So you noticed for a time I have on again off again been complaining about how long it takes to do everything.
I even started waking up early and didn't seem to finish any earlier.
Well two days ago I decided to schedule the important things so that when I look at the clock and think 'doing good' I know what I am talking about.
and it worked!
As odd as it might seem to schedule 'vacuum' it actually worked.
I scheduled just the basics, and listed the other stuff, but just being able to look at the clock and see where I aught to be, helped me keep up the momentum, and not lose track of the esssentials in all the 'other stuff' (like dusting, nothing wrong with dusting, but washing towels is more important...)
Yesterday I was done at 930, today just after 9..course the depressing thing is I get up at 6:15 now...that is about 3 hours of 'getting ready for the day'....
Though on the upside it includes:
1.working out (10 miniutes plan on increasing soon)
2. kissing my husband goodby and helping with his lunch packing.
3. Praying (15 minutes -man is that hard!)
4. Making my bed, checking kids
5. Load of laundry in
6. breakfast
7. dishes out of dishwasher and back in
8. 'tidy up house to vacuum'
9. Nother load of laundry in
10. Vacuum (8am)
11. bleach entry way floor
12. wash windows/dust (actually this is what the kids do while I vacuum, keeps em out from underfoot...and happy!)
13. Mop kitchen floor (or sweep, depending on crumb count)
14. clean mirrors (again kids do)
15. Bleach bathroom (or two) (8:30)
16. shower three kids and self
And of course miscelaneous potty help, dressing assistance, inspections, ect.
I guess that list is kinda long...
Then after all that we play actually most mornings they ask to do 'worksheets' or read magazines, or sometimes play a game. but summer is comming, and I want to be able to go swimming most sunny mornings....will have to ad 'pack lunch' to the list, plus sunscreen and such.
Anyway, I broke my record
I broke the 10am record!
