Meal Schedule

Breakfast:

Breakfast at our house is a family meal! My husband is a mailman for the United States Postal Service and he does not leave the house until a little after eight in the morning. My children get up at seven and we have a breakfast all together. Nothing fancy (cause I am not a morning person) but in my humble opinion family breakfasts are less about the food and more about starting our day together.

Things to work on:
Cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast! I have a terrible habit of leaving the dishes until lunch (OK sometimes they get left until dinner).

Lunch:

This meal is just me and the kids (one of the many joys of homeschooling, lunch with my children). Hubby is at work (eating a lunch that I packed him) and so the children and I stop our school day at Noon and eat lunch together. Again, nothing fancy because it needs to be quick. The children have a half hour to eat and then a half hour of free time so we make lunch quick and simple.

Things to work on:
Cleaning up after lunch! I have a terrible habit of leaving the dishes until dinner. Do you see a pattern here!?

Dinner:

That is where it usually begins to fall apart! I am tired! It has been a very long day! The kitchen is a MESS (from the breakfast and lunch dishes that never got done). Hubby is working late (I'm thankful for the overtime but I procrastinate dinner and now I'm too tired to actually make it). And so I have hubby grab McDonald's on the way home. FAILURE! We still eat together but I hate that we have spent money we don't have, I hate that my children are not eating things that are healthy, I hate that I failed them again!

Things to work on:
Sticking to my menu and cooking dinner EVERY SINGLE NIGHT WITHOUT FAIL! Cleaning up the kitchen as I work and cook so that I will not be in there for an hour after dinner is over or not be in there at all and wake up to a dirty kitchen (not that that would ever happen).
