It's a great way to make money.<br /><br />Once I knew what she wanted cleaned each week I made up a schedule to make MY job easier, and I do it the same way every week. <br /><br />That way I don't have to stand around and try and figure out what to do. I already have a plan.<br /><br />For example, I clean bathrooms, entry and laundry room on Monday. I also dust and vacuum her craft room.<br /><br />I only clean 1.5 hours a day for three days a week because I am also taking care of her developmentally disabled daughter after school. I have to listen for her school bus which is why I throw in the craft room when I'm doing bathrooms, since I'm already upstairs in that part of the house.<br /><br />The other school days I don't clean.momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451057414411504623.post-46880133362364996852012-06-27T20:47:30.334-05:002012-06-27T20:47:30.334-05:00Amen!

I did not want them playing on the computer or watching t.v. all day either. <br /><br />So we had to set limits and they played outside a lot and played board games or had play dates with friends. But is does taking planning, doesn't it?<br /><br />I found that if we didn't have some guidelines in place (like a limited media/electronic time), then it would be so easy for me to just get lazy and let them watch t.v. or play on the computer.<br /><br />It does take some "mom" planning and monitoring and redirecting as you said, but it's definitely worth it!momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451057414411504623.post-12694078127780429812012-06-23T21:15:56.884-05:002012-06-23T21:15:56.884-05:00I know what it's like to think your wonder wom...I know what it's like to think your wonder woman and realize your not.

Seems like I always make my to do list longer than I could possibly accomplish, then I feel unproductive at the end of the day no matter how much I did do. I didn't do it all. Thanks for the reminder to be realistic about what I can do and not compromise those things I need--a nap and some time to read!! <br /><br />MB<br />newlifesteward.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890681417567978498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451057414411504623.post-27758927864052401962012-06-21T15:49:41.081-05:002012-06-21T15:49:41.081-05:00I have no idea how old your kiddos are but summer ...I have no idea how old your kiddos are but summer was always a good time to get them in the habit of doing their chores, then when school started it was a no brainer. Simple chores but even the smallest can walk around and pick up toys. It's a good thing to know you aren't wonder women. I had to teach my dear hubby, "you did not marry wonder woman!" Ha! Enjoy your summer :)<br /><br />http://theemptynestexpress.comMs. Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296728970210715746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451057414411504623.post-70349233144493093522012-06-21T11:48:43.063-05:002012-06-21T11:48:43.063-05:00Nice post.Nice post.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451057414411504623.post-83351909681506698862012-06-21T08:30:58.978-05:002012-06-21T08:30:58.978-05:00I've been using the book Common Prayer for my ...I've been using the book Common Prayer for my daily Bible study as well as focus on one chapter from Proverbs each week. This week I was struck by Prov. 2:20-22 --<br />So—join the company of good men and women, <br /> keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths.<br />It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land, <br /> the women with integrity who will last here.<br />The corrupt will lose their lives; <br /> the dishonest will be gone for good.<br />(The Message). <br />Women with integrity will last -- I want to be a woman of integrity.<br /><br />Blessings!<br />Melanie at http://musingsandmeanderings-mlp.blogspot.com/2012/06/thankful-thursday-24.htmlMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830964784682748651noreply@blogger.com
