Life has been crazy lately. I have been trying to come up with a daily schedule, I find by the time everything is done and the kids and Ben are taken care of I have no time left for myself.
Here is the schedule.
6am wake and take the dogs outside.( Kids normally start to stir around the same time)
6:20 shower, dress, and throw a load of clothes in the washer
6:45 start getting kids dressed for the day
7:15 make breakfast
7:45 review Scotties backpack making sure all homework has my initials
8:00 clear off table, try to get the kids to get their shoes on, spend a few minutes with Scottie
8:35 take Scottie to the bus
9:00 dishes and kitchen
10:00 snack time for Sydney and Mattie, try to get the clothes to the dryer
10:30 pick up living room, bedrooms, and laundry room
11:15 start making lunch ( I finially get to eat)
12:00 put Matt down for his nap, watch some TV or play with Sydney
1:00 Fold all clothes and watch Days while doing this
2:00 Snack for Sydney, Organize something in the house
3:00 Matt wakes snack time, Sweep and mop living room, kitchen and laundry room if needed
( which it needs it every day)
4:00 Start dinner
4:20 get Scottie from the bus
4:30 Scottie homework
5:00 eat dinner
5:30 Scottie reads for at least 20 mins while I clean kitchen again
6:15 Bath time (Ben gets home from work between now and 7)
7:00 Matt goes to bed
7:15 Kids snack time, O straighten the house again.
8:00 Scottie and Sydney go to bed I try to sit and watch TV with Ben for at least 30 mins
8:30 Ben goes to bed, I go through Scotties back pack, make his lunch if needed, make his snack for the next day at school
9:00 Check e-mail call someone
9:30 Get ready for bed, make sure all dishes are in dishwasher and start it
10:00 Bed time for me
I am exhausted by the end of the day. I try not to ask Ben to help out because I know that he is tired with the long commute. I have got to figure out a new way to do things around here. Any suggestions please let me know! Yeah we all wish we could find the magic formula right?
We are still liking the area here. But I have decided that I do not like the big city anymore. Not saying I couldn't get used to it again, but I don't want my kids raised in it. Scottie went from a school with maybe 300 kids to a school with 1200 kids. He is having a hard time adjusting to it. He is having trouble making friends. I feel so bad for him. So tonight Ben is taking him down to join cub scouts. He really wants to join. I hope so because its going to cost me a fortune!
Sydney and Matthew are doing great. Matt keeps me busy, He is into everything. So today I orderd enough door locks to lock every door inthe house. He won't be able to open them for a while. I have one and Syd still cannot open it. http://store.babycenter.com/product/safety_baby_care/safety/household_safety/3969?stage=
Hopefully they don't figure it out to quick. I was stoked because I bought the last one Wal-Mart had a few weeks ago for $7 for 1, I found a great sale, so I opdered 6 of them. Well I am off.. Cleanning awaits. Hope everyone is doing good. We miss you all..
Oh and we got our new puppy,
She is great we love her to pieces

Hey Veronica,
Love the picture of the puppy and Mattie :)
Sorry you're still trying to adjust to it all, it's a huge change for you guys. Hope Scottie starts enjoying school and making friends, Jasmine misses him a lot and wishes he was in her class this year.
Just wanted to drop in and say hi, on my way to the doctors now.
Will give you a call next week,
