Let me guess...you're a list maker right? Gosh, I wish I were that organized, but I don't know if I could handle being that scheduled. (Not saying it's a bad thing, I just wouldn't be able to pull it off. I'm a bit of a free spirit.) I'm glad you found something that works well for you though. You sure accomplish a lot! Great job!

I'll have something like a schedule when our school year starts on the 3rd, but no where near the schedule you got. I think it's cute that you scheduled in your snooze.

[Gibs]

Wow great scheduling. I am not quite that organized but I will be a little better when the kids start back to school on the 3rd of september.

[LexTysMommy]

Mine is not that scheduled BUT close. Its like this every day minus weekends.

Alarm goes off 6:10am. Get dressed, get coffee started, brush hair, wash face, turn on computer to load, open shades, pick up anything I didnt night before.

6:30 first daycare kids start arriving, find cartoons to put on softly and get kids their blankets.
7:00 my own kids get up, dressed, waking up
7:30 start breakfast ritual for awake kids (clean as we go)
8-10 is free play outside, inside whatever.
10:00 snack time, I clean up kitchen after snack and prepare table for lunch. kids help plan lunch, clean up morning play
1030-1130 outside in nice weather or art/circle/free time.
1130 start lunch, kids help done eating by noon. ( load dishwasher)
12-230 nap/quiet time for little ones. older ones watch movie then go outside if nice and they still have that priviledge.

5:00 SHOWER (every day After last daycare kids leave!)
Mon,Wed, Fri my own kids go to their dads 5-8pm.

EVERY NITE bed for kids at 8-815. Even on weekends.
I will be asleep by 9 every night usually. but most time go to bed when kids do.

Laundry is once a week or so. I do it during day, kids help. 2 loads. one dark, one white ( towels are all white to fill up load)

Grocery shopping 2 times a month on Sunday.

Wow, you are quite organized! I'm not able to follow a really rigid schedule, partly because of my personality, partly because DH has a really wonky schedule at work, but we do tend to fall into a daily routine

[Hannahs mom]

Suzy - do you do all those chores EVERY day?? As in mopping/vaccuuming?

I've recently been able to get on a better schedule. The little guy was sleeping til around 7 am. Which meant he was taking a nap around 9:30-10. And then would go back down for a nap around 2 or so. I like to get his sister down for a nap around 1. Now he's not waking up until 9ish so hw doesn't want a nap until around 11:30 or so and the next nap is around 3 or so depending on how long he slept the first time. So now they are not sleeping at the same time - which sucks for me. The little guy will probably be only taking one nap here in a few months (he's almost 10 months).

I do up a schedule for after 9. But that doesn't only go the way I want. Dd has been having problems sleeping lately. She doesn't want to go to bed. So, we will make sure shhe is up from nap by 3 everyday and maximum 2 hours sleep. So, if she's not down for nap by 2, she doesn't get one. (this only happens when we;re not home).

I have a few cleaning things I can get done during the day, especially if dh keeps an eye on the kids. Normally my night schedule looks something like this:
7:30-8:30 Baths for little ones (every other day -I clean in there while they bathe, study, or once in a great while file & buff my nails)
8:30-9:00 Kids in bed
9:00-10:00 Study for my classes (can't clean too much until dd is asleep)
10:00-10:30 Wash dishes, wipe everything done
10:30-11:00 Sweep kitchen, mop every other day
11:00-11:30 Any other cleaning I need to do, figuring bills, etc
11:30-12:30 Study
12:30-1:00 Relax
1:00 Bed

Ds10 starts school on Wednesday so he will have to be up a little before 8. So that may help everyone's schedule and I may be able to get the little ones to take a nap at the same time in the afternoon. We'll see.

Our day usually goes pretty much the same!!

5:00am Wake up get ready for work
5:45am Wake up DS and DD get them dressed and ready to go
6:00-6:10am DH takes kids to daycare and then we both head to work
6:15 to 2:00pm WORKING!!

2:00-2:30pm Usually pick up kids from daycare sometime during this time frame
2:30pm Come home and let kids play, I play on the FV!!!
3:00pm DH comes home from work!! Usually go out to the garage and yard to play with kids and work on something in the house
5:30-6:30pm We usually eat during this time!! Quiet play for kids after supper
7:15pm Tub time for kids,
7:45pm DD (11 1/2 months) goes to bed
8:00pm DS and DD (11) go to bed

We usually try to go to bed around the same time as the kids. We are having a little trouble getting DS to go to bed at 8:00pm, he usually falls asleep around 10:00pm Still working on this, someday he will go to bed when he is suppose to!!
