I've been thinking about the post I'll do tomorrow. I need your help with it. I want to write a post about how we're all different, yet all similar. I need you to write out, in list form, your daily routine. If it changes each day, I just want one day's list of what you do in a normal day, from when you wake up, until you go to bed at night. If you don't mind, include your town/city or country.
Please send your list to my gmail - the link is over there --------->
Thanks everyone. And now I'm off to start on my apron swap aprons. Life's good. : )

Oh my goodness Routine, I am a totally disorganised Stay at home mum. I struggle with the house work, as i find it completly overwhelming, I never know where to start, and it drives me completly mad, deciding where to put 2 or 3 hundred things everyday, even though most of them have places to go. The things i do routinely are get up and go to bed, everything else happens according to need to guilt. Though to my credit, everybody is well fed with good food made from scratch, i make my childrens, and my own clothes, everyone is happy and lots of creative stuff happens.
ReplyDeleteSo my day could look like this,
-Get up before everyone else, have a coffee check emails, Cook Breakfast, make lunches, do Kids hair generally supervise, send them to school (they walk)
-Have a shower, decisions about what to wear, generaly end up in jeans of black dress, Get next child ready for Kindy, put on a load of washing, Go to Kindy, hang out a while, come home, look at mess, through my arms up in the air, and check the computer again.
-start washing up, half finsish it, hang out washing, make a few calls, more work on washing up. do floors make decisions about where to put things, general despair. thinking about dinner.
-Spend some time painting sewing or doing volunteer stuff.
-Kids home, more food more tidying, fight with kids about tidying. Kid time.
-Do dinner, share meal with Hubby and Kids, basic kitchen tidy.
Day over, time reading, crafts, hubby.
The whole place is this gigantic organic evolving thing, that i totally struggle to keep up with.
I am desperate for help in taming my self, now its back to the washing up. Thanks Jacky

ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteI emailed our routine to your gmail account. I hope it arrives safely.

I emailed you but wrote it in paragraph form. OOPS! Sorry for not following directions.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteI missed the boat on this one, bu I'm looking forward to seeing your post when I get home form work this afternoon. I'm curious as to which pattern you are using for your aprons - you had so many links I can decide what my beginner sewing skills might be capable of - or maybe I should purchase a pattern?
Any thoughts?
Lisa, as usual I am doing the most simple of patterns. If you've ever bought an apron, that is the sort I'm making. Just the tape hooked around the neck and a tie at the waist. I'm putting in a big pocket because I find that really helpful on my own aprons. Although I'm making simple aprons,I spent some time on fabric selection, I asked my partners their colour preference or visited their blogs and tried to find out what they would like without actually asking them. I am embellishing them in a special way and spending some time doing that. Good luck with yours.
ReplyDeleteno more routines please, I have plenty. : )
