My Daily Routine for Second Term

I'm adopting Mother Auma's (I think it was her) idea of writing out the daily routine hope/wish/ideal and then putting it on a clipboard.

So here's the one for this term -- it's not all-inclusive of course, but includes some of the things I forget if not reminded:

Morning
  • Wake up, pray
  • Get dressed, weigh in, swish and wipe toilet
  • Tidy upstairs, note things to do later
  • Bring laundry down, start a load
  • Start fire, make breakfast, tidy kitchen.
  • Pray, eat breakfast.
  • Have coffee while planning the day -- look over their books if time provides (usually doesn't)
  • Talk to kids as they get up and eat breakfast.

----------
8:30 am till about noon

Gather kids -- give them outline of what to do (this varies from day to day)
Help them as needed.
While older ones read, type in log and check email.

--------
Noon
Lunch, chores, supervise chores, switch laundry
Attention for littlies
Bath, ask about their reading and writing (narrations)

----------
