Do you have your schedule for the day written down somewhere visible?

Nope I usually just "wing it" lol.....if I have appointments for that day they are posted on my calendar......The kids usually get's up at different times....my oldest has to be at school by 7:10 am, so I'm usually up at 5 making sure everythings ready and getting everyone motivated. If we have an appointment somewhere then I just keep them busy throughout the day but I feel like I'm not really getting anything accomplished. I would like to find a way that I can divide my time where I can spend time with my kids and get the house work and everything else done....

I have always woken my kids up at the same time. I would also set a basic schedule and post it,
get up time
leave for school time
nap time
bed time
also look into the marble system I have at http://junkfoodkids.com under manners/tips

My oldest has to be at school by 7:15, so I usually get him up around 6:20 to get him ready.....and now I told my two other children that they can't leave their bedrooms until 7:30, that way I can get somethings done in the morning for myself....they can come down for breakfast by 7:45 and then we are starting to do lunch around 11:20 and naptime follows....thanks ladies this has been a big help!

Hi Sara. Your county health departments should have received a supply from CDC even if the private physicians haven't. You're right about your kids. They're probably safe. I personally give my children 500 mg of Vit C each day to boost their immun...
