Bringing order to the chaos
My friend Deb signs her emails with Director of Almost Everything. As a mom not only can I relate, but I wish I had thought of it first. I think every mom, stay at home or working, has felt this way. I myself struggle with all the job titles I hold, chauffeur, laundress, cook, book keeper, general contractor, and the list goes on.
As the owner of a large fixer upper, with an enormous yard, I find the to-do list to be even more overwhelming. Somehow hiring a builder, painter or hardwood floor installer involves endless amounts of supervision and decision making. Yet the hardest part of managing our household is not the contractors, or the newer ending tasks- it’s the paperwork. I just can’t seem to get anything filed instead my papers pile up in my office. I am sure Darcy is chuckling as she reads this, she has seen the chaos. Of course my lack of filing ability wouldn’t be such a problem if I didn’t need to access them on a regular basis. I find myself wasting time looking for our remodeler’s phone number every time I need to contact him. Luckily, I discovered Hometrax a new site designed to help me organize these details in one place where I can access them easily.
