Balance

I'm trying this New Year to be a bit more balanced - a hard task for me I admit!! :0) We are incredibly blessed around here so it's not that I feel like huge changes need to be made. We are just busy, busy, busy and I think a better schedule will make things easier - at least for me - I like lists and schedules and stuff like that and I have gotten away from it (and have ended up feeling like I'm just running around like a chicken with no head :0) hahaha).

So here is my rough draft of my weekly schedule - I'm still working out my daily plans:

Monday: Kitchen day - the day to really hit my kitchen and make it nice for the week (the dishes and general pick is done everyday) wipe down canisters, cookie jars, coffee pots etc.

Laundry: Ruth and Abbie's clothes

Tuesday: Bathrooms - my favorite (not really) scrub down the bathrooms - tubs, sinks, floors and of course toilets

Laundry: Jacob and Sam's and diapers

Wednesday: Living room, Dining Room, Entry clean-up
Laundry: Hubby's and mine and the girl's Sunday School clothes

Thursday: Master bedroom clean-up (we have homeschool classes this day)

Laundry: Towels and Rugs, and Essie's clothes

Friday: Plan menus (homeschool classes also)

So that's it - roughly - for my week. When it's down on paper it looks so easy and manageable!! I better not let Hubby see this or he will think my job is easy!! :0) hahahaha Of course school everyday isn't written down and all the other crazy things that happen throughout my day - like monkey children climbing on everything and zipping kids in and out of jackets and peeling boots on and off many times a day!!:0)!!

So at least here is my attempt to get life a little more ordered and organized. Does anyone else do this - what are your plans?
