I am beginning to think if God had wanted me to be organized He would have created me with a Palm Pilot attached to my body somewhere. Of course, then He would have also made one of my fingers the pokey stick thing you use to type on them since I would obviously lose that really quickly, too!

I sat for a few hours yesterday trying to make sense of my 2 on-the-radar kids' school work for this year. My Kindergartener does not yet have to comply in PA, so we don't stress over that stuff. However, the two older ones DO have to show some stuff at the end of the year and I was struggling yesterday to find all of those little piles of paper that I stick in strange places when I need to clean off the kitchen/homeschool table in a hurry. I think I am close though because my big expandable file is bulging with our first semester coming to a close.

How do other "born organized" types do it? We are in such a cramped space that I feel like I am constantly fighting piles of stuff even after a whole year of moving things around and trying to make the space work for us!

I am thinking maybe we need a curriculum change. I like the IDEA of Konos... but in reality, by the time the afternoon hits, I am just too tired of being the teacher to actually have to begin a whole new big activity... so we wind up not doing anything which means all my kids are getting right now is the three R's. I would like something complete... but dont want to spend a billion dollars on the satelite BJU and stuff like that. Any tips?
