I'm back now and no longer angry about the well pump issue. That's life, right?
Here is my perfectly planned daily schedule for next year:
5:15-5:45 -- Get my sweat on. (Run, pushups, burpees, situps, etc.) I want a regular exercise schedule so badly, but it's nearly impossible right now. Next year, I'm sure it will be easier, like this:

5:45-6:00 -- Shower and look awesome in 15 minutes or less. Probably look like this when I"m done:

6:00-6:15 -- Eat food that was prepared overnight and set plates for the boys' breakfasts.
6:15-noon -- Work on Generation Next nonprofit stuff, which includes social media, development, event planning, and grant writing. (Did you know I was doing this? I am. And so excited about it!) I will need to work about 25-35 hours a week to financially help the family survive the times.
We plan to have a college girl live with us for free again and watch the boys for a few hours a day. Surely the boys will sleep in until at least 7:30 each day, right?
Kids will be dressed like this:

12:00-12:30 -- Cook and eat homemade organic amazing meals full of veggies and whole foods. They will also be pleasing to the eye and tastebuds, like this:




12:30-1:00 -- Teach Brody to read chapter books and help him understand theologically sound doctrine. Teach Brecken to speak one full sentence.
1:00-3:30 -- Boys nap for 2.5 hours. I will complete daily household tasks, such as folding laundry, cleaning, doing dishes, wiping gunk off of the floor from lunch, and paying bills. Then I'll do more GN work.
House will look like this:




Also in the afternoon: My friend's sweet baby will come to my house so I can watch him. My boys will instantly become more kind, considerate and caring. :o)
3:30-4:00 -- Craft time. The boys and I will probably make some things that look like this:




4:00-5:00 -- Outdoor fun time! Probably exactly like this:


5:00-5:15 -- "Sensory" play activity for development -- Remind me to Google what that means, exactly.
5:15-6:00 -- Dinner will magically cook itself because of my excessively awesome cooking skills (hmm) and our entire family (and maybe my friend's baby, if he's there) will all eat together and enjoy life, stress-free. Dinners will look like this:




6:00-7:00 -- Family time: Outside play time or reading time.
7:00-7:30 -- Unwind time for all. Like this:

7:30-8:00 -- Bedtime baths, teeth-brushing, Bible-reading and prayers. ZZZ's for kids.
8:00-9:00 -- Brad and I will watch Parenthood while I coupon, craft, or do volunteer work. Because Brad just loves to watch Parenthood.
Crafts will probably look like this, after I learn to sew and take great photographs, of course:




9:00-10:00 -- Pack a lunch for Bradlee, BSF study time, finish reading through the Bible in a year.
10:00 -- Bedtime (Sadly, this is over an hour past my current bedtime.)
The boys will sleep all the way through the night every night and wake up around 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning. I'll also volunteer at Convoy of Hope and our adoption agency, and we'll do foster care or begin another adoption while waiting to bring Sweet C home. :o)
