Computer time? Easy enough for us working-outside-the-homes. I take quick breaks and come here.

I'm working outside the home full time and working on becoming SAHM. Well, if my hubby decides to get a different job, rather than be a SAHD, that is.

I'm up 5:30-6am most weekdays and get myself ready.

Babe wakes up between 6 and 7, and if I'm close to ready, I like to be the one to change/feed him first and cuddle a while. Hubby then uses that time to go out and feed livestock (horses right now).

I leave for work 7:30 am. Hubby either stays home all day w/ babe, or takes him to grandma's down the road 2 days a week.

If he's at grandma's, I usually pick him up at 5:30. Then we head home where I feed babe dinner, hubby feeds livestock, and then most of the time, hubby makes dinner while I play w/ babe and get him ready for babe.

I hate daylight savings time. We just started it this year, and it only means we work outdoors and hour later, but still get up at the same time..... ANd it's thrown babe's sleep schedule off. He now goes down between 8 and 9 most nights.

SAHD and WOHM usually eat between 8 and 9 pm. I HATE eating so late. But that's just the way it is now. Once babe's a little older, we'll eat together on his schedule, and the livestock will just have to work around it....

Then I shower at night and do housework until I'm stumbling around and trying to get in bed by 10 (I start getting really tired and "hitting the wall" at 8 though).

I do best on 8 hours of sleep at night. The months I stayed home w/ babe in the beginning were GREAT - because I just went to bed at the same time he did - very early.
