Fall Schedule Revised

Didn't I tell you that I'm famous for rewriting a schedule? Ha! It's best for me to try it and then if it doesn't work, find out where's the problem fix it if it needs fixing or adjust to it if I'm the one who has to change.

Since starting school, I see some things that needed to be changed or just plain not needed. As a result of seeing that, here's the new schedule. Keep in mine, I'm not following this to a "T". It's a goal for some time spots. So, PLEASE don't think I am. Ha!

4:30am - 5:00 Wake, Wash/Dress/Prayer/Exercise (so far, it seems like 5:00am. I don't always arise at this time and it seems that it's been more of a prayer time than both. I need to get back at exercising.)

5:00 - 6:30 Bible Study

6:30 – 7:00 Clean kitchen, fix breakfast (if needed), start laundry

7:30 - 8:00 Kids are up, washed/dressed, family time with Daddy before work

8:30 - 9:00 Breakfast/playtime until Mommy's ready for school

9:00 - 12:00pm School

- Social Studies (basics: About Me (eyes, nose, etc.)

- Reading (different for each: one is learning to read, the other is learning her sounds in words, the other is just there because she wants to be included)

-Snack time, potty break (for the older ones), and playtime

-Phonics (basics: I'm using a book that I purchased from Sam's Club for Zenail and something on a Pre-K level for MaKayla not too much)

-Writing (basics: ABC and copying words for Zenail to do and Zianna is coloring)

12:00pm - 12:30 *Lunch Time (May a PBS show)

12:30 - 1:00 Putting baby down for his nap while girls are watching another PBS show

1:00 – 3:00 Kid’s Rest Time/ Mommy’s Time (computer, sleep, read, or talk on the phone)

3:00 - 3:30 Art Time/School is OVER! Whatever doesn't get done is done the next day.

3:30 - 4:00 Administrative work for school

4:00 - 5:00 House chores (I'm still trying to figure this one out in a way that the house is presentable.)

5:00 - 6:00 Dinner Prep

6:00 - 7:00 Dinner

7:00 - 7:30 Brush Teeth & Dress for Bed

7:30 *Bed Time Stories (Later for the specific child’s time with me)

7:30 - 8:00 Clean Kitchen &/or Take Out Meat

8:00 - 8:30 Iron Matt's Clothes

8:30 - 9:30 Time With Matt

9:30 Mommy's Bedtime!!!

Now, from 7 - 9:30 is a work in progress. This is one of those things that I need to adjust to for myself. Pray for me! Ha!

Thank You Lord for showing me how the first schedule was not working. It was too high to obtain. Please help all of us as Mommies find out what works and what doesn't and also what we need to adjust to do. In Jesus name, Amen.
