For those of you that know Flylady, you’ll know about morning and night routines. In order to get anything done around here I need routines otherwise I find myself spending to much time on the computer and not enough time doing the things that need to be done to make our household run smoothly.

My routines are broken up into morning, mid-morning, afternoon and night time routines.

I am managing to get my morning routine and night routines done but I am struggling with the mid-morning and afternoon routines.

So this week I am going to work on getting those routines done.
