Well said Kelly, it is possible, you are right, with lots of prayer and patience. Thank you for the reminder.

A wonderful reminder for sure. With the weather we’ve been having, I become quite sluggish! Personally, I think it would be nice to have several Weaver-minded moms get together with their tea and planner books for an afternoon. I think that would inspire me some. Thank you for this gentle push

I like your suggestions! This morning, praise God, they woke up without any “encouragement” from me! Woo-hoo! Of course, they knew we were going to Ladies’ Bible Study, which would mean social time for them, so I think that might’ve been the motive. I’m hoping by next week, their bodies will be back on schedule. Also, I’ve got to make sure that they are in bed earlier than normal (and they don’t like that a bit!)

Thanks again! Patty

Oh, this made me laugh! I struggle in the morning as well and can relate to this post both as a mother and a daughter. he he

My kids are little still (only 6 and 3) but I do have 2 ideas.
One, if they are teenagers, it is a scientific fact that they need more sleep. So, if your schedule can take it, just change your start time.

Assuming that won’t work (and it wouldn’t at my house. 9:00 is as late as I can push it and still make the day flow),
I think this is what Rebecca Avery says, or maybe a modification of it. Set a time for school to start. If they aren’t there, then they are letting you know that they need more time in the morning, so obviously they need 15 extra minutes to get ready. So, if they normally wake 8, and they aren’t ready by 9; then the next morning you wake them at 7:45. If they still aren’t ready, then the next morning you wake them at 7:30. Be infuriatingly cheerful as you wake them - for example, let them know that you are glad they chose to be woken up 15 minutes early because you get to see their faces for 15 extra minutes.

If they do not have good attitudes when you wake them, then they are letting you know that they have chosen to also go to bed 15 or 30 minutes earlier.

I would imagine this would be a little hard as a parent (it would be for me), but also that it wouldn’t take too long for them to be ready at 9:00.

Holly,

Copies of the pages I created are located in the Files section at the u-Weaver YahooGroups page. Go to Files, Planning Pages, Planning Pages.xls. The first two spreadsheets should be printed front-to-back of each other, and the third one by itself. The fourth page explains how I use them, like this blog does. These are Excel spreadsheets. If you can’t get them from Yahoo, let me know and I’ll email them to you.

Wow Patty,
Your children will have great research skills as they get older just from rubbuing off of you! I too sometimes get lost in the digging and have to bring myself back to some sort of structure. You are right though, that is the blessing of Weaver.

Hopefully, within the next three years. There’s a writers conference I’d like to attend in Estes Park.

Oh, Kelly, you are a kindred spirit. Measurements don’t mean a thing until I can visual it. Someone tries to tell me how big a house is, 40,000 sq ft. and I just nod my head not knowing if that is big or little.

I also need my week at a glance. I do get lost in the daily planning and have to have an idea where I am going.
