Stop whining, start solving
Sep. 23rd, 2009 03:28 pmProposed daily schedule.
7:30 Everyone awake
Get dressed, wash faces, come down for breakfast.
Make breakfast.
8:00 Eat breakfast, together. Discuss plan for the day.
8:30 Family walk around neighborhood.
9:00 Go our separate ways. Jake upstairs to work, takes computer. Kids and I work on activities, play outside, library etc.
Make lunch.
12:00 Eat lunch together.
Julie gets computer for half hour.
12:30 or 1:00, Jake goes back upstairs to work. Julie takes computer up after half hour.
Kids play outside, we do activities, run errands, etc. Chores.
3:00 Jake comes down for a break. Relaxes, talks to us, plays with kids. Gets his mail.
3:30 Jake back upstairs to work.
Make dinner.
6:15 Eat dinner together. Work done for the day, unless we specifically make plans and agree to give Jake extra alone time.
7:15 Start bedtime: baths, pajamas, brush teeth, read books, tuck in, lights out at 8:15.
ADULT TIME. Discuss issues about kids, household, work, etc. Work together to solve any issues. Prepare for the next day: kid activities to set up, ingredients to assemble, plan outings, coordinate our schedules, relax.
Somewhere in there Julie gets an hour or two of alone time (see the problem...?) for knitting or running personal errands, bath, watching something on netflix, etc.
Designated work times, designated family times. Let's see what Jake wants to tweak. I know some things are spur of the moment, or he needs breaks at different times or whatever, but I want some guidelines. We have to make this work, or it won't work.
