7:20am - look at email, put makeup on before I forget to walk out the apartment, say hi to the puppy, put my prepped lunch in my backpack.

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!0

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?0 -
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!0
