They're back in school! Hurray!
But boo on me having to wake up at 6 AM every bloody morning to wake up the eldest then to wake up the eldest boy then the remaining two girls and finally the hubby and twins.
My routine so far these last three weeks (except Wednesdays).
6 AM - Get up, wake up eldest then take a shower myself while she gets ready in her bathroom.
6:30 AM - Finish getting dressed, make eldest breakfast.
7:15 AM - See eldest off to the bus, go back inside, wake up eldest boy if he's not awake by then.
7:30 AM - Feed him breakfast then brush his teeth. Wake up remaining two sisters.
7:45 AM - Get his backpack and shoes (soon to add coat to that). Give girls their breakfast.
7:55 AM - Meet his bus and send him off.
8 AM - Brush girls' hairs, make sure they brush their teeth. Wake up hubby.
8:20 AM - See hubby and girls off. Hubby walks them to school before catching bus to work. (I've banned him from driving since he ended up with three more speeding tickets in almost as many weeks back in July/August.)
8:30 - 9 AM - try to wake up self since I'm usually ready to go back to sleep.
9 AM - Twins wake up, bathe them and dress them.
9:30 AM - Breakfast for twins, wash dishes, check email from teachers.
10 AM - Clean living room, do some laundry.
11:25 AM - Eldest boy arrives home.
Noon - Lunch
12:30 PM - Put boys down for nap if lucky otherwise, work with them on pre-school and kindergarten books then send them to watch some tv or play outside while I do some yard work.
2 PM - Put boys down for nap if they didn't have one earlier. ONE hour of free time for self... Yeah right.
2:45 PM - Eldest girl gets home from school.
3:20 PM - Other two girls gets home school.
3:30 PM - 6:30 PM homework, homework, homework for four of them.
6:30 PM - Dinner
7:30 PM - Start getting the kids to take showers and get ready for bed.
9 PM - Kids off to bed.
10 PM - 11 PM - I crash and go to bed.
THIS week's schedule will be different then the first weeks of school. This week we add that I'll have to take the eldest boy BACK to school on Wednesday from 1 to 2 PM for therapy (he has three different types of therapy due to his Apraxia). Mondays he has more therapy after school so I'll have to pick him up like around noon. Let's see, open house at two of the three schools. Oh, twins have another appointment with their preschool teacher some time this week. Orthodontist appointment for one of the girls this week. Crap, and a whole hell of a lot of other things going on this way as well. I need to go through the papers to add times and dates to my new organizer.
I'm tired!
