Our Master Plan (Take Two)

The Chagim just finished less than a week ago and we are all slowly recovering. Laundry is getting done, routines and schedules are being created again and tomorrow we are hopefully going to see if we can tweak our "Master Plan" a bit to work a bit better for us.

It really wasn't working for me to be working with all 3 kids at the same time. I like the idea of all us all being able to sit down for an hour and get it all done but it became clear really quickly that right now all of my kids need my individual attention and are not that skilled at working independently. 

The new plan is to stick with our morning routine - but instead of the kids doing 1 hour of minecraft time after that they will have 1.5 hours of research time. 

I'm hoping that I will be able to spend about 45 minutes with each kid while the other two have their research time. This is basically watching approved educational videos. 

Oh, another thing I'm aware of is that I really can't sleep until 8:30 or 9am and expect the morning to go well. So my new goal is 8 am and I'm hoping that will be more than enough sleep. 

I'm also really hoping that the kids will start going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier.
