A day in the life of me

A normal day, in the Lucky kingdom, would look something like this:
First, me and hubby wake up. I run downstairs to make coffee, clean up the family living room, and unload the dishwasher. I make hubby a cup of coffee and meet him in our bedroom ( I don't drink coffee, but if desperate enough will have a cup of Earl Grey or breakfast tea.) Here I do a quick clean. Make/strip my bed and clean off the dressers and night stands.
2. I wake up the kids and they do their chores while I shower, dress, and tidy up the bathroom. I run through and check the chores and grab cups to start a load in the dishwasher (which we just recently got and I ADORE).
3. Breakfast and breakfast clean up.
4. We start school. We do it til about 11:30 and then clean up for....
5. .....lunch and lunch clean up. They have an hour between 12 and 1 to eat and play.
6. Finish school. Anywhere between 1-4 we are done, depending on what we are doing.
7. Free time. We can play together or just chill out until dinner.
8. Dinner and dinner clean up.
9. Kids take baths and decide what they are doing for the night. Watching tv/a movie with us? Playing a board game? Playing by themselves?
10. At 8 pm. The kids are shooed off so we can have a few hours of hubby and wife time.
11. Bed time.

I have daily goals to go along with each day:
Monday-laundry day. Everyone gets new linen today.
Tuesday- trash day/ kitchen clean. This way any funky things found can go out with the trash.
Wednesday-office day/big house clean. I tackle paperwork and desktop dust once a week.
Thursday- bathroom or bust day.
I call it that because it is one of my least favorite chores but it has to be done!
Friday- errand/field trip day.
Saturday- big clean number 2 and family fun day.
Sunday- the bare minimum/ big dinner day.

And then to make things more
complicated I have daily chores. Things that must be done every day, except bare minimum day:
1. 4 loads of laundry.
2. Deep clean one room.
3. Grade papers.
4. I have a daily honey do item. I ask. What can I do for you while you are working today? If he doesn't have anything I will try to do something special to show I was thinking of him.
5. Momma loves time. At least 10
Minutes a day with each child of one on one time.
6. What's tomorrow. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? School? Appointments? I make sure I am all ready for the next day.
7. Devotion time. I will either read a Christian book (I love Beth Moore, frank peretti, and stormie) or a daily devotion. Some days I might even have time to do both. Lol.

That's the basic outline but of course things get juggled around from day to day, but at least when I wake up in the morning I think I know what to expect.
