I don't know why, but I love hearing about everyone's days. I find it amazing that anyone can work long hours like that. I wonder if we'd all be healthier if we started having same schedules (like 8 hours of sleep every night, regular meals, exercise, and relaxation, etc)
So, my day is get up at 5 with kids (ages 4 and 8) and make breakfast for me and kids. This is our happy family time every day. (note, it does not include husband. Well, it's still nice.). Get them on the bus (7 and 7:45), then work out, either at the gym or working up a sweat doing chores- yard work, cleaning, whatever. Kill two birds with one stone I think. Then I eat. Then take care of misc. things (meetings, appointments, shopping, therapy, etc) then nap, then .... Ok, holy ****, I guess I am about the laziest person here. I don't know what I do until 4pm when the kids get home. Then, dinner and hanging out with husband if he's home, bath, bedtime around 8pm. I'm usually asleep by 10 unless it's one of THOSE nights.
Now I am trying to decide if I should go back to work part time, or continue going as above. If I don't go back to work, I will be spending time looking for a cheaper house, and getting this one ready to sell. We also have a totally ghetto property that is uninhabitable now, but I enjoy going over there and working on it. I can't really fix it up properly because that would mean spending money. No job, no money. But with a job, no time.
I should add, my little girl has serious health needs, so that is a HUGE source of stress, which I can't control or eliminate.
Ok, so that is my story. Thanks for reading. :-)
