Blessed Schedule--a few changes

The thing I love most about a schedule is that it's yours to change and fit your life as you see fit! Well, my current one was too jammed packed and there was a few things I had 'to do' that really didn't have to be done. It's impossible to get a too-full schedule completed when you have littles around. Like a no-napper. Sigh.

Here is my updated schedule for tomorrow:

~Up at 7:00 (got to get up before my kiddos...it's so hard to get up when your precious baby boy is nestled under your arms...that's better than chocolate cake to me!)
~Iron Dh clothes
~15 minutes straightening living room area
~Read Bible
~Clean Room (supposing kids are getting up)
~Get dressed
~Load of clothes (tomorrow is kids' clothes)
~Breakfast while kids do Table Activities (tomorrow is Coloring books)
~Breakfast
~Devotion
~Table Chores (Erin helps with dishes, Em clears table, wipes it and sweeps under it)
~Clean Kids' Rooms (w/my help)
~Kids dressed (Emory takes trashes to big can while I dress Erin)
~Outside (45 min-1 hour--moved this up b/c it's getting so hot!!!!!!!)
~hang out clothes
~feed animals
~play with kiddos
~Water/Popsicle break *usually the kids ask for popsicles on the way out..lol)
~Evan nurse/nap (pushing his nap to later in hopes he will be more ready to fall asleep
~Lunch Preps/Table Activities
~Story Time/Bible Verse
~Table Chores
~Nap Preps (BR, Water, Clean any messes)
~Nap (Erin)
~Emory Homeschool (30 min-1hour)
~Emory Nap/Quiet time
~Prayer time (if they are all asleep..most of the time I just find ways to get in some prayer time!)
~Evan Lunch
~Chores for the day (Tomorrow's are: sweep & mop front of house, fold kids' clothes and put in baskets, sweep off porch/side walk, water flowers)
~Supper Preps
~Baths (have them earlier on Wednesdays b/c of c hurch)
~Computer time--alternating kids
~Table chores
~supper
~stack dishes, clean table
~Get ready for church at 6pm
~Church
~Bedtime preps
~Bedtime for kids
~Time alone/Dh
~bedtime

I sure hope this schedule leaves me less frustrated because I haven't gotten a few things done, etc. Let you know how it's going. Gotta put in some Gardening time several times a wk. Picked our first batch of butter beans yesterday! Still getting squash. Made delish squash cornbread tonight. Will post recipe if anyone is interested.

Good night!

Hope the new schedule helps. Mine has changed a lot recently too. I only have one child so far but it is useful to see how people work things with more than one.
SUsan. :o)

It looks great! /hopefully you won't feel so stressed with a less packed schedule. You out to see my schedule, lol. It looks like something like

wake up whenever
eventually get bfast
sit around the house
take a shower
cook lunch, maybe, lol
send dh off to work
sit around some more
maybe do school
then maybe wash some dishes
go outside
come inside
give kids food
send kids to bed
go to sleep

Yeah, that looks about right, at least for the next few weeks.
