Simple routine
I thrive on routine and so do my children. I never really realized how routine driven I am until one year when I had to have physical therapy on my wrist. Having to go to therapy three times a week messed me up. I didn't sleep well, which of course led to other problems.

When I get up early in the morning, which I have been doing again lately, I read, pray, and then drink coffee or tea while I do my "online" rounds. I get about two hours before the kids wake up.
When kids are up we make breakfast, eat and clean up.

After breakfast we do devotions. Currently our devo's are from "Did You Know Devotions for Kids." They include neat trivia so not only do we learn Bible, but also other fun facts. These usually make some bunny trails for the day.

Then I read out loud while the kids draw or play quietly. Presently, we are reading "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne.

Then it is math time. The kids are required one page a day, more if they want. While they are getting math done I exercise. If I don't get to exercise because I am teaching a new concept then we all exercise together after math.

Journaling/writing/grammar is next. I have a box of writing promts that I use. I also journal along with the kids. (Or blog.)

Lunch

In the afternoon we work on what we didn't get to in the morning and work on projects, read more, field trips, play time.

Dinner

Play

Bed

After the kids are all in bed, I usually veg with hubbs or depending on my mood, I'll crochet, blog or watch a movie.

It's simple, really.

Hi HappyApple!
You are preaching to the choir. If my routine is messed up....so is my entire way of thinking. Good to know I am not the only one.
Blessings!

Education is not just sitting in a schoolhouse. Education is learning, and that can be done anytime and anywhere - as long as the mind is willing." ~ Mentor Graham

She has a high degree of untapped creativity, and tends to be hard working when it comes to worthwhile causes. A leader that will never admit her leadership expertise." ~ Jim (husband)
