luvmykids replied: Hmmm... well, we don't have a whole lot of routine, it seems like something always disrupts how I imagine the day when I get up! But ideally ...
I get up around 6:30, have coffee, shower and dress, etc. Tiptoe around so I don't wake anyone early. Fold laundry from the night before, unload dishwasher.
Kids get up around 7:30, breakfast, get dressed, cartoon while I finish hair/make up. If we don't have anything going on, we go outside and check the rosebushes, feed the dogs, putt around the yard. Start another load of laundry, clean up breakfast. Walk to the park or play games outside to try to tire them out for rest time! Field calls from the office.
Lunch is around noon, rest time right after. Macie is the only one who naps but the other 2 lay on the couch with books, sometimes a movie if I really want them to stay put for 2 hours. I usually try to read a book or something then too for a bit then pay bills and stuff like that.
After rest we have a snack, do play dough or paint or something crafty, more laundry, straighten up, think about dinner. After dinner, baths, books and bed!
But I've been taking them to Moms Day Out a little more, usually twice a week, while they're gone I run errands like grocery store and Wal Mart, clean house, been trying to play golf or get a manicure or something once a week.
Once they're in bed I really hit the house, then around 9 or 10 get on the computer or watch TV or read until about midnight.

holley79 replied: Ha I guess I will have to reanswer when I start my new job. 
Right now:
Come home from work
Get Annika from next door
feed dogs/ let out/ give Peanut his insulin
change Annika
(if Annika is in a happy mood) put Annika in crib with toys and shower, quickly
Play with Annika.
Put Annika in bed with me and nurse her for her early morning nap and maybe mommy can get a little sleep. 
Wake when Annika wakes
Play somemore
DH gets home
(If I have to go back to work) I hand Annika off to daddy and mommy gets an hour of sleep.
Go to work then come home to do it all again.

BAC'sMom replied: Thanks! I was just wondering if your schedule was as hectic as mine. 
I wish I had as much shower time as you ladies do.  I would really enjoy a long hot shower without hearing MOM!
