what is your work week routine?

[stanncie]

I will give you mine and maybe we can get to know each other better

9:00 ish: Wake up naturally (no alarms for me! ) and have a nice leisurely breakfast

10:00 quick check of e-mail, clean a little if i'm in the mood

11:00 play DDR for 30-45 minutes and take a shower

12:00 ready to go to work and face those little monsters

12:30-7:00 start working which consists of pleading, lifting and cuddling, fighting, laughing, playing in playgrounds and generally running around like crazy. I find some point to eat, mostly in my car.

7:30 get home in a rush to pick up my sister and head to the gym, sometimes i change in the car so I won't be late for class ( yes i'm crazy)

8:00-9:30 diffuse all that stress at the gym and sweat like a madwoman

10:00 get home and eat, i'm ravenous at this point.

10:30-12:00 surf the internet, watch tv, maybe read

12:00 take a shower and get ready for bed

12:30 almost asleep at this point, ready to start all over again

pretty much the same monday thru friday, except fridays I don't go to the gym and just relax at home or go out somewhere after work.

now it's your turn!

Well, mine's a little different now a days since I'm on maternity leave!! Here it is anyway..

6:00 Wake up to Brad's alarm.
6:30 Lie in bed and ignore Morgan babbling in his crib.
7:00 Get up and go get Mr. Chatty
7:30 Morgan gets a bottle
8:10 Shower, get dressed, get Morgan dressed
9:00 Nap time for Morgan, treadmill for me
10:30 Morgan gets up
11:00 Morgan gets a bottle
11:30 Playtime/walk time etc.
12:30 Nap time for Morgan
1:30 Morgan gets up and gets some food. Then we usually head to a friends or the mall etc.
3:00 Morgan gets a bottle
4:00 Head downtown to pick up Brad
5:00 Morgan gets dinner
6:00 We have dinner (or around there)
7:30 Morgan gets a bottle
8:00 Morgan's bedtime
10 or 10:30 - My bedtime!

As you can see, my life revolves around the munchkin! During nap time, I have to do laundry, tidy up, eat, check my email, surf the net, phone friends, get dinner started.. and anything else I have to do. I like that we have a schedule though as I know when he's going to get tired, hungry etc so I rarely have a fussy baby when we go out!

well i'm still a student so its not quite so structured...

get up somewhere between 7:30-8:30 (depending on when i succeed in draggin my but out of bed)

eat, shower, get dressed, check email, make my lunch (these days watch the olympics) and head out the door about 1:15 after i get up

school from 9:30- till whenevre i'm fed up/discouraged/bored out of my mind.... usually around 5:30 or so... at some point in the day i usually end up procrastinating a lot, and eating lunch.

come home, eat supper. and usually go rock climbing 1 or 2 times a week about 7...

in bed by 11:30 or so to start it all again...


on a side note can i just say that i am apalled that South Dakota has passed a law banning abortion and that the governor is expected to sign it?!! which obviously challenges the whole Roe vs. Wade thing. sorry... just had to mention that i am apalled!

[Cat]

I'll play along... Good topic!

7:00 get up, get dressed
7:15 cuddle the cats, get cats daily bowl of food, clean kitty litter, fix breakfast and packed lunch, watch the news (in no particular order, I can multitask!)
7:45 Go to work
8:00 arrive at work, start doin' stuff
12:00 lunch
12:30 back to doin' stuff again
16:30 OFF WORK!
17:00 get home (traffic is a lot busier on the way back)
18:00 Fix dinner
19:30 go to choir rehearsal (Wednesday and Friday) or aquarobics (Thursday)
21:30-ish Arrive home, cuddle cats, watch tv
23:00 go to bed and read a bit
0:00 sleep, getting ready for another day

[dougj]

my day:

8 - when I get up is dependent on when Dylan decides to wake up, although it's around this time. get him up, changed and a bottle. feed animals.
8:30 - playtime for Dylan (playmat, exerciser, baby einstein)...I do a few things around the house, get some breakfast, or do some work online.
9:30 - Dylan gets a bottle, then nap. I take a shower.
10:30 - 4 - go to the office. run around doing whatever needs to be done that day.
4:20 - home, relax for awhile....maybe some ps2, work on some onsie designs, play with Dylan, hang out with Melisa.
5ish - Dylan's supper...cereal and either apples or pears.
5:30 - feed animals
6ish - supper, try to coordinate it so Dylan is passed out.
7 - 10 - depends on whatever we want to do.
10 - get Dylan up (if he's napping) for awhile so he can beat himself out.
11ish - Dylan gets a bottle and passes out shortly afterwards.
11:30 - 12:30 - bed for us
3ish - Dylan sometimes wakes during the night for a bottle and a changing.

our days revolve around the boy.

[Kim]

Doug,

What onesie designs are you doing? I'd love to see them.
Is Dylan teething yet? Now that's a good time. Morgan doesn't have any yet but he's definately teething. He's still a master sleeper though, knock on wood.

Hmmm, well, as uninteresting as it it, here's my weekly schedule.

Monday-Friday
Get up around 9 am and make a big pot of coffee and hit the books to tackle whatever homework my professor has assigned that week. And also, at this moment, the paper I have due in 3 weeks.
Around noon I ususally break for lunch and get food ready for work, check e-mail, procrastinate on the web a little...

Tuesdays I have 9 am class so that wake up time is around 8:25...just enough time to get dressed, grab an extra large from Timmy's (a students lifeline!!) and catch my bus.

Around 1:30 I get ready for work. Start work at 3pm and end at 11. Home around midnight and hopefully asleep by 1:30am though it's often closer to 2.

TGIF!

Hey, we're trying to put together a store along the lines of babywit.com but better and cheaper. right now we're looking for some decent canadian suppliers for onesies and shirts and getting some solid designs happening.
Dylan has a couple of teeth starting to poke up. he was howling there for a while but it's calmed down a bit.
he was sleeping through the night but a month or so ago flipped...and since he's had the flu it's been pretty brutal.

[Patrick]

Typical day... although my schedule isn't that 'set'

6:15 wake up... feed the dog... get ready for work
7:30 at work or meetings
1:00-1:30 lunchtime
3:30 time to go home
4:30 get home play with the dog, make dinner
5:30 dinner time
6:00-7:00 household chores and stuff
7:00-9:00 surf the net, watch TV
9:00-1:00 more work
bedtime, and do it all over!

[dumbdiety]

Like Jules, I'm still in school, so my days are pretty varied. Usually, Thurs to Mon is get up around 8ish, goof off, work from either 10-6:30 or 2-10:30, goof off some more, and then sleep around midnight. Tues and Wed I get 'round 6, get to my Field Experience (where I'm in a classroom with kids) till around 3, home really quick to change, then off to University till 7 or 10 (depending on the night). Then more goofing off and going to sleep. ;D

[jennifer]

i'd really put my schedule to contribute, but it's SOOO different everyday

[stanncie]

boo jennifer, you are not boring like us I guess!
cat: i like the fact that you put your schedule in military time and that your name is cat and your day involves cats a lot
doug and kim: once you have babies I know your whole life revolves around them, it's like you ceased to exist lol!! I don't have kids of my own but I deal with kids all day and I respect all parents because they are a handful

[jennifer]

I'm not saying i'm not boring, I truly am
