I start 'school' with
Tobin:

min: He reads to me
15
min: I read to him, fairy tales, currently
5-10 min: handwriting, K4 notebook or now just name practice, nothing formal
here
|
9: or 9:15a.m
|
G and T may go to the market with our helper, or just G goes.
This gives me a 30 minute window to workout (Kettlebells on
MWF). My particular workout has me able to keep an eye on Tobin and check on
him every 8 minutes (total 24 minutes), this works great if he is outside or
something. I run on Tues/Thurs, but I try to do that before waking hours. If
I do it here I try to limit it to 30-40 minutes. I take a quick shower, or if
doing something real active with kids, I just go play with them.

get anything ready for
the rest of the day, meal prep, etc. has to happen here and then I play

complete LA and then I intro her math for her to do then or later.

Sophia from school, otherwise I help get lunch ready and we try to eat at
