MPM & Monday Meanderings

Another busy week behind me, another busy week ahead of me, my to do list is always full – but if I do it all to glorify God, serving my family is a joy instead of a chore. So here goes!

1.) Bible Study: Morning devotions using this site to study my bible chronologically. Also, catching up on the sermon I missed this Sunday via podcast and working on scripture memorization. (Yes, I missed another one! The kids caught colds last weekend and are still SICK. )

2.) “MUST Do” List:

• Stick to my daily schedule (as God allows) for morning devotions, taking care of the home and home-schooling.
• Finish organizing papers & bills, especially taking care of the Action pile. – Didn’t work on that at all last week, and now it’s to the point that I HAVE to get it ALL done THIS week. *sigh*
• Finish organizing Princess’ worksheet binder for school. (I didn’t get this done last week either, but I’m striking it from the list til next week considering the previous task.)
• Make more laundry soap!! (I have enough left for one more load!)
• Iron Big Daddy’s clothes for each day, as a labor of love.

3.) Taking Care of My Home:

Daily Chores and then focus on these areas for weekly chores:

• Monday – Kitchen; Wash Lights
• Tuesday – Dining Room; Wash Darks
• Wednesday – Living Room; Wash Towels & Little Prince’s Bedding
• Thursday – Master Bedroom & Bathroom; Wash Lights & Master Bedding
• Friday – Kids’ Rooms; Wash Darks & Girls’ Bedding

4.) Training My Children:

• Daily basics (Math, Grammar, Handwriting, Spelling, Reading)
• History – I’ve decided to hang out on Ancient Greece another week.
• Science – More about plants. Did do science, but didn’t plant any seeds to grow last week, will try to get to that this week.
• Life Lessons from the Princess and the Kiss
