The Journal issue

[violet]

So how does the organizing home journal work in a house full of older kids? I am now looking for some information for eldest ds's assignment, which he's been working on for days. I've made lunch for younger ds, then dh, then eldest ds. Now dd is calling me, asking me to collect her from the train station and take her for some driving practice. Thankfully I've talked dh into doing that, as I still need to vacuum the house! The washing machine has nearly finished yet another load, which will need to be hung out, once the basket is emptied.

If you use a journal, do you simply not veer from the allotted times, or what??

I am not exactly sure I know what is in a journal, but I think I do.

Today mine popped up, I keep forgetting what days he has this study time.

I agree Violet, everything seems different now the kids are older, or some of them. I kept thinking it is me that has changed. Maybe not. ;D

That's the one they sell, and if you squint lol you can see where it's to be filled in.

The suggestion is that everything that needs to be done in a day goes in the journal. I don't think the flylady woman has teens though.

One of our newer members homespun has a beautiful one, but I can't remember what she called it, so my attempts to g. search home journal came up with the magazine lol.

However, this lady has older children,

not sure if it helps.

It gets confusing, as this one is something different again.
