It’s finally Friday!! School is out for the week and the next two days I do not need to worry about getting the boys to their school bus on time. Shuttling the kids in and out the door four times a day, cooking and cleaning after them has been exhausting.
Every day starts out with getting the boys uniforms laid out and preparing breakfast before waking everyone up. I have to keep a eye on the clock to make sure that Roy gets to his school bus on time as he leaves earlier then his brother. After sending of the little brother it is grocery shopping time if we need to stock up for the week. Both Ryan and Riona will accompany me to the buy the groceries. We have to make it a quick trip as the girl fusses quite a bit if we stay out too long as she is still on a 2hr feeding cycle.
Once home I have to put the laundry to wash, prepare lunch and check if Ryan has completed his homework and music practice before he goes off to school after lunch. After sending the eldest off to school it is time for doing the laundry and other chores while spending time teaching the girl. I’ve started introducing the Japanese alphabet to her and from next week we will be doing music and movement on top of our regular schedule.
If the girl is sleeping I’ll be folding the clothes and doing my Wii Active Sports 15-20 min workout. I’m hoping that this short time I set aside to do some exercise daily will help in my weight lost regime. (I’m aiming to lose the remaining 14 kg before Riona turns 6mths old in 3 mths time. )
After a short break checking my e-mails and writing posts to my blog it would be time to prepare and cook dinner before the boys return home. Once they return it is back to making sure they finish their dinner, have their bath, complete their homework before it’s lights out for them.
How is your daily schedule like?

My youngest is a Senior in high school so thankfully those days are behind me, but still need to add my 2 cents about homework to both him and my youngest daughter who will be starting her 2nd semester in college Monday. A mom’s job is never done.
