Typical day in your life...
I know what most of you girls do career wise but not all of you. I was just kinda wondering what a typical day was for everyone...kinda give everyone a glimpse into our lives......
Me...just depends on the day really.
I get up at about 6 on Mon and wed's and head to work. I scan xray files to hospitals. I have school in the middle of my work day and then I hit the gym after work, get home around 7 (but usually later) eat, watch a little tv, hang out with Macy do a little facebooking and then go to bed! My weeknights are usually uneventful.
Tues and thurs I get up around 5 and head to spin at 545! Then it is off to work (bored for 8 hrs usually lol) and then back to the gym! Once I get home it is the same o routine.
Fridays I work 830-5, depending on when my vball game is I may hit the gym or just head over to Pauls. Then we usually play vball til like 1130 and I head back to Pauls and we stay up for hrs just talking and having a blast!
Re: Typical day in your life...
I have the same routine M-F. Here it is
5:15 - alarm goes off
5:45 - jump out of bed rush around get ready
6:25 - out the door - if I leave later I won't make my train
6:41 - Train arrives jump on and ride to work
7:30 - arrive at work
7:30-8:00 - eat breakfast, nest and relax
8-5 work
5:01 - leave work
5:16 - get on the train
5:55 - arrive at the train station
6:10-15 - arrive at home
then I eat dinner, go to the gym, shower, blog, nest, head to bed. Yep that is my very interesting days. It's the same old thing every day.
M-F the alarm goes off at 6. I ignore it until 6:30.
Then its up, get ready, and go to work. I'm usually out of the house between 7:30 and 7:45 (so at work between 7:45 and 8)
Working 8 - 5. Some days I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off and others I am not. There is no balance and while I try to get work done on those slow days so my crazy days aren't crazy it doesn't work out that way. Sigh.
5:00 I'm out the door and heading home. On a good day. If I have to work late it could be any time after that.
Home between 5:15 and 5:30 depending on traffic (or if I'm working late).
Workout until 6/6:15 (right now anyway with the 30DS)
Dinner 6:30 (sharp! otherwise FIL freaks out that we're eating so late)
7-7:30ish - dinner clean up and feed dogs. its always after dinner just depending on how long we eat.
After that it's whatever - TV, internet, misc. house things until bed time which can range anywhere from 10 - 12 but usually closer to 10 than anything else.
typical same mon-fri routine
6:30am: kick serg to get him out of bed after his alarm has already gone off 5 times
7:30am: shower, let goosey girl out
8:00am: drive to work blasting some happy music to get my day started
8:30am: get to work where I work in Youth marketing/advertising as a prog. coordinator... fairly interesting job when we actually have programs running.
1:00pm: eat lunch with my coworkers, usually have a few good laughs
2:00pm: "work" and wait for 5pm to come around
5:00pm: drive home or to my sisters house to spend time with my nieces
I spend the rest of my night mooching off our parents dinner or cooking for dh when i'm motivated enough, i like to catch up on my DVR shows and paint or craft, spend time with serg & goose ... thats a day in my life... usually in bed between 9:30pm-11:30pm depending on who is over and what i'm doing.
usually the same routine
M-F I set the alarm for 5:45 and usually get up around 6:15 and head to work.
Work form 8:15 until 3:09 (teacher) and then head home in taffic. On Thursday nights i teach dance in NJ and worjk there from 4 until 7:30.
I usually fall asleep around 10 sometimes earlier. I really should go to the gym more but after grading papers and doing things around the house and DH getting home form work I usually don't feel like going.
Since I'm a SAHM now with a 1 month old, there's really no schedule but we usually get up between 7:30-8:30. I feed the dog and cat, and try to get breakfast for myself before DS needs to eat again!
I usually spend most of the day in my living room, nursing my son and going on the internet. When he naps, I'll try to get some cleaning done.
When DH gets home we eat dinner, then we hang out or watch tv.
It's pretty boring and I feel so lazy but I don't sleep a full 8 hours anymore, so I guess I'm entitled!
-5am one alarm goes off. Keep hitting snooze till bout 530
-5:15 the other alarm goes off. Keep hitting that snooze till about 530
-eat and do my makeup while I check facebook till 6:15
-throw on my work clothes, brush my teeth, set tj's alarm, feed the cats and run out the door by 6:30
-7am park and get on the shuttle
-7:30-4 work. Where I'm a medical coder.
-4pm, head for the shuttle
-4:25pm, get to my car and leave
-4:45pm-5:30pm, checking on my gram and great aunt. Which involves doing little errands for them. Making food if they want it. Always have to give them their afternoon toast and coffee, alllways. Then little things around there for them... check gram's oxygen machine, give aunt her pills etc.
-5:45-6 get home to a yummy dinner from the TJ.
As for the evening. I check my facebook and the nest.. if my POS pc will let me that day lol. Usual everyday errands/'chores'. Hanging out w/ tj. watch my shows.
Till between 10pm and 12am- its shower time.. then i get my work clothes ready for the next day.. then either pass out on the couch while tj watches something or we head to bed.
