Many are the plans in a person’s heart,

With the spring semester starting back and soccer still in full swing it has been a job in itself trying to keep everything balanced. So instead of winging it like I did last semester, I have went back to the methods that helped me when I was first starting at as a wife and mother and that is a PLAN. A plan that include a weekly chore chart and a menu plan. I have been follwing this schedule now for a few weeks now, I actually started it about week before I went back to school and things have been running pretty smoothly. I am posting my plans below, these have been scheduled around my class times, soccer practices and church.
Mondays: Declutter Desk /Water flowers/Sweep porches/clean upstairs hallway and stairs (trash day)
Tuesdays: Dust, Wipe down all light switches door knobs etc with disinfectant sprays..
Wednesday: Laundry / Mop/vaccum floors Grocery Shopping and other Errands (church)
Thursday: Bathrooms (trash day)
Fridays: Deep Clean Kitchen ( oven, pantry, refrigerator, cabinets) water flowers
Saturdays: Laundry/vaccum out cars (soccer games)/ clean out trash cans
Sundays: School clothes ironed for the week/backpacks ready/prepare menus (church)
This list isnt the bible...if I need to mop or dust etc before the proposed date then I do it. Cleaning the kitchen and picking up things daily is a must as well. Its up to you how you do it.
I know it sounds like a lot, but I have family of five and a dog and its a job...but I dont do all these chores alone..my whole family is involved :) takes a village to mess up and takes one to clean up..LOL.
My Menu this week:
Monday- Turkey Burger/Sweet Potatoe Fries/Salad
Tuesday- Herb Roasted Chicken/Brocoli and cheese/Rice
Wednesday- Spaghetti w/Turkey meatballs/salad/garlic bread
Thursday-Leftover Buffet
Friday- Homemade Pizza
Saturday- Polish sausages (grill) w/ onion and green peppers
Sunday- Superbowl finger foods (sliders, dips, treats)
I love your weekly chore plan! I have one, too, and I always feel a little dorky that I have it all planned out. But, you're right, it just helps things to go so smoothly and I don't feel like I"m always behind on cleaning. Glad you're dorky with me. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd your menu sounds yummy! I know whose house I'm coming to for dinner! :-)
