Wake at 630 (should be 6, but I have been staying up too late), brush teeth, dress and get the kids up at 645. Dress them, breakfast at 7. 735/740 - out the door to take ds to school. Some days I go to the gym right after that, some days I come home with the toddlers and drink coffee. Once a week they go to MMO for 3 hours. Lunch at around 1130. Naps afterward - I get on the computer or watch tv and do some sewing during their nap. 3pm pick up ds at school. Between then and dinner, we either go to the library, the gym, TaeKwonDo (Mon and Wed), or come home. Dinner, baths every other night, bed at 745 for the toddlers and 8pm for ds. Some nights we do homework after the two babies have gone to bed. Then I shower, get ready for the next day, watch tv or get online, or read.
Do you have a schedule?
Dictated by my son's school schedule
What uneventful or eventful things do you do on a typical day?
Thursday I hand out Scrip packets at pickup time at my son's school. Tuesday my little ones go to MMO. I am training for a sprint distance triathlon so I work out a lot.
What would you like to do that you dont get to do?? Why?
I'd love to go back to school, but daycare is too expensive, we are moving too soon, and the program I am really interested in is not here. I'd also like to be able to take the kids to the playground but it is still too humid here. Its in the 80s which is fine but it is so humid you are just covered in sweat immediately and it is tiring to me.
How often do you cook dinner?
I make dinner every night. Since dh is deployed, it often consists of heating up leftovers.
What is a typical lunch? leftovers or yogurt mixed with cottage cheese or a balance bar.
What do you wear on a typical day? Do you wear the same things?
On gym days (most) I wear tshirt and shorts, and change to tshirt and khaki shorts afterwards. On days I have to look presentable for appts, its usually a tshirt and capri pants or skirt. I wear my shorts over again since I only wear them for half a day - not the gym shorts of course I mean my oldnavy shorts.
Do you usually wear make-up or not?
Powder and concealer on most days. Lipstick and mascara on days I have appts.
New and improved siggy coming soon (which could mean after Christmas)
Do you have a schedule? Not really
What uneventful or eventful things do you do on a typical day? Gracie gets up every morning about 6:30 or 7:00. DH goes to work at 4:30(so he will get home early enough to spend time with Gracie) he works 10 hr days so he gets off every other Friday. I cook something for breakfast for Gracie, usually scrambled eggs or a waffle and strawberries or grapes. I eat a bagel almost every morning. I check the boards and Ebay on the computer while she is eating and watching the Wiggles. She goes back down to nap around 9 or 9:30. I usually go back to Ebay for about 15min or until she is asleep and then go and shower. She sleeps around 1 1/2 hours so I just have time to clean up the kitchen before she wakes up. We will go out for something(cheap) to eat about 2x a week. The other days I have the hardest time deciding what to eat for lunch. Im not a sandwich girl. At least once a week we go walk the mall and Gracie rides the merry-go-round. She loves it! We hardly ever buy anything. Alot of times on Friday we go to a few yard sales. I have an Antique business and that is how I stock it. Alot of Saturday morning all three of us will go yard saleing. We leave by about 2 (its a 30 min trip) and when we get home she goes back down for another nap. During that time I will shop on Ebay, pick up the house, start a load of laundry or make something for dinner if it requires alot of preparation. DH gets home around 4. We usually play with Gracie for a while and then start dinner. I have a hard time deciding what to have for dinner alot of the time. DH is really good about cooking alot of the time and we grill alot. When dinner is over one of us takes Gracie to the bathtub and the other cleans up the kitchen. Then it is playtime with Gracie again until bedtime 7:30. We are both tired at that point and usually sit around and watch tv.
What would you like to do that you dont get to do?? Why? I would love to go shopping more. But I would have to have money so why bother???
How often do you cook dinner?Most nights, maybe once every 2 weeks we have pizza and we go out to lunch or dinner every couple of weeks on weekends
What is a typical lunch? Fast food 2x a week and whatever I can find the other days!
What do you wear on a typical day? Do you wear the same things? I am so tired of my wardrobe! I have a couple of denim shorts, a couple of capri pants and a couple of jeans... with various solid t-shirts or polo shirts.... very boring!
Do you usually wear make-up or not?Yes, I always have to shower in the morning and fix my hair and put on make-up although it is minimal
Do you have a schedule? - yea my oldest is in school. so we get up at 7am, she is dressed, feed, hair brushed and teeth brushed by 7:45am. I take her to the bus stop at 8:05. I finish checking my stuff here on the internet. Get in the shower by 9. Finish folidng what ever laundry it was I had the night before. Feed myself and my youngest between 11:30 and 12. She goes down for a nap at 12:30. My oldest come home from school at 3:50. We look over her folder and sign whatever needs to be signed. I start dinner at 5. If it's bath night, that happens at 7. They are in bed at 8.
What uneventful or eventful things do you do on a typical day? I watch tv, load/unload dishwasher, vaccum, laundry, pick up where it's needed, run whatever errands need to be done. Aside from what i wrote above there is no set schedule. I dont do things on certains days, things get done when they are needed.
What would you like to do that you dont get to do?? Why? hmmm not sure
How often do you cook dinner? At least 6 nights a week.
What is a typical lunch? Leftovers, sandwhich, tuna, or a salad and a diet coke.
What do you wear on a typical day? Do you wear the same things? I get dressed almost everyday, definitely M-F. If it's yucky outside and I know I'm not going anywhere, I'll shower and throw on what I call lounge wear(yoga type pants, velour pj bottoms and a t shirt). Other days(depending on weather) I'll wear shorts and a shirt, or capris and if I feel like it a skirt, something dressier...but always in something presentable, nothing I wouldnt want a stranger to see me in.! =)
Do you usually wear make-up or not? I wear make up and fix my hair almost 7days a week, depends on weather, if I feel it's worth my time and effort!

My typical day starts out with waking the children and getting them off to school on time. I come home and eat my breakfast, clean the kitchen, play with Jacob (22mos) and then just do whatever needs to be done. I don't usually keep a schedule - except for laundry. I usually do laundry on Wednesday and then over the weekend.
I would love to be able to go to the bookstore by myself! It doesn't happen very often so I am usually hurried in what I want to just sit and look at.
I cook dinner almost every night. It just depends on how busy things are as to what it is - could be Italian Mac-n-Cheese, open faced hot turkey sandwhiches w/a quick Italian sausage stuffing, steak and potatoes, or it could easy like corn dogs and baked french fries, or grilled cheese sandwhiches and some chips. If we eat out it's usually for pizza or burgers or mexican food or if hubby and I get to go alone it varies from chicken fried steak to a good seafood place.
A typical lunch is a sandwhich w/chips - could be pb&j, turkey or grilled cheese w/baked french fries/chips, some fruit and maybe a pickle slice.
I usually wear the same things on days that I have nowhere to go. Which means usually a pair of shorts and a t-shirt that could range from a school shirt to a regular t-shirt to a cutesy t-shirt. If I have somewhere to go I usually put on a pair of capri's and a nice blouse. If it's Sunday though then we're heading to Mass and I'll usually wear a nice dress or a skirt w/a nice blouse. During the Winter months this all changes on the bottom to blue jeans, nice workout pants, leggings under a pair of wind shorts or a long skirt w/boots and leggings underneath.
I always wear some foundation and a little blush just to even out my sking and not send everyone running for the hills when I start coming!! I would say 4 out of 7 days of the week I'll wear a full face of make-up. Why waste a full face if I'm not going anywhere special?
Hope this helps you some.
