I sat down last night and made out my "Morning Routine". My plan is to work on this routine for 2 weeks until it becomes 2nd nature. Right now I am not putting in certain time frames for each activity but a rise until noon "to-do" list.
Rise - 6:00 a.m. (stretch, potty, etc.)
-
Dress for exercise
-
Quiet Time
-
Exercise (MWF - Curves / TuThSa - Walk)
-
Wipe down bathroom
-
Shower and Dress
-
Make bed, straighten room
-
Make breakfast
-
Eat with kiddos
-
Bible study, devotional, prayer with kids
-
Clean up breakfast dishes
-
Start school (we are doing 3 Rs right now)
-
Mat time with baby and help with school / e-mail.
This should take me until 12:00 p.m. when I feed and lay the baby down for a nap and make lunch.
So far so good this morning except that I got up late and missed quiet time. I plan to do this after lunch today but need to get up on time tomorrow. I don't really have a plan for quiet time, just reading and prayer right now.
After 2 weeks I will begin working on my after noon schedule - 12:00 - 6:00 p.m. I will work on that as I continue my morning schedule for another 2 weeks. I will prayerfully start my evening schedule 6:00 p.m. - bedtime (which needs to be earlier).
I hope to be on a regular routine rise to bedtime in about 6 weeks. After a month of sticking to that full schedule I will try to add on more specific times to ready myself for the full school day.
I pray you have a wonderful day!!!!
