Saturday & Sunday

• 06:30 – 07:30 wake up, get ready, tidy up the apartment, prepare breakfast for Shayu
• 07:30 – 08:15 wake up Shayu and Kanna,  get ready for tamilschool
• 09:00 – 12:00 Shayu in tamilschool, in this time we go grocery shopping
• After that we usually do something together, visiting family and friends or going on trips/walks

Wednesday night I go to Zumba (Dance with Sarmi) and Kanna goes to play soccer on Friday night.

This is how a normal week would look like for me/us, emphasis a normal because I am currently in the home office. But I go to the office once a week so that I have some variety.

This week for example the message came on Wednesday that on Thursday and Friday is no kindergarden because of Covid. I had to reorganize as Shayu was home for 2 days, so I took Friday off at short notice and we spent the day together.

As mentioned in another blog, I not only write it down but we also enter all our appointments in the handy calendar. When my husband or I plan something we first look in the calendar, the method works very well for us, we use it now almost for 10 years.

It is a rough plan that works for me, I need a certain structure so I know when I can organize my appointments. But because it works for me does not mean that it is right and works for everyone.

I wish you a great Sunday

With Love Sinthuya
