6:30 - alarm goes off, hit snooze; repeat two or three times
7:00 - get up, very quietly to avoid waking sleeping baby; get coffee and watch 5 minutes of the news before baby starts crying; vow to stop hitting snooze so I can have more time to myself in the morning
7:10 - after changing baby, feed her while trying to finish my coffee
7:20 - wake up 9 year old and 6 year old for school, fix them breakfast if they don't want to eat it at school
7:30 - pack lunches, finish feeding baby, tell 3 year old (who has stumbled out of bed, bleary eyed by this time) to leave her sisters alone, they need to get ready for school
7:45 - start nagging kids to get dressed and brush their teeth
8:00 - realize bus will be here in 15 minutes and nobody is dressed yet; start nagging LOUDER
8:10 - send kids who by some miracle got ready on time out to wait for bus, fix three year old breakfast, change baby again, drink more coffee
8:30 - get morning chores done (clean up kitchen, tidy bedrooms, clean bathroom - how DO they manage to get toothpaste on the ceiling anyway? Take dog out, feed him, start laundry (if needed)). Drink more coffee.
10:00 - get three year old snack, feed and change baby; get them ready for errand running if we need to, play/read/go outside with kids if we don't need to. Drink more coffee.
11:30 - remember I haven't eaten yet and decide to fix "breakfast". Three year old insists that she's hungry again, fix her something too; feed and change baby. Wish there was more coffee left, but decide not to make another pot just yet.
12:30 - clean up kitchen and do whatever dinner prep work I can; enlist three year old in helping me put the disaster formerly known as a living room back in order. Take dog out again.
1:00 - remember the laundry, put it in the dryer; get three year old snack, feed and change baby, perhaps have a snack myself

4:30 - husband gets home from work, have some coffee and try to talk to each other over the noise and general mayhem; get started on dinner
5:00 - eat dinner (or, if it's a gym day make sure husband doesn't have too much to do to get dinner on the table before I leave for gym - only happens twice a week)
5:30 - clean up dinner dishes, feed dog, feed and change baby
6:00 - if I went to the gym this is when I do the 5:30 stuff, if I didn't go that day this is when I breathe and drink more coffee, unless it's bath night. If it is bath night, wrangle 3 unwilling, screaming children into the tub, then, 20 minutes later wrangle 3 unwilling, screaming children out of the tub
6:30 - get the kids into pjs, get meat out of freezer for next day's dinner, feed cat and clean litter box, enlist kids in helping clean disaster formerly known as living room - bribing with dessert is helpful here

Unless it's summer. Then I have this amazing full-time internship position at a great firm. I get up (like actually GET UP lol) with the birds, leave my parents house (the internship is closer to them which is great for me because I don't have to pay rent whoop whoop) around 6:45, get there around 8-8:15 (traffic is a billion times worse where they live), work until 5:00, and get home around 6:00/6:30 (again with that traffic lol). I use my schools or my apartments gym, so I don't have a gym near them. I simply do home workouts. Then kind of whatever for the rest of the evening, spend time with my parents and brother, call up some friends, work on my internship stuff, etc.

Sat / Sun I do what-ever but eat similar or less than the above (unless we have a party then all bet's are off).
How do you all manage to wake up @5 am or early in the morning? Why i feel so tired all the time? Any suggestions?
Y'all making me soooo glad I'm childless and retired!
FWIW, I was never an early morning person. Even when working long hours, I got up at the latest possible time, ate on the run, and barely skidded into work on time, saving extra work hours, most home chores & exercise for evenings and weekends.
For contrast and laughs, my current routine is more like:
Tu & Th: Up at 7, fix snack-breakfast for the road, at spin class at 9. Full breakfast (lunch?) after spin.
Rest of the week: Winter - sleep until 10 or noon unless I need to get up for something, stretch/yoga for 30-45 minutes, breakfast. Summer - same as Winter, some days; other days, get down to the river by 8:30 to row, often go out for coffee with rowing buddies afterward.
Post breakfast, household chores, errands, hobbies, internet time, weight training at home, core exercise at home; in Winter possibly some rowing machine at home or a walk if the weather is warm (usually isn't). Probably some more lunch or a snack.
Evening: Social stuff, rowing team practice, more chores/hobbies/errands, arts'n'crafts group meeting, other rowing if not winter, etc. Finish unfinished weight training or core exercise if needed. Keep going until at least midnight (when I have to get up next morning), if not 2 or 3AM.
I like retirement! 0
