My whole life I have loved organization. I just think it makes life so much less stressful. I was voted most organized in my senior class. I was always very organized in school and that came in very handy when I started college with a child. When I started college my planner became my bible. At the beginning of each semester I wrote every assignment for the whole semester down and all of their due dates. I had each class color coded by using different colored pens for each class. That way I could plan everything out. Not only am I organized, I am also a planner. Once I finished an assignment I would cross it off. I learned that procrastination is not the way to go. It felt so much better to get all of my assignments done right away so I could relax for the rest of the week instead of stressing about school. Now that I am done with school I still use a planner to stay organized. I write down all of the days Mason will be at his dads for the whole year. I just got done filling out the calendar for the year 2015. It makes it so much easier when people ask me if I have Mason on a future date. I also use it to write down doctor appointments for Mason. I just ordered a 2015 agenda planner off of http://www.maydesigns.com/ They are 30% off right now! You can design your own and personalize it. They have so many cute designs it makes it hard to choose. You can choose anything from a calendar to a budget journal or an exercise journal. Pictured below is the outside of the planner I designed.
Co-parenting.....oh the joys! This has been a hot topic on my Facebook newsfeed lately. I think anyone that has to co-parent doesn't enjoy it. It can be very difficult and a huge struggle. Some people are great at it and I envy those people. Some people wish they could parent alone instead of having to co-parent and I have been right there with you. Over the past almost five years my co-parenting style has definitely evolved. Right now it is somewhat non-existent and that is just the way I like it. I have decided that Mason's father can choose how much involvement he wants in Mason's life but I am not going to go out of my way to force it on him. The door is always open to call Mason whenever he wants and to come to Mason's activities. Even though that door is open.....he rarely uses it. I inform him of the things that I am legally required to notify him about and he will text me randomly every once in awhile to see how Maso...
