We started homeschooling for a lot of reason and we will continue to because we love it. The joy to be the one teaching them how to and not just looking at the work that someone did with them. Wow God has blessed me to be able to stay home with my three children. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/riggsfamily5/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:30:00 -0500 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:30:00 -0500 I think I have discovered the path to successful housekeeping! All this time I have been attempting to conform my day to the checklist.  I've had it all backwards.  The secret is to conform the list to the events of the day. For instance:         * Wake up- check * Take shower- check * Kiss babies good morning- check * Make breakfast for kids- check * Kiss husband -check * Send hubby out to work- check * Turn cartoon on- check * Take clothes out of dryer- check * Take clothes to living room-check * Fold them/ put away- check * Hold Lindsey and tell her how much i love her- check * Remind my child to wipe after going potty-check * Rocker Zeb and sing to him-check * Look fish information up on computer-check * Read about fish to the kids-check * Tell Grace where the paper is that she had be looking for for 15 mins-check * Help Lindsey make a lap book- check * Remind Zeb that he doesn't need to change clothes 5 times a day-check * Take the kids to the park-check * Feed kids lunch-check * Call hospice about picking up chair-check * Blog-check Wow see I feel like I have done so much and it is still early afternoon. I think I will make more list at the end of the day and feel better about my day. I know there were things I left out like dishes, load dishwasher, pick up like at least 10 times today, but these are just a few things from my day. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/riggsfamily5/523912/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:30:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/riggsfamily5/523912/
