Sometimes it helps to just see what all needs to be accomplished in the day but to remember that there will always be days when we have to reevaluate our expectations-- life happens and that's okay! Here's hoping you and your family find a happy balance!Holly@ThreeSidedWheelhttp://www.threesidedwheel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-31217491048702595912011-09-02T04:20:04.574-05:002011-09-02T04:20:04.574-05:00Great schedule.

I like meals about the same time each day.<br />I only have one left at home to homeschool. She is 9th grade this year and made up her own schedule. However, her following it is another story. Not to mention we have to deal with my mom and her appts, and extra appts to work schooling around.<br />Plus, my mother is calling on the phone all hours of the day.....mostly because she is lonely.<br /><br />Also,my middle daughter and her 5 children are living with us. This makes getting school work done extra difficult, especially with the 2 yr old grandson. If they happen to leave for a bit we will stop what we are doing and do math when she can concentrate more.<br />I would love to homeschool the grandchildren with the help of my daughter but their father says no, so they are in public school.<br /><br />I don't blog specifically about homeschooling but I would like to find a homeschool blog hop to take part in and start blogging about our days.Marsha Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395167873213686382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-92003320132503385872011-08-30T20:30:59.680-05:002011-08-30T20:30:59.680-05:00"Mom, I just don't do well on a schedule&..."Mom, I just don't do well on a schedule" ~ Mercy<br /><br />I don't know what she was talking about.

That's the beauty of having it on the computer (easy edit!). The first few days are always the hardest for us, as we adjust (I carry a copy with me and will have the older girls do the same). But once everyone has settled into the new routine, it really does go much smoother. I agree with "Trophy and Barb"; the schedule is a tool that you control. Find what works best for your family. P.S. I like how you schedule a nap with Caedmon; I need to consider this!Treasures from a shoeboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365888492682303470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-66594257532767231002011-08-30T09:07:22.866-05:002011-08-30T09:07:22.866-05:00Thanks for posting.

There are many God moments throughout the day when we just need to let the schedule slip a bit. I like it because it reminds us where to jump back in rather than feeling like we have to go back and catch up. Who cares if the cabinets don't get washed today. They will next week. :-) Hang in there. Maybe adding a few blocks of "buffer time" would help? Don't know. Just a thought.Trophy and Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393553194101865882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-41896723375110823402011-08-30T08:37:32.204-05:002011-08-30T08:37:32.204-05:00Wow.

Maybe if you planned just a little more with that it would work better and you wouldn't have to feel so stressed and be rushing everyone and feeling behind all day. Just a thought...we have a loose rhythm of the day that we work with...our family works better with general blocks of time that we work with instead of overly specific. <br /><br />But if you feel that this new schedule is what you need to do...then you can count on my prayers as you navigate your way through! :D<br /><br />Hope all goes just the way you need it to with a little elbow room for the unexpected in each day. ;-)<br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />Mrs Mary Joy PershingMary Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898673791443240816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-78798990619664078312011-08-30T08:12:36.488-05:002011-08-30T08:12:36.488-05:00I've had schedules that have worked wonderfull...I've had schedules that have worked wonderfully in different seasons of my life.
