Up at 5:45 (hair wash days) or 6 am (hair up days). Have my shower, make-up, hair, get dressed, make the bed. Wake up my daughter around 6:45 dress her and feed her breakfast. Drop her at daycare at 7:30 and get to work for 8. I eat my breakfast & lunch at my desk while working so that I can leave earlier, and pick her up by 4:30. Some days we grocery shop. Others we play in the playground. Her dad gets home around 5:15 and takes her out to play while I cook dinner. We usually eat around 6-6:30, then play games, read, give her a bath or one night a week watch Dancing with the Stars after dinner. Then her bedtime is at 8pm, and we read a couple of books. After I usually clean one room in the house, water my garden, check the internet and may try to watch a show. I try to stay up for the Daily Show which I watch in bed, but I usually crash during the interview portion.

Weekends are time to get the house really clean, pre-cook and have fun. We try to do some outings, family cooking or art projects. We sleep in until around 8 and hubby and I find time for a little "fun".

No day is the same for me. I can alway guarantee that I have something to do though. It doesn't alway involve leaving the house :-)

I wake up between 6.30-8, depending on when Issy wakes, we usually have cuddles in bed for 15 minutes or so. Then coffee is the first thing on my agenda then breakfast. Washing, clean kitchen, read stories, do puzzles with Issy, visit some friends, or have visitors, 12..00 we have lunch, read a story then Issy sleeps, That's my down time, tv, fb, com, get dinner organised. IN the afternoon we play and clean more. Then hubby comes home, dinner, play, bedtime for Issy around 6.30-7, clean the kitchen then downtime with hubby.

Get up, feed renae, make logan a bowl of cereal and toast, go on facebook... load the washing machine... visit friends, come home for naps, hang out the washing, go on facebook... not very productive. I need to do more things rather than facebook and CoM. On the weekend we visit friends or watch movies and I do very little house work. I need to get into home decorating but ti's hard to do anything with cyclone Logan around and renae whingeing.

Aww! You're sweet, Shannin! Of course, I only have one kid (how people juggle 2 and 3 kids I have no idea!!)....and there is a good bit of "me time" in there.

Summers though... Summers are ROUGH!!!

Depends on the day...

Tuesdays and Thursdays... up by 6 (if I've managed to sleep that long), get on the computer, wake the girls, get breakfast, wake and dress and try to feed my son, leave house at 7... Drop girls at school and go to work. Watch my son and the baby til baby takes a nap (10) eat/rest/do laundry/play w/ my son while baby naps. Feed baby. Play w/ son and baby til 2. Go get girls. Drive to town, run errands, buy dinner at the grocery store, eat in the van, go to gymnastics around 4 (starts at 4:30). Head home at 6:15. Shower and get me and my son in bed!

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays the early morning routine is the same... we were leaving the house at 7:15 those days, but now my girls are doing a volunteer thingy, so we'll STILL be leaving the house at 7... ick!

Monday and Wednesday... after dropping the girls off at school I take my son to school. Mondays I go to counseling or go home til pick up time... then we go home again. Wednesdays I go to my financial class, have lunch at a friends house... then pick up time and home again.

Fridays after girls drop off my son and I go to the church to watch the kids during the Friday morning Bible study (5-10 kids)... then home for lunch until time to get the girls.

Then there's the weekends....

My alarm goes off at 5:45am. I get up and shower, blow dry my hair, put a little make-up on and get dressed. Our son usually wakes up around 6:30am and I spend some time with him hanging out and most recently cuddling. Then we have breakfast and I take off to work. I work from 8am-5pm and then I head and pick our son up from daycare. Then its home to make dinner, enjoy some down time with our son and on to bath time. We read a ton of books to end our day, our son LOVES to read! Yeah so that's my typical day for ya! :) The weekends are completely different so that is an example of a weekday.

Let's see, the glorious life of a sahm ;)

I wake up about 5:30-5:45am, stumble to the shower (I'm a zombie until I shower) then get myself dressed. Start breakfast, and wake the boys.

By 7:30 we are all 3 out the door (unless John is working at home, then he's in his office). I go to the gym after I drop J at school and work out for a little over an hour, unless I over-ate the day before, in which case I stay longer.
I get home about 9-9:15 am and clean. That can take 1-2 hours, never more than 2--I don't like cleaning.

The time between 11am and 2pm is different every day--some days I run errands (shopping, mail, dry cleaning, crap like that), others I meet a girlfriend for lunch, once a week I volunteer (either at J's school or YouthBASE), which means once a week I have to plan those lessons. Sometimes I draw (I get freelance commissions). Sometimes I manage to fit several of those things into that 3 hour block, and sometimes I just take that time for myself because after J gets home from school all He!! breaks loose and I run ragged.

I pick J up at 2:30, we have a snack, taekwondo class, homework, AR reading, practice taekwondo, Mommy&J special time, then dinner, evening walk or bike ride, clean the kitchen, shower J, get ready things for the next day, then bed time!! During Spring we also have Baseball to throw into the mix.

I have book club twice a month in the evenings from 9-10pm, this is after J is in bed, and Zumba classes twice a week from 8-9pm--those nights John puts J in bed at 8:30.
