A Schedule??? What's That??

Robyn at Overflowing Grace posted the other day about her daily schedule and asked that other SAHMs let her know what their schedule was like. My first response was "Schedule?? What's that??" Then I realized that I do have a schedule. It's just not the same every day. So here is my "schedule" just for her. :)

Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays

10:30 pm shower and bedtime

My schedule for Tuesday varies in that I have a bible study from 9:00 to 11:30 so everything else that usually happens in that time frame gets moved to later. Hubby also has bible study in the evenings so I get to be single mom on that night.

For Wednesday, it's early release day at the elementary school, so Kindergartener gets picked up at 11:15 am. I prepare snacks and room for a small group that meets in my home from 12:00 to 1:30. In the evenings, I have choir practice, and my eldest daughter has High School midweek so dinner must be done earlier.

On most Fridays, our day is as stated above, unless I am in a drama at church. If I do, then I am there from 6:00 to 8:00 in which case hubby does dinner and bath duty. Saturdays, hubby serves as parking attendant at church, so the day is free until 5:00, unless the New Day choir (which I'm in) is on that week, then I have to be at the church by 4:30. On Sundays, our day is full of church related activities. Serving in Children's Ministry for hubby and eldest daughter. Serving in choir, or drams, or Women's Ministry leadership, or Growth Group meetings for me. If we have a Sunday open in which one or both of us is not serving then we spend the day getting caught up in any bible studies we didn't finish during the week, or do something as a family.

Oh, and right here is where I admit that I am addicted to my computer, the blogosphere and all my blogging buddies' blogs, and that I will take any free minute to blog some more, or read their blogs. :)

Unfortunately for my family, we're such a large family that there isn't alot of room for surprises. But then again, maybe I'm just not very organized. I try, but being organized is too much work. :) In the words of Beth Moore, I am an ADD housekeeper. (She said that about herself, but I agree about myself.)
