Starting to be a SAHM
Well, next week officially starts off being a SAHM. Actually it is only part time, because the boys will be at childcare 2x per week, to ensure that I rest and keep this baby healthy. The first of my many goals is to organize our lives. We are creating both weekly and daily schedules, so that the boys are prepared and adjust to the changes to come.
So far the weekly schedule, for the home is:
1. Monday – Laundry (every second week change sheets)
2. Tuesday – Vacuuming
3. Wednesday – Bathrooms
4. Thursday – Organizing (pick on area and sort out, remove what we do not need)
5. Friday – Weekly Menu Planning
6. Saturday thru Saturday – Free Days, no specific cleaning duties.
Our morning wake-up routine will be:
Wake Up
Get Dressed
Make Beds
Eat Breakfast
Brush Hair
Brush Teeth
I am hoping to institute therapeutic snack time 3x per week (if money allows).
Speaking of money, we definitely will need to get better control of this. My examination of our funds this month showed that we spent 2x what Brian will bring in. If we cannot control ourselves our savings will be gone in no time.
Our garden is growing beautifully and we are making use of the farmer’s market to the best of our abilities.
I will post pics of our schedules, the boys transition strips, and other organizing as soon as possible.
