Do not grow weary of doing good.

Plan for tomorrow
|
I have a plan and feel good about it. 1) To kick off getting back into routine and school, I'm making breakfast for the kids. Going to make pancakes. They love it when I make pancakes so it will entice them to get out of bed and, especially with the teens, have better attitudes. 2) At breakfast I'm going to introduce the concept of having a six item "to-do" list with the kids. Each day I'm going to ask them to list three things that are important for them to accomplish. I want them to have success. After a few weeks I'll ask for 4 important things, then after a few weeks of success we'll move to 5 important things and so on till we get to six. I will emphasis that they won't always get six things accomplished but if they are attempting it they should at least be getting important things in life done. 3) The house is still in post-Christmas disarray. We want to invite my husband's sister and brother to be able to stay her when they come this weekend to help their parents with work that needs to be done around their house. (My father-in-law has very suddenly been very ill the last 3-4 months.) I also realized that trying to start school when it is in disarray would just cause me to feel more out of control and discombobulated. It's important to get the house cleaned and orderly again, which means putting the Christmas tree away as well as other Christmas decorations. Those are my three things! I feel very positive about our "start of school" tomorrow. We'll be having life lessons and ready for academics on Tuesday. Hopefully, I'll have good things to share by Wednesday or Thursday. Have a good week! |
