Frances,

Please allow me to compliment you on your prudent use of time. The use of time is something we will all be judged on, and is commonly not only wasted, but used in such a way as to corrupt us and even place us in near occasions of sin. Trashy radio programs, television, motion pictures, contemporary music, and gossipy cell phone use all attest to this. Like you, I found that praying the rosary in the car is a fine alternative. Rarely is there a legit excuse to miss the rosary.

I realize you have a full schedule, but have you considered praying the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary? I found it beneficial in keeping me off of the confessional line. There is a great mystical value in the Psalms. The Little Office takes a hour, less once used to it. If that is too long maybe you could try Prime for morning and compline for evening prayers?

Judging by your posts, I doubt that any of this is new to you so I hope I do not sound like a know-it-all.  It is just nice being able to discuss prayer with other Catholics. My wife and I often feel like we are on an island as none of our friends or family are traditional.

For whatever it is worth, I think the most overlooked prayers are the Stations. So few pray them, even among traditionalists. It is a sad commentary.

Generally? I have an atypical schedule where I have to be extremely flexible, but here is a loose order of each day:

Wake up--everyone
Meal for kids, throw in laundry, dishes
Kids brush teeth, pray, make beds
Teach writing, grammar, spelling and math, say prayers when kids are busy and eat a quick lunch for me and prep dinner
Snack for kids
Latin, handwriting and prepare to go out outside classes
Go to outside classes
Finish school work on the road or at home, reading, literature, history, science, geography and religion
Eat dinner
Free time, which usually doesn't happen
Rosary and prayer
Laundry
Get ready for bed--all
Go to bed--all

Chores in between everything for all of us
