A Typical School Day Around Lizzie's Home

Even though I don't homeschool, I thought it would be helpful to add this post as a permanent fixture in the 'schedules' section in the right hand sidebar. Cause, you know, you might wanna peak over the bloggityville fence from time to time.

This is how a typical school day looks for us. Also, if Hubs wants to drop in and peruse this list he might find an answer to the question 'How hard can it be now the kids are all at school?". Ahem.

Lizzie's School Day Schedule

7:00 am ~ School prep (Master J needs to be ready by 7:45 for taxi pick-up)

8:35 am ~ School run (spend some time in Boofah's classroom, then some time in Miss Moo's)

9:15 am ~ Exercise (usually my daily walk)

10:30 am ~ Break (sometimes a shower is required, plus there's morning tea to eat)

11:00 am ~ Housework (I don't wanna, but I have to, darn it)

1:00 pm ~ Lunch

1:30 pm ~ Study

3:00 pm ~ School run (mad dash home to be here for when Master J's taxi drops him off around 3:40 pm)

4:00 pm ~ Afternoon Routine (kids read to us, have a snack, get changed, have computer time etc)

5:00 pm ~ Dinner prep / Break (depending on what needs doing)

5:30 pm ~ Dinner prep

6:30 pm ~ Dinner

7:00 pm ~ Evening Routine (baths, make lunches, tidy up after dinner etc)

8:00 pm ~ Quiet Time (pick an activity)

8:30 pm ~ Kids' Bedtime / Mum's Down Time

10:30 pm ~ Prep for bed (shower, jammies, etc)

11:00 pm ~ Bedtime

On weekends, and during the school holidays, this list changes enormously. We sleep later for a start, and it seems I finish cleaning up from one meal/snack and they're asking for the next one, LOL. And the list is really just a guideline. Today, for example, I'm ignoring the housework and putting in some extra study time. But this is the aim in an ideal world :P

Cheers,
Lizzie
