Our Schedule ~~ Friday, January 2

Tristan wanted us to share our schedules.  Mine isn't really changing too much for the new year, other than the new schedule I started at the beginning of December for a week will again be implemented (snow days and no school got in the way).   I'm going to separate the schedule into workdays and non-work days.  I can't break it down by day of the week as my workdays change.  I've included times, but for school related items they are approximate depending on how focused we are.

Workdays:

  • I set my alarm for 6am, but don't usually roll out of bed until closer to 6:30.  I get ready for the day and either my mom or I will wake Bug at about 6:45.  If we're hungry and have time we'll grab breakfast, otherwise we head out the door and catch our bus at 7:10.  I rest and Bug listens to music or plays Leapster on the bus ride.
  • Arrive at the G's house at 8am.  We don't even take our coats off and head right back out the door with W & S to take W to school.  We are back from that by about 8:45.  At this point, Bug will get breakfast if he didn't get it before and S will finish his breakfast if necessary.  If no food is needed, the boys will play until 9:00.
  • 9:00-9:45 -- Bug does handwriting, reading, and math.  Starting new, I'm going to set the timer for him for each subject.  He seems to focus a little better if he knows the timer is going.  During this time, S is either quietly playing near by or will join us at the table and color.
  • 9:45-11:00 -- Play time for the boys.  I will usually figure out what is for lunch, and then sit and read or play with the boys until about 10:30 at which time I start lunch prep (depending on what we are having).
  • 11:00-11:30 -- Pick W up from school.
  • 11:30-12:00 -- Lunch
  • 12:00-1:30 -- Bus ride home. Again, I'm resting, Bug is playing Leapster or listening to music.
  • 1:30-2:00 -- Quiet time.  Bug gets quiet play time in room, I check e-mail and organize literature unit.
  • 2:00-2:30 -- Literature unit studies.
  • 3:00-5:00 -- Play time for Bug, sometimes this includes a little TV time.  I will finish checking e-mail and start dinner. 
  • 5:00 -- My mom is home and I leave for work.
Non-Workdays:
  • Usually we sleep in until about 8.  Bug wakes up earlier, but because of my late nights I usually allow him to watch a bit of TV until 8 so I can catch a little more sleep.  Once I get up, we'll eat breakfast, play, and if we're lucky get dressed and ready for the day.
  • 9:00-9:45 -- Handwriting, Reading, and Math.  Depending on the energy level of the day, this may get pushed back but prefer it done by 11:00.
  • At this point, it is really dependent on what else needs to be done.  We'll eat lunch and go to the library or run other errands.  Or we'll relax and play for a while longer and do our literature unit in the afternoon some time. 
  • I try to start dinner by 4:00 so it's ready before I go to work at 5:00. 
There ya go.  It looks crazy, and most of the time it is crazy!  My weeks are never the same from one to the next.
