What does your daily schedule look like?

**baxjul** · 12-10-2007, 09:31 AM

I just wonder what everyone does daily...

I get up at 6:00, daycare kids start coming at 8:00, get all school agers to bus by 8:45, then back home with rest of kids, do my housework at nap time, they leave around 6:00pm, then eat dinner, and hang out.

Ms Louise - *whew* I am exhausted just reading about your day!
I get up at 6:30, get myself ready and my boys up at 7, we leave for school at 8. When I get home, my daughter and I play, hang out, watch TV, read, etc till about 10. (Sometimes I'm online while she watches TV - like right now!) I might clean during this time, or just sit. I usually do one "major" household job a day. She has a snack and then she goes down at 11 or so for a nap. I might scrapbook, or read or do a quiet job (dust, laundry) while she's sleeping. She usually wakes around 2 or so, and then she eats again, and we get the boys from school at 3:15. The rest of day is me refeering the boys, making dinner, taking kids to practice, etc........ The kids go to bed around 8, and hubby and I relax till about 10 or 11.

Course, that's an at home day. Grocery shopping might be in the AM.....you get the picture...

4:45 wake up
5:50 my 14 yr old goes to bus stop
6:50 my 9 & 10 yr old to bus stop
around 7:30 is when my 3 yr old generally wakes up and I eat breakfast with her
from 8 to 11 time is spent cleaning, playing with my dd and visiting my online groups
11:30 we eat lunch
after lunch dd and I read and play a board game
she will usually nap from 1-3 so I use this time to study whatever I need to for my classes
14 yr old gets home around 3
9 & 10 year old get home around 4:30
start dinner
after dinner is homework with 3 older kids and baths
after that kids usually get around 30 minutes to watch tv or play a video game
then we start sending kids to bed, I clean up kitchen, do some more studying if need be, play a couple of games of spades online
The evenings I have classes I start dinner then leave and dh handles the evening routine. Not sure how my routine will be next semester, will have 3 onlines classes and 2 classes on campus. But this is pretty much my day in a nut shell.

***Fridays are a little different. I pick them up from class at 12:30 and take them to the place where all the kids hang out (not a mall or movie theatre - it is a safe place that is supervised)if there is no ball practice. Drop them off by 1:00 - take them a burger at about 6:00 - and pick them up by midnight or 12:30. If they do have ball practice, we pick them up from the hang out at 4:30 and drop them back off after practice.
