Scheduling and Chores

Well today was the beginning of the Wilson Family's new and improved schedule. I know deep down in my heart that scheduling our days is the only way I can get things done and still have time to just enjoy my children but I fight it every step of the way. Im great at making the schedule and printing it out, its the following that I really fight. Now I realize that any schedule I make up will never go off perfectly but I need a goal and my children need a routine. They have been a bit trying lately. So I sat down lastnight and came up with a fairly decent schedule, got up early , got ready, had devotions and prayed that God would guide me through my day. I got the children up , did chores , had breakfast, did errands, and the rest of the day basically followed the schedule and the day was much better. I accomplished what I needed to get done and still had time for some swimming with the kids. My 8yr old dd, Kassidy and I baked some banana bread and prepared dinner so that when my husband got home all we needed to do was to put it in the oven. It felt great , I am now working on my homekeeping schedule as well as my homekeeping notebook!

I tried to purchase a usb cable for my camara at Walmart today but they do not carry them , so I ordered it online direct from the company, I cant wait to post some pictures. I did find some nice skirts at Walmart today, I normally cant find any clothing there I like but I purchased 4 skirts today, the cost for each averaged out to be about $12 per skirt. I really needed them.

Well thats it for today , God Bless!

I am exactly that same way about scheduling! And my husband's job is totally erratic, so every week is different for him/us. You've given me a nudge toward attempting something for us, too. Thanks!

Oh Krystal! I'm so happy that you are able to be back home! I'm also so proud to hear that you were able to find some decently priced skirts. I didn't read these posts before I e-mailed you and I hope that you aren't offended by what I said about not wearing skirts/dresses as often anymore. I really do think it is the best thing to do if you are truly dedicated to it. I hope you will forgive me if I said anything that wasn't okay!!
Love & Blessings,
(: Amanda :)

Oh yeah! I hope that your chores/schedule will continue to work out well. I have considered buying the Mangers of Their Homes and Chores several times, but haven't given in yet. You'll have to let me know how it works out for you guys.
Love & Blessings,
(: Amanda :)

Good for you!

I have Managers of their chores and started it, but I didn't stick it out. :( I am planning to edit our schedule for the chores and put it back into place. It is work staying on schedule, but it is good for the family. :) I know I was blessed by reading the book too. Look forward to hear how it works for you.

Aug. 1, 2007 - I am a schedule kind of girl!

I find that when I'm not on our schedule, we all suffer! I really need to work on 2 areas- getting up a little earlier- I try to be up by 6:30 am, and would like to be up by 6 am. The other is limiting time on the computer. So, I need to do a little work on my schedule too! I have our school schedule in place. Making a home making binder was the best thing that I've ever done!! Everything I need is in one book. I have also made a grocery binder too, to keep everything with my grocery shopping in order. Blessings, Kelly
