Party of Five

On any given school day, here is my schedule.

I wake up at 5:20-5:30 depending on how many times I smack the snooze button.
Hit the shower right after I get the coffee going. I get out and get dressed. In our house, that usually entails me hunting in the dark and trying to let my husband sleep.

6 a.m. I wake up the two biggest girls, get breakfast going for them and dry my hair.

If the hairdryer doesn't wake up the baby, I get her up and give her a bottle and some cereal. When she's in her highchair, I do whatever else I need to to get out of the house.

7 a.m. Load up the car.

7:15 School drop off
7:30 Babysitter drop off
7:50 Frantically rush into my school to sign in and get ready for first period which starts at...
8:00 a.m - 3:00 p.m. I'm in teaching mode.
At 3:00, the taxi service is up and running again.
3:15 get big girls
3:30 get little girl.
4:00 home! change clothes, get girls a snack, and start supper.

We eat early so I can get everyone bathed and in bed.
from 4:30- 5:30, it's homework, piano practice and stories of the day.
5:30- eat
After that, we clean up what we can and leave the rest undone. Boo for that.

7:00 Bath time for kids
7:30 Bed time for baby
8:00 bed time for big kids
9:00 I'm either asleep or getting some cleaning done.

THIS is why I LOVE SUMMER.

In the summer, I have no schedule!

That is one crazy day for you.
How do you do it?

I don't... I mean I do do all that, but I feel like so much gets left UNdone that I feel nothing gets done well. Good thing I'm not too caught up in my accomplishments; I'd want to crawl in a hole and die! Oh, wait. I've heard that before!
