My normal routine

 I am not going to lie I am lazy, or I get Side tracked very easily. Not sure which one it is. I am going to go with the side track one. 

I didn’t really have a routine at the beginning of the year but due to lock down and after a few months of just feeling fed up with it I’ve got myself into a routine when Summer went back to school. It’s a lot better than it was but deafly needs improving as I don’t normally get out of my pyjamas until about 11.00am And leave for work at 11.20am.

 Ok I only work 10 mins down the road and only work for 1 hour and 45 mins a day. As I work as a midday in a primary school. Basically I look after the kids at lunch in the playground. It’s not a hard Job well sometimes it can depending on what year I have. But saying that I enjoy my job I enjoy the random conversation that the kids have we me, And they can be very random. I have completely gone of track. (see side tracked again) 

But the point I was trying to make is that I don’t have to get dressed, until the last minute. And when I finished work it’s only 30 minutes until summer home from school. As she on a shorter timetable at school. So I feel like I have really shorts day at the moment.  

Here is a rough schedule. 

7.30 - This is the time I wake up, but don’t really move my eyes will occasionally open, and might say a few words to my family like morning and how did you sleep. 

8.00 - This time my husband normally put a cup of tea Next to the bed for me. This is about the time I start to sit up make sure summer is getting ready for school, and I will check my phone for anything that I’ve missed overnight. 

8.30 - I’ve now managed to make my way out of bed, usually the husband is now in the study doing his work. I can now go and see summer, she at the age where I just have to leave her to get ready because if I go in there to early while she still getting ready she will have a moan at me. So it’s best to avoid sometime. 

9.00 - by now Summer has gone to school, I have gone downstairs to get myself some breakfast at the moment is usually Weetabix. ( well Tesco own Version) and I will be sitting at the kitchen table with the laptop on ready for an hour of going other things for my Etsy shop. 

10.00 - This is when I normally have A quick tidy around, normally stuff like the washing up. Tidying the beds. And given Summer‘s room a quick once over.  This can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depends on what I get done and how much I actually get sidetracked, which is probably very likely. 

11.00 - if I am not dressed already for work this will be a time where I’ll have to get dressed. As I’ve got to leave in about 20 minutes sometimes earlier if I go to the shops 1st to post parcels that I’ve got from Etsy.  

2.00 - this is the time of normally get home, and when I get home I really need a cup of tea and just to sit down in peace for a few minutes. And normally need away as wee as well. This could last for half an hour, normally because I get sidetracked watching something on YouTube or prime or going on Pinterest and just browsing but normally my husband will make an appearance downstairs to make himself some lunch or another coffee. So that normally kicks me out of it. So I have a little tidy of the front room but then I go back to watching something for the other half an hour. 

3.00 - Summer normally gets home around this time don’t know why it takes us so long to get home sometimes but it does. If she’s in the right mood or sit down and have a chat about the school day while she has a snack and a drink. Then go through what her plan for the evening is if she’s got lots of homework she normally starts there about four for an hour or two depending on how much she has been given. But on Wednesdays and Thursdays are her dancing and acro days so the times in the evening changed slightly. 

4.00 - this is the time as someone will be sitting doing her homework for a bit in her room I do like to be nearby in case she needs any help I don’t really want to get stuck into something may I get annoyed if she comes and asked for help. Normally at this time and work out what to do for dinner washing clothes, and more just getting sidetracked with the technology normally. 

The rest of the evening 

   The rest of the evening is normally filled up with cooking dinner tidying up after dinner having some family time watching a film or playing a game as of last night we played Monopoly, which I came second in and Summer came first the poor hubby came last. Pretty sure he let Summer win though. As he was keeping her the airports for a cheap price. I normally just go over Summer‘s homework to make sure it’s done right and looks presentable. Make sure her bag is packed as I usually have to remind her about five times to do this the night before. When it’s bedtime routine the teeth bed wash etc and we are normally in bed between 10pm and 11pm.

As you can see I get sidetracked a lot, I would like to fit more into my day and I know I can It’s just getting the motivation to do it.
