My Routine

So I have settled into life in Ireland and into the family routine. The routine during the week is pretty normal for a family that has school age kids. This is basically how my week goes Monday through Friday:

Kids - Jack (9 yr. old), Charlie (4 yr. old), Gracie (now 6 months)

7:45am - Wake up and get ready

8:00am - Go downstairs and make the boys' lunch and feed Gracie

 (boys have breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth)

9:05am - Bring boys to school
(first Jack, then to the Creche with Charlie and on Tuesday and Wednesday with Gracie)

9:30am - 12:30pm - Tidy the kitchen, sweep/hoover, wash and dry dishes, make "dinner" for Charlie, tidy sitting room, tidy hallway, my room (if needed)
(When I have Grace, feed and entertain her, try to get her to sleep)

12:30pm - Pick up Charlie from Creche and feed him

12:30pm - 3:00pm - Play with Charlie, feed Gracie, tidy kitchen again, wash and dry dishes, make "dinner" for Jack

3:00pm - Pick up Jack from school and feed him, feed Charlie

3:30pm - Jack starts jobs (chores), I tidy kitchen again and entertain Charlie and Gracie

4:00pm - Everyone goes outside to play (weather permitting)

5:00pm - 5:30pm - Come inside and get the boys food if wanted.... Entertain the boys
(James home from work)

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, some Sat./Sun. - 6:30pm - ?? - Jack has Gaelic football/soccer training or game/athletics/games

6:30pm?? - Judi comes home

8:00pm - Charlie to bed/Gracie to bed

8:00pm - 9:00pm - Jack home/shower/eat/bed

Then I do what I want.....

I don't always work all those hours depending if James or Judi is home; also, it's not a lot of housework just normal tidying up....

It can be a long day... but it's good.
