    Wake up @5:30AM. Keep breathing as regularly as possible so kittens do not know I am awake. Attempt to hide from kittens when they realize I am awake. Fail at hiding from kittens.

    5:35AM: Get up. Pray that I set the timer on the coffee machine the night before so it makes coffee while I am staggering around.

    5:38AM: Make coffee, grumbling that I should really set the timer on the coffee machine the night before so it makes coffee while I am staggering around.

    Get dressed. Put on make-up. Check to see if Oldest Child has gotten up already (at eight years old, she sets her alarm clock for 5AM, weekends included, so she can "have some peace and quiet before The Littles get up").

    6AM-ish: Divide up tasks related to the next fifteen minutes between myself and Oldest Child: one of us gets Youngest Child, one of us gets The Animals (two kittens, one small dog).

    6:15AM: Get Middle Child up and moving. Oldest Child packs lunches for herself and Middle Child; I get my own lunch together. On weekdays, breakfast for me is a scoop of protein powder in my coffee and some fruit (I pack the fruit in my lunch bag to take to work with me). Husband is usually up and moving by this time.

    6:40AM-ish: leave for work.

    7AM - 5PM: Work/teach.

    5:30PM: Home!!! Dinner. Husband works three days per week; on those days, we either have leftovers, or he puts something in the slow-cooker; dinner can range from Tex-Mex to Indian. Older Children make their own lunches for tomorrow.

    6:30PM: Youngest Child goes to bed.

    7:30PM to 8:00PM: Older Children go to bed.

    8PM: Make my own lunch for tomorrow. Grade papers. Write manuscripts. Answer e-mails.

    10PM: Shower. Remember all the things I didn't do. Think nothing whatsoever about setting the timer on the coffee machine so it can make coffee tomorrow morning while I am staggering around.

    10:30PM-ish: Go to bed.

    11:30PM-ish: Fall asleep.

    12AM: Get up with Youngest Child (teething toddler).

    1AM: Go back to bed.

    2AM?: Sleep.

    Weekdays ... mostly ...with minor variations two or three times a week ... depending on how the particular semester I'm in is going ...

    7:35 ... awake, get ready, dash out the door to catch. 35 minutes flat.

    8:20 - 9:10 ... bus to work. A route that should take 30 min but never does.

    9:10 - 5:20 ... work, attend uni, do some grocery shopping, and try to get a walk and several flights of stairs in.

    5:20 - 6:30 ... attempt to make my way home by bus, a route that should take 30 min but never does, and if I'm lucky I might read a chapter in a novel.

    6:30 - 7:00 ... snack, check facebook etc.

    7:00 - 7:45 ... walk with my husband and/or do some weightlifting or occasionally we go cycling for an hour or so.

    7:45 - 8:00 ... dinner.

    8:00 - 1:00 or 2:00 ... homework (I'm in a Master's program at uni) and housework.



    Weekends are completely different. Weekends usually involve a whole heap of exercise. :grin:

    Yeah, me too.

    My head hits the pillow, I think to myself, "Tomorrow, I might wear the casual navy pants because I'm going to be walking between work and uni, and it is supposed to be windy ... but what will I wear with ... "

    And that's it ... I'm out.

    I am glad I am not the only one that has that conversation with myself as I fall asleep, and I usually finish it as soon as I wake up and before I get out of bed. It is rare that I am standing in the closet staring at my clothes, I usually have it all worked out before I get there.

    As for my schedule, it varies.

    Alarm goes off between 4:45 and 5:30, depending on if I am going to the gym before work.
    If go to gym, out the door by 5:30, get to the gym by 6 and at work by 7 (gym is right across the street from work).
    If no morning gym then out the door by 6:30 and at work by 7.
    Morning walk at 10, lunch at noon with another walk.
    Leave work at 3:30, home by 4:30.
    Dinner, tv, play with dogs, etc.
    In bed by 9 and read a while, like to be asleep no later than 10 though.

