S/O What's your daily schedule like?
Obviously, every day is different, but what's your usual daily schedule?
6:45 up and shower 7:00 dress, coffee, start a load of laundry 7:30 kids up, change baby's diaper, wake up time (my boys wake up very slowly) 8:15 breakfast 9:00 kids free play, I transfer laundry to dryer and fold whatever was still in the dryer from yesterday and maybe start another load 9:30 or 10 get kids dressed. If we have any morning errands to run, we do them now. If we're home, I'm generally cleaning during this time. 11:00 small snack 11:30 little one down for nap. While he naps, DS1 and I usually do some kind of casual homeschool project, a craft, whatever. 1-1:30ish I prepare lunch (and set up dinner if need be). If I work that day, its on the earlier end. If not, it's a bit later. 1:45ish we leave the house. Some days, its for me to go to work (kids to Grandma's). Other days, its the park, errands, the play area in the mall, etc. 3:30 or 4 I do some cleaning while the boys "help". 5:00 start cooking dinner and DH comes home 6:00 dinner 7:00 baths 7:30 DS2 goes to bed. DS1 is usually playing Lego with dad or watching a movie with him. 8:30 DS1 goes to bed 9:30 DH goes to bed. I run a load of dishes. 11:30 I go to bed ETA:if I'm working, DH brings the boys home from Grandma's around 5:30. I usually have dinner in the fridge or crockpot for them. Everything from 2:00-9:00 is DH's job those nights.

I wake up my husband. He doesn't like the alarm. Then dishes, finnish laundry, clean up the kitchen, straighten the livingroom, vacuum, mop, bathroom. Whatever else needs doing that didn't get done during the day. Play with baby. Sometimes I do my baking at this time as well. Last night I made 2 gallons of chicken broth for the month. 2-3am I get to go to bed. Some day I will get more than 2 hours sleep straight. Baby wakes to nurse 2 hours after going to sleep. About 1-2 hours later I get the older kids up. Baby will either get up for an hour at 7am or wake to nurse at 8am. I am up for the day at 10 am. Usually after dd goes to bed at 9pm I try to spend 30 minutes with my husband as he gets ready for work. I also must get his things ready. Dinner, coffee, drinks, snacks.

Re: S/O What's your daily schedule like?
We don't have a daily schedule. I homeschool so no school to get to in the morning. Kids normally wake up around 7:30 am and DH lets me sleep in until I get up, which is usually 8 or 8:30. We eat breakfast, play, do school work, etc. Depending on the weather we'll go for walks or play outside. I do a little cleaning in the afternoon and we have quiet time. Then we do some more school work, playing, etc before dinner. Kids are normally in the kitchen with me while I prepare dinner. We eat, do a little more school work, read stories, play a little and then start bedtime routine. Kids are usually more than ready for bed around 7 pm. Then after they are in bed I read, get paper work done, drink tea, watch TV or take a bubblebath/shower. Right before I go to bed I take the dogs outside one last time to pee, make sure cat has food and water and then I crash.
I'm a birth professional so if I have a client the days are different. Fridays are our long days (except for today) where we're gone most of the day doing groceries, errands, homeschooling group and a play group.
