Managers of Their Homes
|
So I purchased a copy of Managers of Their Homes, by Terri Maxwell of the Titus 2 ministry. I did it because I'm tired of the chaos and insanity that is my home. I'm tired of collapsing at the end of the day after working myself half to death, only to have the house look like nothing's been done to it for a week. I'm tired of my kids running amok because there is no schedule on which they can depend and feel secure in. Heck, I'm just plain tired. What is Managers of Their Homes, you ask? It's a scheduling system unlike no other. It's designed mainly for homeschooling families, particularly large ones, though any home could benefit greatly. I've tried scheduling before, but this one is different. To describe how would be too complicated. It has taken me a week to create it, suffice it to say, and there are several steps. But once the project is complete, changing the schedule around and making sure it coordinates with other people's schedules is a breeze. If you want to know more about it, visit their website (see link to right) My hope in all of this is to establish order in my home where my kids know what to expect and know what is expected of them. It'll be implemented slowly, and I know I'll make changes as needed, but I fully expect that this will streamline our days better. I'll let you know how it goes. On another note, Grant is doing okay. He's taking Focalin now, instead of Ritalin, since that was making his tics worse. His attention has certainly improved, and he's not bouncing off the walls. There may be hope on the homeschool front yet! I'll keep everyone posted on his progress as well as the schedule's success. |
