If I need to do any cooking on Friday, all the prep is done before hand, chopping etc.

All salads are chopped and prepped on Thursday in seperate components, including all dressings.

Challah is usually baked once a month on Tuesday.

I plan Friday lunch and Motze Shabbat on Tuesday as well, and it’s all prepped on Thursday.

I have cleaning help Monday and Friday
She does ALL the cleaning, laundry, and sets the table.

Friday is me day.
Also I try to be completely ready an hour before Shabbat. That’s the time I sit with a magazine and drink a coffee.

I don’t work anymore, but when I did the schedule was the same. Except Friday was a working day. But I still had my coffee an hour before Shabbat

Sounds surreal!! I planned to sit with my coffee this Friday, and all went well, until one kid spilled soup all over the floor, my toddler got her food all over herself, so needed another bath right before shabbos...ended up not sitting for even a split second...
Oh well, going to try again this week...
