We successfully added Awana, ballet and racquetball to the schedule this week. Also went to zumba on Monday morning. The teacher moved the class time up a little bit for me. I'll still need to leave before the end so I can go home to shower and get ready for work. Trixie brought school work to do at zumba. Cards stayed home and did his work. We had to do quite a bit in the afternoon, mostly stuff with Trixie. So I took PE off of Monday's schedule and off of Friday's so we can go grocery shopping. We didn't do any music last week. Just trying to figure out when the best time to do stuff. The morning schedule is running fairly smoothly. Still a few kinks, but overall, I'm pleased with how it's going. Dash has been doing well with going off to school. A little slow in the morning. His chore chart was filled in this week, but he really didn't do all of them or did a really poor job. Trixie did awful at chores. She just doesn't want to do them. Cards has been doing really well. I found out that he is saving up to take me on a date. He'll do his chores if he needs money for something. However, if he isn't saving for something in particular, his motivation drops off. I told him that he'll have to pay for his youth group activities so hopefully the motivation will continue. Sibling birthdays and Christmas are coming, too. I've been the worst offender when it comes to chores. Need to better map out my day and fit things into those spare minutes that I don't know what to do with myself. The to-do list gets so long, I freeze. I need to take the list and think, I can plug vacuuming this room here. And I can plug doing this little thing there.
The GMG Bible study of Colossians starts tomorrow. To fit it in, I'll continue to get up at 4:15. That will give me 15 minutes to get up and dressed. At 4:30 I'll work on the study. 5:00 I'll go to the gym. Meeting with a trainer at 5:30 so I'll get back around 6. That's computer time. Not always the most productive time as I now have over 200 messages in my inbox. Partly because that is when I catch Doc on Skype. 6:45 time to start breakfast and pack Dash's lunch. Kids up at 7. Leave at 7:55 for school to drop off Dash. Come back and start school with the others. Zumba at 9:45 (Mondays). Leave class at 10:30 so I can go home and shower, check on Cards' school work. Go to work at 11:15. Home around 1:15. Finish school with the hopes of maybe taking a brief nap before picking up Dash at 3:30. Monday, Tuesday and Friday have nothing on the calendar after school. Need to better organize these evenings. Wednesdays have ballet, zumba and youth group. Thursdays have racquetball and library. Still feels really crazy. Onward and upward!!!
