I have my lists as well --

Other Dailies ( I have a flylady type notebook)
A/B list time:
Start a load of laundry
Help with breakfast
Oversee feeding of pets
Weeklies (from notebook - have sectioned into days)
School work: (for now)
Morning Message together - calendar, weather, pledge, Awana verse, and Bible story.
Phonics - together - we started Phonics Factory last week.
Writing - they usually write the date, weather, and/or their Awana verse, but we need to work on TY notes, so that will take up writing this week.
Math - independantly - at their own pace - at least 2 pages from MathUSee.
Social Studies - together -- I have been kinda stumped in this area, we have been talking about maps lately, since they were preparing for their Disney trip.
Science - together -- usually some silly experiment that they get a kick out of.
Art - They ususally have free choice with art time, every once in a while we will have something specific to do.
After Art, they have free time until lunch. I read to them while they eat - from whatever chapter book we are reading. About to start Because of Winn Dixie.
While they have quiet time, I do as well. It is my time to get on the computer, read, or watch TV. If by chance they both fall asleep, thenI will go lay down for a bit.
While they have afternoon freetime, I do the monthly chores from my flylady type notebook. Maybe have a bit more freetime, then start dinner prep.
Now, while all that looks good on paper, seeing it in action is another story. FOr the most part -- most days we accomplish what we set out to, but it never seems to go as smoothly as the paper looks.
