~The Daily Routine~

Good morning! We all have our own daily routines-with or without children-here's my morning/early afternoon routine. Here is how mine usually goes. In the morning when I open my eyes it's usually because Josiah is crying for a bottle and diaper change-so that's what I do first.
After that my second thought of the day is COFFEE! 
I get the pot of coffee on which seems to take forever to brew. 
Soon after that the older children wake up. I get breakfast ready for all of them and change Julian's diaper. Then soon after that we get school work started while the babies watch a movie.
After school work Julian is usually ready for his nap. The older kids find something to do-watch a movie, go outside, etc... While the babies nap and the older ones are occupied that is when I do the chores and Mylot for a bit.
There's my daily routine for the morning and early afternoon. =)
The cuties in the picture are my niece Anna and my son Josiah

@DianneN Thank you! Thank God the older 3 are much older than the babies because they help more than anything else.

I never did home school my kids. Must be interesting to have them all a little different ages and all.

@celticeagle It's not too bad. Their all close in age so schooling is close to the same level for all of them.

When do you get to use the bathroom?

@lovingmybabies oh my goodness!!! It has been years since I have been on mylot and I have thought about you. It is so good to come back to mylot and to have seen your post. I hope you and all your children are doing well. I will have to definitely read your other post and try to catch up on how your family is doing. I hope that if your still doing daycare in your home that it is going well for you and your family and that your financial hardships have passed.

You have a great routine down. I need to find a better way to get things done around here. At the moment the floor dotted with toys and books. It is difficult to get my Little Miss to pick up after herself. This is especially hard when she isn't feeling well.
Forget about housework. I started a load of dishes a half hour ago and she wants snuggle time. Now she is after a bobber that she just spied. Can't convince her that it isn't a ball!

@LovingMyBabies mine could have cared less if we went somewhere or not. It was always a challenge to get them to help me out. So, if someone came to visit and they mentioned that my floor looked like it could use a broom I would direct them to where it was stored. LOL.

@Elusivebutterfly Thank you! I have always made cleaning a game. When they got older and weren't interested in games anymore bribing became my best friend. Lol. Get the chores done and we will go somewhere special. With 5 kids whatever works is good with me!

That is a good routine that you have. Mine is simple. I wake up and almost do the same things everyday, just to keep me focus

@MALUSE Thanks I'm not sure that I am but I am laid back with most things which definitely helps in the patience department.

@simpleliving3251120 Thank you! I don't do errands because I don't drive so we wait until my husband gets home from work to go shopping and such. =)
