A Day in the Life.

Mine is somewhat different -

12 noon - get out of bed

Start home schooling our son (12) - he has already done all his independent work and I am there for math, english and history.

We work until about 4 or 5pm - during that time I am also preparing dinner, doing household chores, etc

No later than 5pm I am in the shower to get ready for work

Shortly after that my husband is home from work and we have dinner

I leave for work about 6pm

Husband does science and anything needed school wise with son in evening

I work until 3am

Get home by 3:30am

Finally get to sleep about 4:30 or 5am - after working in a busy ER your brain just can't unwind and go straight to sleep

Sleep until time to do it all over again

I am off every other weekend and 1 day during the week


This schedule sounds crazy but it works for us !!

Too funny! So many say that, but honestly I think I have TOO MUCH TIME on my hands. My mind has too much time to think or whatever, LOL.

After I wrote my first post on here listing my day I went out on the deck to have a smoke and I was thinking about my post. I thought to myself, "gosh is that really all I do??" LOL!! I know there are days when I do more, but moreso not so much really on most days.

Today honestly I've done nothing. I signed off here and went to take a nap, just woke up not too long ago. But it was a long late night etc last night so a nap was just the ticket today!
