My schedule {yay for a schedule!} changed drastically looking like this now:
5:15 a.m. ~ run
6:00 a.m. ~ brief computer time
6:15 a.m. ~ shower and get ready
7:00 a.m. ~ drive Kyndal to town for school and get Dawson up
7:30 a.m. ~ get Eli and Brynne up and off to school
8:30 a.m. ~ unload the dishwasher, make the beds, start household duties of the day
9:00 a.m. ~ homeschooling
Noon ~ lunch and housework
1:00 p.m. ~ homeschooling (or errands or volunteering at school)
2:30 p.m. ~ Kyndal picked up
4:00 p.m. ~ Eli and Brynne home
Evening ~ homework, dinner, getting ready for the next day, school meetings, projects, homeschool planning, baths.
8:30 p.m. ~ kids to bed and Rick and me time
Whew!
So, what did I do this weekend?
AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE!!!
And that included a couple of trips running errands, making birthday party invitations, practicing making paper chef hats for Brynne's party, running Kyndal and her friend around town taking pictures for a class project, cleaning the floors, washing sheets, inputting grades, finishing planning next week's lessons for Dawson, and a host of other things.
Yeah, that's all.
But, I did do all of this in comfy clothes and a laid back attitude. Why? Because I'm too wiped out to be too stressed about anything.
I'm still tired, but I'm relaxing as much as I can today and catching up on reading blogs I enjoy and enjoying my coffee. I'm just going to take it easy because ....
tomorrow my schedule above starts all over again.
Wow! That's how things are once school starts...life in the fast lane. I admire your commitment to your kids {and husband}. I always cherish coffee time too!

I just typed out my new schedule that will be starting on Thursday :) Whew...is right!! I am enjoying a very, very lazy day today too!
ReplyDeleteOk, you wore me out, just reading your schedule. I really wish I could get up at 5:15 to walk, but really I can, I am just too selfish to give up my computer time. :(
ReplyDeleteI am going to start my workouts in the evening Tues, Wed, Thurs, & either Fri or Sat. Wish me luck that I stick to it. I have gained back all my weight plus some since Feb. So mad at myself.
Have a good day.
