I've been thinking about how we organize things as a family. So many times half the day slips by and we're just getting started with our academics. Here's a post from my lifejournal :

I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate… to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
--Leo Rosten


Our problem areas:
  • Not enough Mom.
  • Getting up too late (especially Bard)
  • Taking too long to get breakfast and other
    meals
  • Not getting meals on time and everyone being too
    tired and grumpy
  • Too much housework each day
  • Not enough storage space for school
    materials
  • Not preparing for the school day in the evening
    before
 
How to solve those problems:
  • Find a way to involve Bohemian (dh).
  • Getting to bed on time and getting up
    earlier.
  • Have breakfast foods ready the night
    before
  • Making sure to plan meals, like getting food in
    the crockpot, etc.
  • Not sure how to solve the housework
    problem.
  • Not sure how to solve the storage problem, except
    to buy a small storage barn
  • Have an evening meeting before reading time to go
    over what was completed and set goals for the next day. Keep notes from that
    meeting on LifeJournal.
