Day 49: A year of working?

Not sure what to say today...I walked and I stretched. it felt good doing both, but I still have a long way to go.

Obviously I have a long way to go with walking - since the goal is to enjoy the journey for a whole year. What I mean, is in terms of a good working schedule, sticking to the good working schedule and having everything fall into place...or mostly in place.

Between the holidays, various illnesses and the bed bugs my routine has been thrown completely out of whack.

If it was just me or just Steve and I than no big deal...but the children need a better routine.

The one thing I have learned these past few weeks is that my son needs more opportunities to work and it needs to be a daily opportunity. He can work, he just complains, grumbles, fights, whines, attempts to negotiate, etc. - it takes him longer to do all of that then it does to do the actual work!

A couple of years ago, I focused on reading classics to the children. We read all the time and had a day where all we did was read. I loved it. I am wondering if something similar with work would be good for the children...especially Zack. If nothing else, I would have a super clean house!
