What Do You People DO All Day, Anyway?

[MissCris]

Because I'm nosy, and because I am at home all day and have time to notice what time ya'll usually log on/off, I was curious...

What's your average day like?

Be as specific or vague as you please

I'll go first:

Wake up between 5:30-7:00 a.m.
Feed baby
Drink too much coffee while browsing the forums
Feed toddler
Contemplate house work, possibly even begin
Wander through yard, scanning for evil weeds in places they have no right to be
CC
...CC
Possibly more house-holdy type junk
Chase a kid
Feed a kid
Play with kid(s)
CC
Lunch? Or more coffee?
NAP!!!
CC
Begin to dread cooking dinner
Play with kids
...oh, feed kids and whatnot...
...and lots of diaper changing...
CC
Dinner-cremation-ceremony wherein we sacrifice meat or pasta or vegetables to the Stove and proceed to try to eat it (the burnt food, not the Stove)
Play with kids
Try to have a conversation with my husband
CC
Mostly fall asleep in my chair, whilst CC'ing and mostly successfully having conversation with my husband because kids might be sleeping
Shuffle off to bed and drool on my pillow for about 7 hours

 

[Jullianna]

I'm up normally pretty early.
I usually run in the morning or late evening with my dog, but I can't for 2.5 more months (foot injury)
Check email and other stuff.
I work until around noon, then eat lunch and go back to work.
I eat dinner, do laundry/dishes
Work a little more at home
On Weds evenings I have Bible study; Thursdays I normally have a ballet class, but am not teaching during the Summer
Read, watch tv, play music during the week, or spend time with my son if he is home (which is pretty rare at his age. )

On the weekends I clean house, get groceries, do yard work and other domestic stuff.
Saturday afternoons/evenings are fun times with friends.

Sunday AMs I lead worship/have church
Usually have brunch with family/friends
Get a nap if I am lucky (it's quite a luxury) or do something fun.
Sunday night is Bible study night.

 

[yac11]

I get up about 6:00 am

Go for a run about 3 miles is the norm

Then take shower, take the dog for a long walk about another 1.5 miles

Eat breakfast

Go to the nursing home and check on my Aunt

Go to work at car wash about 8 hours a day

Go to second job, hospital receptionist about 3 hours

Come home make dinner for hubby

Rub his back for only 15 minutes

Study my bible for about 1 hour

Go to bed

Just kidding....couldn't resist. I am so bored since my foot injury today and to do something fun.

Julianna,

You actually just said that on Thursday's you have a ballet class.

This is exactly why I'm NOT posting my schedule for you people.

I'm not necessarily saying it's because I have a ballet class...
I'm just saying it's nobody's business whether or not I wear pink tights, and a tutu, and prance around like a swan.

: )

 

[GreenNnice]

Now, it's get up early 5am, check internet business stuff, work trade research and economic cues til' market opens, deal 'til one (also, intermittent playtime with my dog and I try not to forget to feed my tummy mornings), sometimes after-hours trading, then, do sales biz work, mailing junk, and, that schedule is M-F and also I have Wed. bible study and Sunday morning and evening church and I sometimes see mom weekends, and, my sister and her kids, but they live a long ways away, on the ocean, so I don't see them that much but try to get out there at least a couple times a month. Saturday nights, too, I go to car races with my dad, summertimes.I also go see my friend I've known for 35 years and his family occassionally, he's a sports nut, and, I'm too, but can really take it or leave it, but, the Lord leads, I get into it, too, and, I like analyzing things, like, stocks, ahem, and, so, I try to tell him, his wife, and two teen boys about the Lord through our friendship of so many years that's always included sports and James Bond and eating out and fishing pretty soon since they got me a nice fishing pole and they live on a river

Note to julieannie and maxamillian smart: Ballet is a cool sport, guys do it too. I did not wear a tutu but I was in the college ballet, :"Romeo and Juliiet' as one of the Capulet's (Juliet's side of the family, for you non-Shakespearean folk ) and I fenced (that's sword fighting, for you non-cool sport minded folk ) and I died fencing and I then was in a ballroom dancing scene and I was also a pall-bearer for you know who , well, you will know IF you watch/read the play
OK, I'm done, ALMOST, derailing this nice thread by crismizz

LOL, to your schedule, too, I always think about housework too and growing up, NO DOUBT weeds were EVIL, well, 'weeding' them was, anyway. Hated it. Mom had a big garden and that was the WORK she wanted me to do, she would pay me too. But, I hated it and, therefore, did not do it very much. I was a soccer player ! Soccer players don't weed .Now, though, I do weed for mom, in her little garden area. See, I changed

Hey Shouryu, I didn't know you were a music teacher. That reminded me of when I played drums in high school. In marching band, one of our drum instructor's favorite things was to make us play a drum roll while he walked down to the corner and ordered a slice of pizza (his dinner). We weren't allowed to stop until he got back. It actually helped us develop good technique lol.

 

[DuchessAimee]

My schedule completely depends on which day it is. I'll tell you about today.

7:15am: wake up and contemplate whether I actually HAVE to go to work.
7:17am: realize that I do.
7:20am: get in shower and talk myself out of staying there until the hot water runs out.
7:35am: decide if I'm going to blow dry my hair. Nope, not today.
7:36am: go into kitchen and get a sort of breakfast.

Ya know what, y'all? I thought I was going to be able to commit to writing out my day, but not so much. I'm running on 2 hours sleep, and I have to get up even early tomorrow than I did today. So peace out, homies.

 

[Nautilus]

wake up early or sleep in late depending on work, go here: Tavo Restaurant & Tavern | "Wow, There's Nothing Like It" and cook till i get off, come home and fill time with random activities until i fall asleep.

on a non workday
sleep til about 8:30 or 9.
get up. check fb. check cc. check email.
listen to about 5 catchy songs to get my blood flowing while i drink at least 8 ounces of water.

i post a facebook status.

i go feed the stray cats outside.

i post a facebook status.

in an hour and a half, i eat breakfast. i usually get on cc while i eat breakfast. or i put on an episode of the big bang theory. then after i finish eating i begin to torment myself about my list of things to do and how i never do it.

i post 2 fb statuses.

then i go through the list in my head and pick the most easy to do and i do it.
today, it's laundry. if i have energy, i will do my step aerobics mid afternoon and then rejoice that that was the only accomplishment truly worth doing and that i did it.

i post 3 fb statuses.

then depression sets in.
what my life is. that i have no friends. what am i doing in israel. blah blah blah. i berate myself for at least 40 minutes before i find something to watch and munch on chocolate to ease the pain of my loneliness.

i check cc again.

i post a fb status.

i feed the cats again. i shower. i fold my clean laundry and then leave it in a pile on the floor for 3 days when i will actually put it away (another mighty accomplishment)

i post a fb status.

i cry about what my life is.
i write down in my mood journal that i cried about what my life is.

i go to bed and sleep about 9 hours. i dream about what my life could be.

 

[NikkiMier]

[BananaPie]

The usual:
