Daily Log

Just in case you were wondering...I thought I'd share one of my little organization/communication tools for our household, the "daily log". Wow, I didn't realize how much organization was required just to keep track of my little people once I returned to work. I was worried how'd I know what they did all day, what did they eat, when did they poop, how big was it...not that this is what I constantly wonder about with my free time, but things I was used to knowing when I was home. Things I had to know to prepare/adjust for the rest of the day. Then it hit me...make a spreadsheet, of sorts. So, a glimpse into my organization skills (and freakish computer skills). Oh, and I must give credit to Melanie too, my former project manager in her previous life, for teaching me Excel and all of its glory. You should see my timesheet/pay stubs for our nanny.

Whoa, anal much? Ha, I guess I don't know yet, because I don't have kids... maybe it's just OCD? But really, I check the litterbox for the cats, so it's probably not much different.