I wake up at 5:30 most days!
start working at 6-6:30 when david leaves for work and Isabelle is passed out so she doesn't bother me.
I'm either editing, blogging (which is a giant PITA to do right), album design, prepping orders and placing or answering emails. I need to start networking more and more but it's a giant PITA.
I end up eating lunch around 1-1:30 and then *** around until david gets home around 6 because Isabelle is nuts during that time. Then when he can take care of her I do more work for about 2-3 hours depending. Sometimes in the afternoons I can't be on the computer so I may do some marketing brainstorming, business planning, or cleaning of my office.
My days vary and are really open right now since I don't have weddings all that much, I need to get 100% caught up though and that's hard for me to do because I hate not having anything to do! So I procrastinate always knowing I'll have SOMETHING to work on...I need to get over that, anyone want to be my life coach? lol
Everyday is different for me now that I'm back in school and my schedule working at Kohl's varies every week, but here's a glimpse into my schedule:
Monday: Get up at 7, leave for work at 8, work 8:30-12:30, go right to the gym from 1-3, and then work at Kohls from 4-10:30, or not depending on the schedule, but I usually do.
Tuesday: Get up at 7, leave for work at 8, work 8:30-12:30, drive to the bus stop, take the bus down to school, school from 2-7 p.m., then go home and either do homework or just sit and watch t.v. which is what I'm doing now.
Wednesday: get up at 5, catch the bus for school at 5:45, school from 7-12:30 p.m., catch the bus home, work at Kohls 4-10:30
Thursday, get up at 6, drive to school, do homework/study, class from 9:30-12:30, drive to work, work from 1-5, come home and either go to the gym, or study
Friday: exactly the same as Wednesday, but my hours at Kohls sometimes vary at night
My schedule varies by day, but here's a basic idea:
Monday: wake up at 5, get ready for work, leave the house at 6, get to work at 7. 7-8:30 work, then take the bus to school, school from 9-10, then back on the bus to work, work 10:30-7pm. Then drive home, get home around 8, make dinner, pack lunch for the next day, then study. Go to bed around 11pm
Tuesday: up at 5, leave at 6, downtown by 7, bus up to school, class 8-11, work 11:30-5:30, home by 7, dinner, pack lunch, study, then bed at 11
Wednesday: up at 5, leave at 6, work from 7-5:30, home by 7, dinner, pack lunch, study, bed at 11
Thursday: up at 5, leave at 6, downtown by 7, bus to school, class 8-10, work 10:30-5:30, home by 7, dinner, study, bed at 11
Friday: up at 5:30, bus to work, work 8-5pm, bus home, home by 6:30, run some errands, study, do laundry, etc.
I pretty much do the same thing every weekday except I sometimes throw in some sort of workout on a few days.
Up at 7am. Get ready for work, eat breakfast and out the door around 8am.
Depending on the traffic, get to work between 8:30 and 9 (supposed to be there by 9) I basically do technically editing for the engineering department of my company.
Work until 5 most days and then either work out at the office gym or head home.
Dinner is around 6 or so.
The rest of the night varies between shower time, TV, spending time with H, etc. I try to go to bed between 10 and 11.
7:00- Wake up and eat breakfest and drink coffee, let the dogs out
8:30- Take a shower and start getting ready for work
9:30- I run around town going or pick up the house
10:00-11:30- Getting ready to leave for work
11:30-5:30 M-F Work
5:30- 6:00- Cook dinner and eat and let the dog outs
7:00- Gym
8:00- Come home and watch my shows
9:00- Go to bed
I really admire you!
Aww, thanks Gerrie!
M-F is the same for me except on workout days. Sat & Sun - errands galore.
6:10 am wake up, brush teeth, get dressed, a little make-up, and then get my freshly brewed coffee which brews right at 6:40am
6:55am driving out to work, to be there at 7am or so. (5 minute commute, hate me)
7:05 - Sitting at my desk at work - eat breakfast, drink coffee, check emails, try to nest if I can during the day. (depending on what I can do for the day, blog recipes, or actually work) It's been alot of work lately. bleh.
12pm - Lunch - it's the time I always take it -and I read during lunch. Usually leftovers or soup/salad.
330pm - Head home or run errands. **Target errand days are the best!**
335pm - Change clothes into PJs, clean up coffeemaker, start prepping dinner, and clean out my lunchbag.
5pm- Catch up on some tv, maybe nap or take a bubble bath, or get ready for the gym.
***Tues/Thurs and Fri - I head to the gym around 5 or 5:30pm after prepping dinner, and having a small portion of it. Spin class, shower at gym, and head home...I'm usually at the gym for about 2.5 hours. Get home by 8 or 830pm depending how late I hang out with everyone at the gym. lol
830 to 10pm - Prep our breakfasts & lunches for the next day, maybe watch some more tv, but this time with Eric. He gets home around 7 or 730pm, depending on his projects for work.
915pm or so - drink decaf hot tea...it relaxes me and I get sleepy like 30 mins
10 to 10:30pm -head to bed.
**I never nest or facebook at home because I never have time for it, if I do, it's usually a quick check on the email.**