    Grad school + professional job at the University + 3 small children. You get used to it. 6 hours of sleep is normal for me; I can survive on 5 hours, but I get grouchy, and will sometimes take a nap during Evening Story Time (the kids gave up TV for Lent; we read from the Harry Potter series for an hour or so before Older Children go to bed).

    Oh how nice. My 8 year old daughter sleeps thru her BLARING alarm. She is her father's child. My kids arent really morning people unless of course its the weekend and Mommy and Daddy dont have to wake up at 4:30am - THEN they have no problem rising early.... to ask me in their sweetest morning breath for cereal. (my 6 yo - my 8yo has already had macaroni for breakfast and trashed the evidence) O.o

    @ClosetBayesian - you made me laugh, especially the kitten part as I can sympathize.

    6:20 - wake up, get dressed, brush teeth, etc.
    6:30 - go into kitchen, open MFP app, put breakfast, lunch and snacks together
    6:30 - 6:45 keep calling dog over to stop using his cone of shame as a battering ram on the cat doors
    6:35 - glare at husband for playing with puppy instead of getting ready for work
    6:45 - feed cat while trying to convince that I was always planning on feeding him and will always feed him without the need to constant and painfully loud reminders starting an hour before feeding time
    6:46 - pet fat kitten (5 years old) and tell him I love him even though he doesn't trust me to feed him, find other 2 cats and shove their faces in their food bowls so fat kitten doesn't eat it all
    6:48 - clean litter boxes
    6:50 - play with puppy and let him out one last time
    7:02 - start getting annoyed about waiting for husband because we will once again be leaving late for work
    7:30/7:50 - arrive at work while stressing out about being late thanks to husband and extremely variable traffic (special circumstances to get into work)
    7:30 - 11:30 - work
    11:30 - 1:00 - go home, let puppy out, walk puppy (when not recovering from surgical procedure) or play with him in yard and house
    1:00 - 5:00 - work
    5:30 - get home, change clothes
    5:45 - 6:45 - walk puppy
    7:00 - dinner
    7:30 - collapse on couch (or sit on floor with puppy) and zone out
    10:00 - feed cats, take puppy out, give puppy his meds
    10:15 - BED

    7:55am - get on bus to go to work.

    4:18pm - leave the office to walk to the bus. contemplate buying a bike.
    5:05pm - arrive home. check the mail. wash my lunch dishes and repack my lunch for tomorrow. complain about how no one puts dishes away.

    LOL!! I feel for all you parents with little ones - mine are adult and out of the house, so I only have DB to look after!! Days are pretty predictable in that I have always woken up, gone to work for the last 30 some odd years, come back to almost every woman's second job (some men too!) of domestic arts (!!) including meal plan and prep, laundry, etc, watch some tv (I love the public broadcast stations) and then sleep. Parents, when the kiddies are gone, you will be amazed at the amount of living you packed into a day!

Parents, when the kiddies are gone, you will be amazed at the amount of living you packed into a day!

    I have really enjoyed reading all of these posts- reading how others spend their day, things they get do with their free time. LOL.
    Kids: Its a labor of love as we all know. I realize one day my little air-stealing, "not touching you", bickering brother & sister and my precious but teething 8 month old baby boy will all be gone - and Ill be left with just me and DH. What-ever-will-i-do?

    I think that every stage of life has its eye opening moments - my parents, both into their 80's and been retired for quite some time, remain so busy that they often say they dont know how they fit work into their schedules!

    I get up at 6h30, weigh myself (unless I'm not home and a scales is not available), help my partner get the kid ready, and get ready myself to go to either the gym or the pool depending on the day. Take the bus.

    By 7h30 I'm working out for about one hour. By 9h00 I am having breakfast, by 10h00 I'm at work (I'm a full time doctoral researcher).

    Lunch at 13h00, half hour break, 14h00 back to work until 18h30.

    By 19h30 I am preparing dinner and packing half of it for next day's lunch for me and my partner. Do the dishes, bathe the kid, put him to bed. Plan my next day's nutrition so I know what I'm going to eat and what my macros are going to look like. Watch some TV, look at social media. Collapse happily at about 22h00. Repeat.
