this shenanigan and I’m tired and grumpy. My hair is not obeying me in the morning, Jack refuses to go for a walk in that despicable early morning hour and I have no idea what to put in tomorrow’s lunch box.

I have no idea how my Nonna managed to do it, how my Mamma did it, are they like freaking superwomen? Are they empowered by kryptonite? Do they have a secret recipe that I’m not aware of?  

24h in a day is just not enough…

So of course who else to call and get any consultation then my Nonna. She answers the phone and we chitchat for a while and she tells me that both her and my Nonno are great and they have nice warm weather at the moment and that helps. She asks me what have I been up to lately and I explain to her about my blog and the book I started reading and stuff like that and suddenly there is a big sigh, and she says “If I had to go back and do it all again, I don’t know if I could do it, I got used to having warm water directly from the pipe and not to mention all the household machines…” and I smiled because it was true nowadays is easier in that way.

We spent an hour on the phone and she tells me: “Enea, if you want to be successful at what you do, you need a plan, a good plan and then stick to it”. And that made me think, a plan would be a good idea so I came up with this.

On the days I work:

•  Pin curl my hair before I go to bed, that way I’ll have a nice hairstyle
• Wake up early
•  Take Mr. Jack for a walk
•  Prepare Mr. Jack’s breakfast and mine so we can eat together
•  Do my make up
•  Dress
• Take my lunch box
•  Off to work
•  On the way home get some necessary essentials
• Cook pre-planned dinner  
• Wipe the kitchen and do the dishes
•  Play with Jack
•  Shower, and all the things I need to do to be beautiful
•  Go to bed early

Days off

•   Get some beauty sleep
•   Cuddle with Mr. Jack
•  Have some nice relaxing coffee on the couch still wearing my morning robe
•  Do my make up
•   Take Jack for a walk
•   Squeeze in some gym time
•  Have a nice lunch
•  Do some housework
•  Prepare something nice for dinner
•  Possibly bake something good .
•  Once a week I go and do my weekly shopping but plan ahead what will I cook  
•  Relax while reading a nice book

Hopefully this will do!
