All a man’s ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD. Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. The LORD works out everything for His own ends- Proverbs 16:2-4

!This weekly schedule is just and aide for what needs to be done. All housework is subject to an "as needed" basis also!
The above is our daily schedule that we sporadically followed. I really did try to be consistent, really, I did. When I was consistent, our days were peaceful as well as productive. My son knew what was expected of him and when. On those consistent sporadic days, I had a hard time getting myself or him to do anything. We kinda just existed throughout the day without a "purpose."
Majority of the time, this was a result of my not starting my day with Jesus! Sleeping in would take priority and I'd get up in just enough time to have my oldest dressed, fed and at the bus stop! Then the rest of the day just lagged behind. Anton's work schedule is fluctuating right now this is why I had to take a "time stamp" off of his arrival. So anyway, I plan to do it the right way over the next two and a half months using the revamped summer schedule, posted below:
(Proverbs 16:2-4)
Always be prepared to WELCOME DADDY HOME...YAAAAAY!!!

I admire you. I've never been schedule oriented. Seems like after being in the military it would be natural, but girrrrl, a schedule makes me break out in hives (lol). I understand they don't always go as planned, but at least you tried to follow it the best you could!
ReplyDeleteI like the part best where you take a nap. I'm with you all the way on that one.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm not schedule oriented either. I'm task oriented though.
ReplyDeleteLove the nap section!
Whew! Laundry every day???
ReplyDeleteI hope this schedule helps bring peace to your days - without making you a slave to it!
I am trying to have some amount of schedule/chores for my kids this summer, too.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I've tried many different schedules. Still haven't quite found one that works yet...oh well, I'll keep trying. Hope this new schedule works better for you! I like the part about starting the day with Jesus...
