Daily Schedule

Disclaimer:  I am know I am probably more of a planner than most and that can drive some people crazy. 

I have always tried to be pretty organized and have always been a list maker.  I love routine and schedule, I really do!  It keeps me together.  Jayson on the ohter hand, hates plans and schedules.  He just does not get it!  I think he might be better at it if he did not have me doing it for him :)  So in honor of schdules, I thought I would post what a normal weekday is like.

5:30am                  Alarm goes off, snooze once
5:45am                  Get ready, get car loaded with pump (add diaper bag and bottles if Lana is going to grandparents)
6:00am-6:10am    Wake Lana up, change wet diaper, and feed her  
6:25am-6:35am     Leave house
6:40am                  Lana to grandparents or head to work
7:00am-10:00am   Work
10:00am                Pump
11:30am-12:15pm Nap if I am lucky!
12:30pm-2:00pm   Work
2:00pm                  Pump
2:20pm-5:00pm     Work
5:30pm                  Home or Pick up Lana
5:45pm                  Home if I had to get Lana
5:45pm-6:00pm    Change clothes and play
6:00pm-6:30pm    Feed Lana and dogs
6:30pm-6:45pm    Start Dinner and Lana's food
7:00pm                 Feed Lana and try finish our dinner
7:20pm-7:30pm    Done with dinner, lay Lana down if she needs it
7:30pm-8:00pm    Pick up house, play with Lana if she is awake, maybe take a bath if she naps, wash and make bottles for next day
8:00pm-8:15pm    Get Lana up
8:15pm-9:00pm    Play, bath, diaper bag ready if needed
9:00pm-9:15pm    Feed Lana and put her to bed
9:15pm-10:00pm  Finish cleaning kitchen, house, getting bottles ready, bath etc. 

Well, that is a typical day in my world.  I think it will be neat to look back on and see how things change.  Right now the evenings are pretty much consumed with either nursing her, feeding her, or trying to feed ourselves!  Jayson and I have worked out a deal that I will cook dinner and he will clean up the dishes.  It works well on most nights.  Last night he did ask me if I made any tea.  Ha!  Do you see a time slot in there for make tea?  That is why I drink water during the week.  Sometimes there will be tea in there, but not often.  I do feel bad since he does not like water as much as me and usually ends up with a few pops that are not very good for him.  I will try to do better with making better meals and yes tea, but it is hard.  Our meals are the hardest.  I dont think he really knows what goes into making a meal at the end of the work day along with taking care of Lana.  Lana and her needs come first and I know our meals have been severely compromised becasue of it.  I know it will get easier, but for now I will continue to do my best and hopefully he will see that.  Still, there is not a thing or minute I would change!  (Unless I could add more time to the day to see Lana  and Jayson of course!)
