I discovered a book titled Managers of Their Homes by Steven and Teri Maxwell (http://www.titus2.com/). I have been reading and trying to come up with my list of chores that need to be done daily, weekly, etc. I also needed to be able to schedule school time for 2 children instead of just one this year.
So today is the day I'm starting to test implementation of the schedule at this point. So far so good today. Both kids were up, without me calling them, and dressed before 8:00. I also had gotten up earlier than usual and had time for my own quiet time. I did a load of laundry and had it done by 8:00 as well. GO ME!! We had breakfast at 8:00, then did some bathroom chores and bedroom chores. At 9:00, we started our school day. As of lunch time, the kids are being pretty cooperative. I hope and pray that this will continue!
I am certain that I will be tweaking the schedule for a while until I find just the right fit for my little family, but I had to start somewhere.
