Tuesday
Schedule is the same, except Steve gets dropped off at the college at 8:30am for class and is picked up at 10:00am when the class is finished. Katie is done with school at 2:00. Joe and Steve have fencing class from 1:00pm-3:00pm. Paige and Allie have dance class from 5:00pm-6:00pm. Madelyn has dance classes from 6:00pm-8:00pm.

Wednesday
Similar schedule for school. Katie is finished at the library at 1:00pm and doesn't have class. No other lessons or classes. We will spend the afternoon and early afternoon at the new house working on painting etc.

Thursday
Joe, Madelyn, and Steve deliver papers in the afternoon. Similar school schedule. Steve has class the same times as Tuesday. Katie has classes the same as Tuesday and the same as Tuesday's work schedule at the library. Madelyn and Joe have confirmation classes from 7:00pm-8:30pm.

Friday
No one has classes or outside activities. The children work independently on their studies in the morning and keep an eye on the younger girls. I leave at 7:30am to pick up Amy at college, because she has tutoring jobs Friday afternoons. Laundry in the afternoon and evening.

Saturday
Work on housework and laundry in the morning. Katie cleans the neighbor's house in the morning. Spend the afternoon at the new house in preparation for moving. I will probably move some items each time we drive over to the new house.

Sunday
Church. Afternoon nap

The children have until 8:00am the following morning to complete any school work that is not finished during the allotted school time.

It's going to be really hectic, while we are getting the new house ready. There will probably be days when we don't go to the new house, because we need to rest. At some point, we will be purchasing a van for me. Katie is planning on purchasing a car sometime this fall. Once she has transportation, my schedule will lighten.
