Fulltime employees/ mothers

Thats something I need. I work 40 hours, and go to school 13 hours, plus homework! Then go home to a 3.5 year old

That's me. My biggest issue is finding time to workout. I get up early with my little one, work a full day, take care of things at home, AND need to squeeze in working out!

Full time working mommy of 3 here!!!

might be a stupid question but how do you start a group?

I have one son, who is 9 months old. He's teething, and still doesn't sleep through the night.

Here's my typical day:

Woken up around 4:30 by baby. Feed/change him, go back to sleep for an hour. Wake up for the day. Get myself ready; get baby ready; pack bag for daycare; pack lunch for myself; sometimes pack husband's lunch or make his breakfast. Leave home by 7:30; drop baby at daycare; get to work around 8:00. Work until 5:00. Pick up baby. Go home and make supper, do dishes and any other household chores that need to be done. Husband is home around 6:00. Supper is usually at 6:30 or 7:00. Play with baby (my favorite part of the day!) until he gets cranky, which is usually 8 or 8:30. Put him to sleep. Work out (if I feel like it), catch a few minutes of TV, or spend time with my husband. Bed time is about 10:00. Wake up with baby around 11 or 12, and put him back to sleep.

I'm sure things are going to get more hectic once he can be involved in activites. That's ok, I love my family and will do anything for them!

My typical day...
5:30 AM- Wake up, shower and get ready for work. I get my son's stuff ready as well ( my husband drops him off at the sitter)
7:00 AM- I pack my breakfast and lunch and make sure everyone else is up and running. My husband sleeps like a log.
7:30- I'm usually at work having breakfast.
4:30 I'm on my way home to pick up my kiddos from the sitter. I get home and try to throw in a load of laundry or clean up what I can... change into my gym clothes
5:30- i'm out the door dropping one kiddo at the sitter (he's still too small for the daycare at the gym) my 4 year old goes with me to the gym and my 11 year old stays with my mom.
6:30-7pm i'm at the gym. Monday's and Thursday's i have belly dancing at 7 and it usually ends around 8:15pm.
8:30pm i'm getting my daughter from the daycare and i'm heading home to the rest of the kids.
9:30 i'm usually cooking dinner(and extra for lunch the next day) washing bottles, laundry, cleaning and getting the kiddos ready for bed.
10:00pm My husband gets home(on the days he doesn't go to the gym) and eats dinner. I sit and chit chat with him while the girls are bathing getting ready for bed.
10:30 Baby Aiden is usally asleep by now(for the night!)
10:30-11:00pm... i'm usually cleaning up the kitchen while hubby is showering and making sure the kids are in bed.
12:00am I try to be showered and in bed by this time and maybe catch 30 mins of TV if i'm not too tired.
This is usually everyday for me. I rush rush rush... EVERYDAY.

Well, last time someone tried to start a link like this is was shut down because feelings were hurt on both the stay at home mom and working mom sides.

Personally, I think it is nice to have both links so that both kinds of mommies can find the support of like minded mommies. :flowerforyou:

I am inbetween both groups since I work from home, and I have been both kinds of mommies.

And mrsyac2, according to my mother you won't ever sleep normal again :laugh: Let's hope she isn't right! :noway:

Support is needed for both groups of moms and I think that working moms and stay at home moms are ALL STILL MOMS and should be kind enough to let each other seek and find the support they need , especially in matters of being healthier moms for our kids!

GO MOMS
