I'm sure they did so much more work each day than I do haha I read the Little House books to the girls and I'm tired just from thinking about all the daily chores they had!

Right now I'm stuck in the "ahhhh company is coming quick throw everything in the closet" mode. I think I will give scheduling a little try and see if it works! :) Bethannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03421190104774365179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-1781070680132795342013-09-19T14:27:23.146+02:002013-09-19T14:27:23.146+02:00I got thinking...and internet searching... and tho...I got thinking...and internet searching... and thought this was interesting history:<br /><br />"This is what my grandmother told me:<br /><br />Wash on Monday was because it was the most labor-intensive of the jobs. Being rested up from Sunday would help you have the energy for such a big chore and to wash the Sunday best before stains set.<br /><br />Iron on Tuesday just made sense, being right after wash day. Ironing was really important to kill bugs' eggs and other things we don't really have to worry about these days.<br /><br />Mending made sense on Wednesday because you've already looked over the clothing during washing and ironing, so you can take note of what needs mending and do it while everything is out and ready.<br /><br />Churn on Thursday-- not sure! [I'm guessing it's because they were going to need butter for baking and cooking the big weekend meals.]<br /><br />Clean on Friday to get ready for the Sabbath.<br /><br />Bake on Saturday so you could have fresh rolls, etc, for the Sabbath day. [They took resting seriously so there wasn't much cooking or cleaning going on Sundays.]"<br /><br />I've been thinking about schedules and routines too. I'd like to get a glimpse into your daily routine sometime ;)...especially since you talked about adding some pre-k into it. I need to bring a little more structure to our days and I'd like some insight! <br /><br />I miss you and love you and the family!! So glad you're having a blast with your family! - CassieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-35878373118124032722013-09-08T13:48:16.972+02:002013-09-08T13:48:16.972+02:00I haven't ever heard of that website I'll ...I haven't ever heard of that website I'll have to check it out!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777280961954748110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-45746373259079188872013-09-08T13:47:40.103+02:002013-09-08T13:47:40.103+02:00Yeah I always remember Saturday mornings to be &qu...Yeah I always remember Saturday mornings to be "clean the house day" but I can totally understand that because who wants to dust when you get home from work at 5pm? Also many hands made light(er) work, right?

I might have to replace "iron" with something a bit more realistic though, ha. I have heard a TON of people like the flylady website....looked overwhelming to me but I bet my house would thank me...mirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052394218089165385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-46737107493935786012013-09-07T15:05:59.943+02:002013-09-07T15:05:59.943+02:00I tried that sort of a schedule when you guys were...I tried that sort of a schedule when you guys were little (and I was working) . . . unfortunately as you probably remember, I usually ended up CLEANING THE WHOLE HOUSE on my day off (Saturday) every week. In this empty-er nest season of life, it's easier to choose a chunk for every day and not have to do it all at once (but not always successful) I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GET ON A PLANE ON MONDAY TO COME SEE YOU!!!!!!!

I wish we had a separate play room... maybe in our next house ;o) And agreed, toddlers' sticky messes are so gross if you don't clean them up right away!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777280961954748110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128153839401266850.post-37820984001622242262013-09-07T07:45:03.570+02:002013-09-07T07:45:03.570+02:00I tried the schedule thing, never stuck to it :/. ...I tried the schedule thing, never stuck to it :/. It's a bit easier now that there is a separate play room and we made a rule to keep toys in there. But I clean maybe once a week Lol. Things I started doing daily is wiping down chairs( they get so nasty with toddlers),laundry, sweeping, and putting dishes straight to the dishwasher instead of the sink. If I could get my husband to help my life would be soo much easier but he seriously makes a bigger mess than the girls!Carrie Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03189702549548898979noreply@blogger.com
