I'm one of those people who is pretty strict about routine and organization. My husband and son laugh at me some times and tell me I need to relax. But I know these routines are important and this morning I actually got a chance to show how being organized makes our lives run more smoothly. I almost always wake up before the alarm goes off. So this morning I woke up thinking it felt a lot later than 6:00. I looked a the clock and it was 7:23. Ugh!!! I couldn't believe we had overslept, but we had. My son is supposed to be on the school bus at 7:15 and I am supposed to be at work (which is 45+ minutes away) by 8:30. After waking my son and husband up, I headed downstairs to "fix" coffee, breakfast and lunches. The coffee was ready to go - just a push of a button and it started brewing. Lunches had been packed last night so I stuck one in my son's back pack and put mine by my purse. For my son's breakfast I took a frozen muffin out and stuck it in the microwave. By the time they were dressed and walking out the door for my husband to take my son to school, I handed each of them a travel mug of coffee and blueberry muffins for the ride. I know if I had not taken the time last night to set everything up we would not have been able to get out the door on time. Having a place for everything and having everything in it's place sounds like a lot of work but this morning it was a lifesaver.
