Wacky Wednesday

I realized after a summer of sleeping in that by the end of the day I haven't accomplished much. So, I decided to make a list of what I did today. Here it is:
-Woke up at 10:15am
-Made my bed
-Worked for 3 hours
-Cleaned the kitchen
-Did 4 loads of laundry (and still going)
-Picked and ate blackberries
-Put dinner in the oven
-Took a shower with Hubby
-Cleaned up from dinner
-Worked on the blog

Doesn't look like much huh? I think working at home robs me of time and I don't even realize it. It doesn't help that my job directly involves the internet. Don't get me wrong- I am so incredibly blessed to have the job that I do- but before I know it, it is lunch time and I haven't done anything around the house except make my bed. How many of us have said we were just going to check our email and next thing we know an hour has gone by?

I have some goals when school starts back up next week. I have slept in almost every day this summer, and I have to quit! I KNOW I need to get to bed sooner, but I have the hardest time actually doing it. I really need to be a more scheduled person!

So this is the plan-
-Get up at 6:00am
-
Life Journal until 6:20am
-
Exercise from 6:20am-6:40am
-Wake Girly Girl to get ready for school 6:45am
-Jump in shower and get ready for the day 6:45- 7:15am
-Wake up rest of the kids & get breakfast ready 7:15am
-Eat breakfast and do
Family Devotions 7:25am-7:45am
-Take Girly Girl to school 7:50am
-Finish getting Doodle Bug & Little Bean ready for school 8:00am-8:30am
-Take Doodle to school 8:35am
-Come home and get Jordo started on
Homeschooling 8:50am
-Clean up kitchen from breakfast and throw a load of laundry in
-Have Little Bean do some pre-learning activities
-Get started working 9:30am & periodically check on Jordo's school progress
-Finish up working 11:45am
-Get lunch ready 11:55am
-Clean up lunch and make sure Little Bean is ready for Kindergarten
-Take Little Bean to school 12:30pm
-Either run errands or go home and do more housework
-Work more 1:00pm-2:00pm
-Mom time- check work, Internet, etc...
-Girly Girl gets home from school 2:50pm
-Get Doodle and Little Bean from school 3:00pm
-Do after school snacks 3:15pm
-Assign chores for each child 3:45pm
-Straighten up house before Hubs comes home
-Do whatever chores still need done
-Get
dinner started 4:30pm
-Eat & clean-up from dinner 5:15-6:00pm
-Help with homework, etc..
-Family time and/or bath time 6:45-7:45pm
