Our Schedule

I am currently doing 5 hours in the office, and the rest of the day working from home for January and February, and it is Dan's busy season. Our schedule won't look like this forever.

5:00 am

• I feed Olivia

5:15 am

• Olivia goes back to bed
• I shower / get ready for work

6:00 am

• Our glorious coffee pot turns on and starts making the only thing that can get us through the day

6:15 am

• I drive to work
• Dan gets up, makes his breakfast, watches the news, etc.

7:30 / 8:00 am

• Olivia wakes up
• Dan feeds her a bottle, gets her dressed and heads to daycare

9:00 am

• Olivia is dropped off at daycare

12:00 pm

• I leave work after a seemingly short five hours

1:00 pm

• I pick Olivia up from daycare

1:15 pm

• Feed Olivia
• Play with her

2:00 pm

4:30 / 5:00 pm

• Olivia wakes up

• Play with Olivia

6:00 pm

• Olivia naps

7:00 pm

7:30 pm

• Olivia's bedtime routine: bath, bottle, rocking, bed

8:30 pm

• Olivia is down for the night
• I clean up the TORNADO of Olivia things that somehow happened in less than a day
• Clean the kitchen
• Make bottles for daycare
• Do dishes
• Prepare coffee for the next morning
• Pack my car

9:30 / 10:00 pm

• Wash my hair and dry it (no one wants to do that at five am)
• Let the dog out - hope I didn't lock her in a room, inadvertently, hours ago
• Get ready for bed

11:00 pm

• Dan is home from work! (hopefully)
• Set my alarm
• Cry a little because my phone just said "alarm is set for 6 hours from now" or "5 and change"

5:00 am

• Groundhog day

It makes for a busy day but it is such a wonderful mix of seeing Olivia and getting my work done that I don't want it to end. I would enjoy Dan coming home a teeny bit earlier, but we know this is temporary.
