A day in the life:

• 6:30-8:30 Morning routine (lunches, drive Eldest to school, wake/feed the Littles, make self presentable)
• 8:30-9:00 Morning commute (w/ possible drop-off of 1-2 of the Littles)
• 9:00-5:30 Work
• 5:30-6:00 Evening commute (w/ possible pickup of 1-2 of the Littles)
• 6:00-7:00 Dinner prep, dinner
• 7:00-8:30 Playtime with kids (DH is the bomb!)
• 8:30-9:30 Bedtime routine (baths, books, PJs)
• 9:30-10:00 Cleanup
• 10:00-12:00 (or 1:00) More work and/or some TV

 

So here’s a handy comparison between how much I spend versus how much I would like to spend on different tasks (below, 0<x<2).

 

Clearly, what my day is missing is 8 additional hours.  My hope is for the humanity to populate a planet with a 32-hour day ASAP.

In other news, it’s finals week…
