Daily rountine
After reading the bedtime thread, I thought it might be kind of interesting to see what everyone's usual daily routine was. Mine for example:
7:30: Wake up, get ready for work
8:20: Walk to subway to commute for work
9:00 - 6:00: I work in customer service so my work day is completely unstructured. I do work whenever I can. I usually eat lunch at 12ish.
6:00 - 6:30: Leave work, walk 10 minutes to the gym.
6:30 - 7:20: Work out, walk to the subway to commute home
8:00: Arrive home. Try to get as much done as possible before I sit down to eat dinner (usually something made in the crockpot over the weekend).
8:30: Eat in front of the TV (one day I will have a kitchen table!)
9:00: Clean up for the night.
9:30: Watch a little more TV, check my e-mail, googlereader, etc.
10:00: Start getting ready for bed, read to relax
11:00: Hopefully asleep!

9:00pm: M goes to bed, I go on computer and watch more t.v. (or a movie)
Anywhere from 10:00pm - Midnight: Go to bed and lay there until I fall asleep.
My morning schedule is very structured because I'm at school teaching. It goes as follows:
5:30AM - 6:30 AM: Get up, shower, and get ready
6:30AM - 7:20 AM: Leave house for work, eat breakfast on the commute (bad I know)

10:58AM - 11:41AM: Teach class
11:45AM - 12:28PM: Lunch
After 12:30 everything gets switched up depending on what I have to do that afternoon and what students sites I have to visits. I am done everyday by 3:30PM
I am usually home from work by 4PM. My evening varies by day. Monday is usually my free night to hang out and do stuff with DH. Tuesday and Friday I go to the chiropractor right after work and then home. IWednesday nights I go riding at 5PM and then usually hang out at the barn for a few hours. Thursday night I have class at our union building from 4PM-7PM. I always try to be in bed by 10PM on school night.
6:00- Alarm goes off. (I hit snooze)
6:09(I have no idea why :09)- Alarm goes off again. I get up...usually. I wake DH up, let the cat out, get in the shower.
6:20ish- Out of the shower, make breakfast(usually in my underwear or the towel I got out of the shower with.) While breakfast cooks I put my clothes on. Eat, fix my hair.
6:35ish- Put Snaps sweater on him if it's gonna be cold, put him out, feed him.

9-10 = relaxing, packing lunch and setting out clothes for the next day
I try to get to bed by 10, and lately I've been crashing on the couch at 9.

6-7 - live in denial that the alarm is going off and hit snooze every 9 minutes. Snuggle closer to Scarlett and fall back to sleep while regretting that I let her sleep in the bed again.
7-7:30 - throw clothes in the dryer so I don't have to iron them, wash face, brush teeth, brush hair, get dressed, carefully move baby from bed to crib and pray that she doesn't wake up, pack bag for work so I can get out the door no later than 7:30A
7:30 - Scarlett wakes up and starts crying, decide whether or not I want to drive today because I might miss the train if I fix her a bottle, or decide between the bottle and the swing
7:32 - make a mad dash for the car and drive like gangbusters to the train station
7:54 - get on the train, which is 5 minutes late despite my rushing, put in my iPhone headphones and play an NPR show, a TED Conference, music or leave it silent just to keep people form talking to me while I read a book for the next 40 minutes. Somewhere around the next to last stop I put my makeup on. If I do this at home, I doddle.
8:35 - just miss the good shuttle that gets me to work early and take the later shuttle which gets me there just on time - or, if shoes permit, run down to the subway and get some exercise, grab a small breakfast

10-10:30 entertain the baby and the dog
10:30 - try to get everyone to bed (except J), but the dog wants to jump around and Scarlett wants to be held and play
11-12 - give up on trying to sleep, get Scarlett another bottle and rock her in the chair, try to move her only for her to wake up again, back to feeding and rocking, bring her into bed with me and pass out
12-1 - sleep until Scarlett wakes up screaming, SCREAMING, and J comes and gets her
1-2:30 - sleep until J practically tosses Scarlett back into bed with me because he's tired and can't entertain her any more, pray that she falls asleep
