Schedule Issues

So I now think stay at home moms should make more than anybody else! Okay maybe not more than doctors! Anyway, I have stayed home for three weeks now and I can't seem to get a schedule down. Ian comes home at 1:15 and Rayliana and I are still usually in our pajamas! Ha~! Of course one of the issues has been Rayliana not taking naps anymore. I took her to the doctor on Friday and the doctor discovered that she had a double ear infection! She has now had 6 doses of antibiotics so I'm hoping and praying that will help with the sleeping and eating issues she has had lately.

I have this idea of what my schedule should be and it goes a little something like this: wake up, change Ray, brush her teeth, wash her face and hands, make breakfast, do the dishes from breakfast, start cleaning (something different every day; Monday=laundry, Tuesday=bathrooms, etc.), make lunch, force Ray to eat the lunch :-), put her down for a nap, straighten the living room, her play room, etc., take a shower, and by then Ian should be home! Sounds great right? NOPE, that's not been happening at all! Once I start cleaning something she is making a mess of something else! And that's just the straightening up I'm talking about, not to mention the dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, and mopping! Luckily, my dad came over today to play with Ray and during that time I was able to clean! Now, the house is spotless but let's see how long it will last!

I'm sure my schedule will come together sometime soon! Hopefully, before the next little baby comes. All in the middle of that we are also working on potty training! I'm trying not to force it with her and let her become interested in it. A good friend once told me that usually if you rush it they are more likely to have "accidents" down the road and we don't want that! So wish me luck and I will take any advice!
