I thought this would be a fun way to add some variety to my blog. This will give you a better glimpse into our daily schedule and what we are up to with "school".

Eric has been gone for three days and I am sooooooo ready for him to be home! I have to admit, he does more around here than he gets credit for. Even if it is just entertaining the kids and giving me some space, or taming a brewing argument between the kids!

Assignment: How do you keep energized so you can get it all done? bouncy music? treat it like a workout?

I dont' get it all done! I hate cleaning house, and I especially hate laundry and cooking-but I do it. It's far from perfect and there are some things I have decided not to worry about. I do have a menu laid out, but I don't follow it. I use it more as a guide for what is in the pantry and freezer. So I might have a roast on Saturday instead of Monday, and Lasagne on Tuesday instead of Thursday. You get the picture. I have every meal planned like this right down to snacks. It works really well for us.

Do you use a schedule?, a housekeeping binder system? luck of the draw system?.

I do have a schedule that I rarely keep. Pretty much if we are out of socks and unders, they get priority and washed first. If it's jeans and sweatshirts they get washed. I was keeping up really well, but since we got back from vacation, everything has quickly gone under! I need a vacation from my vacation! LOL

I use a chore chart for the boys, but I haven't been using it lately either. Well, as you can see, I am feeling overwhelmed with schedule, school and home. Our schedule is new and I am not good at changing things. School has been a struggle, but is getting better-at least with the littles-Luke is making me nuts! Oh nothing new there LOL
