My schedule....

I thought I should post my daily schedule with hopes that it will keep me more accountable.  I am trying to keep myself on track so that I don't become overwhelmed with housework or laundry.  I hope this also assists me in being better organized.  My schedule does not include daily pick-up around the house or my daily vaccuming (we have a dog that sheds about twelve pounds of hair a day). 

Monday-Wash downstairs floors, wipe down all sinks and toilets (we have three-see previous post about toothpaste art), wash towels, get lesson plans ready for next day and do any Daisy girl scout planning that needs to be done.

Tuesday-Wash upstairs floors, do one load laundry, lesson plans ready for next day, and do any Cub Scout work that needs to be done

Wednesday-Wash stairs (no carpeting on these), one load of laundry, lesson plans ready for the next day, dust downstairs

Thursday-Vaccum and dust upstairs, one load laundry, lesson plans ready for next day, do meal plan and grocery list for the next week, pay any bills

Friday-Do homeschool journal, clean bathrooms, wash kitchen floor, do one load laundry

Saturday-finish laundry and wash sheets

Sunday-hopefully, I'll be able to spend some time reading, scrapbooking, quilting, or just relaxing.  I also plan on pulling the materials together for the next day.

Now, each day states lesson plans ready.  Basically, I  have everything posted in homeschool tracker for six weeks.  I print out the day's work and get it together, making sure I have any supplies that I need.  I also take a quick look at the lesson plans so I know what I'm doing the next day.

I should let everyone know that I have major issues with not housecleaning all in one day to have a nice clean house.  My problem is that between dust and dog hair, it looks horrible for the rest of the week.  Plus, I don' t have the time and energy to do that anymore, unless I want to spend my whole weekend doing it-which I don't.  I'm trying to make my weekends more pleasant and not so busy with household stuff so that we can do family stuff.

Have a great day!

Hey. Thanks for the comment on my blog. Made me feel better! I like your schedule. I have tried this before, sort of an adjusted flylady thing (as I do not get all excited by a shiny sink like she does), but, alas, I quit. In my defense, I had a baby. So it was all out the window. I know that I can have a sort of clean house and homeschool! It can be done! Thanks for posting this schedule.

I really need to get myself back on a schedule. It's so hard to practically kill myself cleaning when company's coming. If I could keep up, I think I'd be a happier camper on a daily basis, too. A messy/dirty house drives me crazy!
