Daily Schedule

Schedules are one of my favorite things...along with hot chocolate, crisp Autumn days, and my family! One thing I have discovered since becoming a mom is that sometimes schedules get thrown out the window. Another thing I have learned is that as soon as you get a schedule nailed down, it changes. I am experiencing that as I type.

Let me say that I love nap time (I should add it to my list of favorite things)! Nap time is when I get most of my work done. It is amazing how much I can get done in such a short period of time when I am not doing double duty and I'm able to focus on one thing at a time.

I am content with the 1 1/2 to 2 hour morning nap and the 1 1/2 to 2 hour afternoon nap that L usually takes. Lately he fusses more during nap time and it takes him longer to fall asleep in the afternoon, which means he wakes up around 5:00 pm and that is a little late.

I am beginning to accept the reality that L no longer needs a morning nap. *gasp*

With all of this being said, here is a look at our future weekday daily schedule (this is a rolling schedule):

6:50 am - Alarm starts going off
8:00 am - L wakes up and we eat breakfast
8:30 am - Off to work in my home office
12:00 pm - Lunch
1:15 pm - Put L down for a nap and back to work for me
4:00 pm - L wakes up and gets a snack (Am I being too optimistic that he will nap for almost 3 hrs?)
5:00 pm - Shut computer off and go fix dinner

My husband usually gets home between 5:45 and 6:15 pm and we try to work out before dinner. L usually goes to bed around 8:30 or 8:45 pm and it's off to bed for us around 10:30 pm.

Is it perfect? No. Does it work for us? Most of the time. Would it work for everyone? Probably not because all families are different with their own priorities and obligations.

Happy napping scheduling!
