Losing my mind

I used to think I was semi-organized. Not so much my house, but my brain. I used to not need to have a calendar of any sort to keep me on track. I could grocery shop and have food to make multiple meals without giving it much though. Regardless of how cluttered my house would get I could remember where most things ended up.

Now my brain is so much more disorganized than my house has ever been.

I have multiple (yes, multiple) calendars, all with the same information on them. And yet I still manage to forget so many important things. Somethings aren't such a big deal. But when you forget about some bills that's a pretty big deal.

I have no clue how to do menu planning. I have read many blogs and websites about it. I have tried so many "tricks" that I have seen suggested. But I just can't do it. I have so many cookbooks (I LOVE cookbooks) but they only do any good if you have a plan in mind. I can think of lots of things that I would like. But then there are the males in the house that are so picky (one claims he is not) and a couple girls that refuse to eat something if the males refuse to eat it. The only thing the majority of the household can agree on is desserts, but we've got to eat more than desserts.

I will put things in places intentionally so I don't lose them. Five minutes later I can't remember where I put anything, or what it was that I put away.

Is this just part of being a mother? Or am I really losing it?

I need a professional organizer to come into my house and get me on track.

I want to be the wife and mother that everyone envies because she has it all put together and the household runs so smoothly. I want to have the house that is always company ready. I want to cook the meals that are perfect, that everyone will eat (that one I know is pretty unattainable).

Someone come teach me how to do this!!!
