A day in my life
I’m not supermom, nor do I claim to be. I do have a system for making sure that things get done despite the fact that my husband works 80 hours per week and I do not use daycare for my children.
From September-March I am in school. I will be finishing my last 15 hours of undergrad this year. Last term was quite chaotic, so I’ve learned a lot from that.
This summer all three boys are home with me all day. My husband is at work at 4am, when I get up. He is gone until 3pm on an “early” day and closer to 5pm on a late day. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday he sleeps during the day after working third shift at time. Or sometimes he works during the day instead of sleeping. Yeah. I know.
Anyway, I have a daily schedule to make sure we get all of the important stuff in. Each day is a bit different so that we don’t get bored. The boys love it. I have time written in for me to write (that’d be what I’m doing at 4am. lol) to clean, and even to shower. Seriously, if I don’t write it in, it won’t get done.
The schedule will change when school starts again. When the boys are involved in different activities in the evenings we’ll write those in, too. When I see that something we’ve been doing is really working well, we change it.

Allison,
Blog about your system of getting things done! I need it. Enjoyed hearing your schedule with the boys. You have a great attitude about being home “alone” so much!
