Mar. 26, 2007 - Schedules
Good Morning!
It's almost 7am here! I have only one son up, he is 10 and woke up early to play video games (with permission). The rest of the house is sleeping! It's so peaceful, calming, relaxing! I could crawl right back into bed and sleep until everyone else woke up, about 9am. Instead I am staying up, why??? Good question...
I know I don't have to do things the "normal" way. I actually like doing most things different from everyone else! Yet there is this nagging in me that feels like I should have my children up at 7am. Why? I don't know. They are more productive when they sleep in and wake up on their own. Am I allowing them to be lazy? Am I setting them up for problems when they get older and need to hold a job that may start early morning? Am I being selfish letting them sleep in so that I have an excuse to?
I don't know. What I do know is that when we are on a schedule we work soooo much better! We haven't been on much of one since Sept. when dh had his seizure. Now I, ME, MYSELF, crave schedule back! I can only imagine the kids do too!
I want to just try up, rest, and bed this week. UP: 7am ~ REST: 12-2pm ~ BED: 8pm (for everyone)
Next week add meals. BREAKFAST: 8am ~ LUNCH: 11am ~ SNACK: 2pm ~ DINNER: 5pm ~ SNACK: 7:30pm
That means next week I have to add school too. 8:30-11am ~ 12-3:30pm
hmmm, better thing this out.
well, better go ~ wanna lay back down HAHAHA!
