HawthoRNe 1st Season Series DVD: Giveaway

by

HawthorneBoxArt_200As many of you know, I am a Mom who also works full time outside the home.  My busy schedule requires a delicate juggling act of my priorities which can certainly be stressful.  But, to me, the rewards greatly outweigh the drawbacks.  For this reason, I can definitely relate to Christina Hawthorne (played by Jada Pinkett Smith) in the TNT series, HawthoRNe.  A little about the series:

“Juggling both family and career, recently-widowed nursing director and mother of a teenage girl, Christina Hawthorne (Jada Pinkett Smith) struggles to hold the middle ground in a battle between bureaucratic administrators, heartless doctors, and apathetic colleagues who are caught up in a system that’s forgotten whom it’s there to serve.”

  1. I decided whats most important- seriously- life is too stressful if you let it get to you and everyone needs to realize what is important and what is not. Time with people is most important to me, the laundry can wait or can be multitasked later- its amazing when you sit down and declutter your life- what you actually see and learn and appreciate from it all

  2. i have a lot on my plate but always start with the stuff that is time sensitive and work from there

  10. I start each day by exercising which relaxes me and gives me the energy to get everything on my ‘to do’ list done. If I don’t get everything done, it goes on the list for the next day.

  11. Oh I so cannot do it all… ugh. I have to conentrate and focus on the two or three most important tasks of the day, and just work on that. It does help at least to make a mental list though. 🙂

    Thanks for the chance.

  12. I try to do it all each day. I think of myself as a multi tasker. Not only am I mom, wife, sister, friend etc I try to do whatever I can to help someone if they need my help. That is what it is all about.

  14. I do it all by making sure each member of my family helps. I can relate to the character in Hawthorne

  20. I have mental lists of things that MUST be done but the nonessential things I have to write on a list.

    Being an RN since 1974 I can relate as a nurse but what she does is nothing like what nursing was when I worked in a hospital.

  25. i don’t know how I do it. But i can manage to keep my job,raise my grand kids. both parents are mising, clean the house cook and all of that. i get a break and relaxing on the internet i love reading what other people are doing

  27. I try to keep things simple–try to stick to what has to be done and not get buried under all the little extras I would like to do but really don’t have time for. Also, I learned a long time ago how to say “no.” It is all too easy to overcommit oneself if you feel like you have to say “yes” to every request.

  34. How do I handle it all? I use my calendar in my blackberry. I swear, I have alarms going off all day!

  39. I work a job where I can set my own hours, so I work realy early or really late so I can be home with the kids. The rest of my day is making sure the kids have what they need and if the house does not get cleaned or dishes done there is always tomorrow to try again. Just as long as everyone is healhty and happy life is good.

  49. I do my best to just keep myself in check and honestly pace myself. The more I stress myself out, the less I get done. Making lists of things I know need to get done is great for me as I can physically see what needs done!

  50. I don’t do it all but I triage (to use a nurse word) and make sure the important things are done and the rest either happens or not.

  52. I honestly don’t try and do it all, otherwise I would go crazy. Family first, then housework, then if we have time the other things get done 🙂

  53. My priorities are in this order; family, Home , School and Friends.
    Fortunately I don’t have to balance work because I work from home.
    As long as the first two are taken care by bedtime I am doing great and can get a good nights sleep. the others can always wait until tomorrow unless it is urgent.
    Thank you so much for the giveaway.

  58. I raised two young children to adulthood on my own, holding down two jobs for around 8 years and then “resting” with just one job. I can prioritize very well and that is why I always have free time even when I am super busy.

  59. I never saw the show but I manage my priorites by making a daily list of what needs to be done. The most important on top with the least important on the bottom. I end the day when the list is checked off!

  61. I always like to start with Family First, The Work, Then Friends, Then everything else

  67. I’m juggling three kids, a husband and a house along with being a full time student, so I can relate! I try to make my family my priority and do as much as I can once the kids are in bed. Thanks for the chance to win!

  86. Everyday, I get that thought that I can’t handle it all, but then realize that someone it all gets done…so I can definitely relate!

  88. I try to do it all,does not always turn out as planned,family first&everything else after that!

  91. Right now I’m in school for my Masters, but my prioritiees are my kids..tehy come first..If I have to stay up late and study that’s fine.

  92. I try to manage it all and since I am the head manager…I also delegate. Having the help of husband, kids, friends is crucial to me. I use them all(nicely) to my advantage. I can relate, thanks.

  99. Prioritizing is the only way to function. Realistically NO-One can get it all done!I too was an RN, struggling with job,family,alternate shifts, and never me. Finally my body said too much and literally shut down. Now I look to make the most out of each day without the rush and worry. I still worry and I still write lists but my priority is me, my husband, and our daughter. Nothing else is important!!!

  102. I have never saw this show but I manage my everyday life by writing lists as that way I remember everything that I am suppose to take care of!

  104. i do the easiest things first and work my way to the hardest. it’s hard to do it all but i can do my best!

  110. I try to prioritize things by how important they are and what NEEDS to be done, but its hard to juggle everything!

  112. I try and tackle the tasks I hate the most first that way once they’re over with, I don’t have to worry about getting back to it.

  113. With a full time job and family I can relate to the character. I manage but sometimes it is difficult. I do the things that have to be done first.
