Routine?

I never really had a tight schedule per say but it was usually we get up when baby got up, sleep when baby sleep, and eat when I could....then when you have five kids, the routines became mandatory for me espescially....my day usually started around 6 - 6:30 and the kids start their day with breakfast, getting ready for the day (school/preschool) I used to walk my kids to preschool, had one in my neighborhood (loved it) sometimes did a few loads of laundry, dishes, picked someone up from preschool, lunch, naptime, older kids home from school and its snacking time!! homework, supper, bath time if I felt like doing it (loved it when they started taking showers on their own) then bedtimes...I was usually in bed by 10 pm....when the kids were small if I had a napper, I sometimes took a nap time too....we need our power snooze too... laundry was usually done everyday, as somebody usually needed some clean clothes... vac got done about every 2 days cuz I can't stand dirty carpets dishes when I had a chance to fill the dishwasher, my kitchen was never clean and it was small !! bathroom was straightened up daily after showers in the mornings and at bedtimes after the kids kids room when I could not see the floor....lol there was usually 2-3 kids per room....so no I was not going to do it everyday....no time I basically did what I could, when I could...in between all the kids and their friends...
