Fall 2011 Routine

Something I've learned recently (duh!) is that routines needs constant tweaking. Our lives are always changing, so routines need tweaking too, at least once a season, if not more! :) Here's mine (as of now!) for this fall.

Monday

AM- I am signing up for MOPS this year, so this will be every other Mon morning. On the off days, I plan to take K to do something fun if I don't have a lot to do at home.

PM- Deep clean kitchen.

• Declutter
• Clean counters
• Bleach out sinks
• all dishes done, of course
• Sweep & mop floors
• Clean one appliance

Tuesday

Cleaning Day!

• Pick up the house
• I either clean the bathrooms, clean all the floors, or dust, but not all (call me lazy ;) )
• Pick 1 other deep cleaning chore
• Empty all trash cans
• water plants

Wednesday

Office/Car Day. We have play dates on this day too about once a month.

• Clean out car & do one other "car chore"
• Bills, budget
• Emails, cards, plan gifts, phone calls, appointments, etc.
• Menu plan/grocery list

Thursday

K goes to a kids' program

Errand Day/whatever day for me

• Grocery store
• Run other errands
• Work on hobbies, read @ Starbucks, etc. 

Friday

Hobby & Laundry Day

• Work on hobbies- blog, scrap booking, internet, reading, etc.
• Start laundry in the afternoon (it's getting too much to do all in one day)

Saturday

Yard/Laundry/Family Day

• Yard work
• Finish laundry
• Fold/hang up laundry
• We do fun stuff as a family this day (if John's off, that is)
