fall schedule
can i write an entry even though i have no shift key...

thinking through the fall, i've decided to designate goals for each day of the week instead of trying to keep to a certain schedule.  if i schedule something outside of these goals for that day, i need to understand the goals will be thwarted.  it will help me keep white space on the calendar and understand what i need to focus on with discretionary time.

mondays--teach the composition and literature class, take children to the library, schedule any in-town appointments.  if there are none, its a good day for the children's friends to be over in the afternoon.  i also want to spend one hour planning the mom's nights out i am responsible for this year for our local home school co-op.

tuesdays--stay home.  plan menus for the week.  give children's school lessons my undivided attention in the morning.  prepare for our big out of the house wednesdays.  take care of all linens laundry.  focus on business development.

wednesdays--attend our home school co-op or field trip.  S!  (my shift key is back!).  Shop for groceries.  Prep for teaching the Monday Composition and Literature class (I went to bed last night with this completed...what a great feeling vs. waiting for the weekend!).

Thursdays--Stay home.  Switch child care with other home schooling mom in the afternoon.  Give children's lessons undivided attention.  just lost shift key again, arg.  take care of all clothing laundry.  support plays with fire and sons in odyssey of the mind and their evening meeting.  focus on business development.

fridays--stay home.  give children's lessons undivided attention.  take care of any weekly--that often turns into monthly-cleaning.  play with family in the evening.

saturdays--focus on family project...family event planning, gardening, decorating, or non-grocery shopping.

sun-down on saturday to sun-down on sunday practice sabbath.  for me, this means no agenda, for as you can see, there are high ambitions for the other days.  even though life is full, i feel more fulfilled than ever, as it is all work--except the housework, blech--that i love.  thank you, god, for all these opportunities to serve you working with what you've placed in my heart to love.
