I feel like such a waste!
I only work 2 days and a week for 4 hours babysitting a little boy. The rest of the the days I get up whenever, but I trying to get up a bit earlier now so I don't waste the morning. So trying to get up at about 7:45.
Then I'll take a shower and eat breakfast. Then I'll want more food... ugh.... Wish I could get food off my mind. Watch some tv. I clean the kitchen and do the dishwasher from the night before. Have lunch. Sometimes go to the store for some groceries. Rarely I'll go visit friend or something. I hate not having my family here :'(
Then I'll start making dinner about when hubby comes home from work. We'll eat, then usually watch a tv show. :P Boring really.
I can't even get more of a job since being pregnant noone will hire me.

Im such a lady of leisure and do as I please so am going to get a major wake up call when bubba arrives!
haha. I'm the same as you but since becoming pregnant I sleep until 10! I'm excited for the changes coming but since I will be a stay at home mom of one I know it won't be too much. I think I would be overwhelmed with any more than one.
I am the same! Mainly because I had to quit my job where I was previously living to change provinces due to OH's career move and since haven't found work where I am now-although we plan on moving back to where we originally were anyways!

3:00 am--toddler wakes up for a early morning snack..bottle....just can't seem to get rid of this bottle.
6:00am- alarm goes off, and my hectic morning begins. time to wake up partner, my 10 year old and 7 year old.
6:10, 6:20 and 6:30 am- yell again for them to get out of bed, they are going to miss the bus if they don't get their butts moving.
6:20 am--make 3 lunches for my kids/ partner.
6:40 am still fighting to get the kids moving...get dressed, bookbags packed, coats, boots......socks......all the while I am gagging and trying not to puke.
7:00am Patner is off to work, the kids have successfully woke up the toddler who is now ready to ram and make messes.
7:15 am- kids on bus and off to school...
7:20am- give toddler a sippy with milk and put her in her favorite rocker chair, so I can finally catch my breath. Lay down for about an hour, until my head stops spinning....
8:00-9:00am-begin housework, dishes, laundry, meal plans.
9-12-chase toddler and clean up the trail of distruction she leaves behind her, make lunch for us.
1pm-3 pm- watch some tv, while cleaning and housework.
3 pm-kids get off bus and the fighting begins. Homework, cleaning their room, supper, bath,
by 8:00pm I put them to bed.

But from 3pm until 8:00 pm its al like a whirl wind...sports activites are included weeknights, there is softball, basketball...ect...

from 8-10pm I just sit numb on the couch watching TV, trying to sort out my thoughts!! Maybe I get to shower, or soak in a bath...But I wouldn't change it for the world, these kids are my life..and why not throw a newborn into the mix in October!!!!!

6.30-7.30am: press snooze, wake up, shower, get dressed, feed the cat.
7.30-7.45am: make and eat breakfast, wash up, pack bag for work.
7.45am: leave for work, wait for bus, get to work about 8.30am.
8.45am-3.45pm: work (quite physical work supporting children with special needs)

Monday and Tuesday I get a lift home from a friend, am home by 4.15pm, relax in front of the telly for an hour, then do some housework and pretend when OH gets home at 6 that I've worked for 2! One of us cooks our dinner, the other washes up. We usually cuddle on the sofa for a while after we eat or if OH has work to do I watch tv. I feed the cat before bed at 9.30/10pm

Weds I go straight from work to my other job, supporting a 12yr old with cerebral palsy in his home. I meet him from his school bus, hoist him onto his bed, change his clothes and pad, make and puree his dinner, hoist him back into his wheelchair, feed him while we watch one of his dvds, I prepare and give his medicines and a 'top up' feed via gastric tube, then we play a game or computer for a bit. Then I do his physio, I get him ready for bed and stay over in the spare room with a monitor and get up during the night when he wakes to reposition him. Then I wake up at 6am to get myself ready, wake him at 6.30 and get him ready for the school bus at 8am. Then I go straight to my main job!

On Thurs after work I go food shopping and home by bus by 5.30pm. I'm pretty shattered on Thurs evening so I don't do a lot.

Friday evening we usually go out to eat or watch a film at home with popcorn.

At weekends we see friends and family, and get housework done.

Monday-Friday can be a bit crazy for me. Saturday/Sunday is a lot more relaxed typically so this schedule is only for weekdays.

7am: Wake up with daughter and get dressed
7:30am: Make breakfast
8:00am: Eat breakfast
8:30am: Leave to take LO to school
9:00am: Drop off at school
9:20am: Arrive at the University and head to class

^^^That's the same every day. Tuesdays I get home from class at 10:30pm and DH has the reigns at home so the following schedule doesn't count Tuesday. And Monday nights my daughter has dance class from 6-7pm so that kind of throws a wrench into plans then at least for dinner and that night tends to be a bit more disorganized and more often than not we end up with takeout or something I prepared and froze beforehand for dinner.

2:30pm: Classes done for the day.
3:00pm: Pick LO up at school.
3:30pm: Get home and go through my daughter's school work for the day.
3:45-5pm: Do whatever chores need to be done.
5pm-6pm: Play with my daughter.
6pm: Cook dinner.
6:30pm: Eat dinner with daughter and husband if he's home.
7pm-8pm: Try to relax with DD, read some books, maybe watch a little TV, play a board game, etc.
8pm: Bed time for DD. Brush teeth, get changed into pjs, read a bedtime story, etc.
8:30pm-whenever I finish: Do homework and try to get some reading for class done. If I'm lucky and not much has to be done maybe try to catch up on whatever novel I've been reading.
10/11pm: Sleep.
