Off topic. So what do you all do with yourselves when you aren't online?

[FurBaby]

When I'm not online???? I'm always online!!!!

Sad, I know!

[Poppycorn95]

Me too. It's sad really. I have no life - at least not during the daytime hours.

[foxxy]

I puppy sit a 9 month old along my own puppy of 5 years, play tennis and obsess about having a human baby!

[theresa0604]

During the day I'm online all the time since I work out of my house (when I'm not traveling) and email pretty much rules my work day however it's very easy to hop over to this sight and I do often! I even told myself this morning that I would only come here once this morning - not so much!!

[FurBaby]

I know what you mean Theresa. I think I need to ask the IT guy to block my access, for my own sanity.


What do you mean I can only hit the new posts botton every 30 seconds?......lol

[jenedens6102]

Well I tend to be on most when I'm at work and have a few free minutes while something is running. If I'm here and not on, then I'm obviously working. If I'm at home I'm cleaning, making dinner or working in the nursery.....oh wait there is also that thing I love to do....SLEEP!

Ditto the "always on line", I'm on a lot, just researching, shopping on eBay, chatting IM with my sister, etc. But, when I pull myself away, I do housework, take care of three dogs, watch a bit of TV, workout daily and make homemade soaps and lip balm! Run errands when I need to, shop for stuff we need and make dinner every night for Joey! That's pretty much my life!

[XXNJPRETTYGURLXX]

IM ALWAYS ONLINE AS WELL. THE FEW MINUTES THAT I AM AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER, I AM CLEANING, WATCHING TV, HANGING OUT OVER AT MY MOMS, OR SLEEPING. MY INTERNET ADDICTION HAS ONLY STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN I SIGNED UP ON HERE. (DO YOU THINK I CAN BLAME THE FORUM FOR ENABLING ME?....LOL) PRAYERS AND BABY DUSTALL AROUND!!!!

Typical Day:

Wake up a GAZILLIAN times a night from one kid crying or another PEEING the bed...and needing a shower, new sheets and back to bed....(Don't you just LOVE potty training....Right now I have a 2 year old and (3) 3 year olds, most are completely potty trained during the day but still working on the night time).

Wake up at 6:45: Get 6 kids ready for school/the day, have family scripture study, sing songs and prayer together.

7:20 Bring my son(3rd grade) and daughter (kindergarten) to school. Then back home.

7:30-8:30 Wait for the bus to come for our little foster girls that are in an early intervention pre-school. The bus NEVER comes at the same time....VERY IRRITATING. Sometimes they have shown as early as 6:50am...so everyday is a new adventure wondering when they will be here.

8:30 Fix breakfast for me and DH and my two little ones that are home for the day. Clean up!

9:00 We usually get an hour or so to relax...watch tv/cartoons

(unless I have fertility appointments , or kids have doctor appointments or we have shopping to do ..or whatever then that usually takes up the better part of our morning.)

10:00- 10:15 we go to a playgroup or library group about 2-3 days a week. Or we work on learning toys/books at home.

11:30 Fix lunch...(or about half the time we go out and eat somewhere), Clean up!

1:00-2:15 Kids lay down for a nap, while DH and I usually fix somethign for dinner...and get ready to pack it up(for DH) and later for us.

2:20 wake up little ones and go pick my other two up from school.

DH leaves at the same time for work...wont be home until after 11:00pm.

3:00 Quiet time- reading books, playing in the playroom or watching tv for the little ones while I help DS and DD with homework/reading books etc.

4:30-5:30 foster girls get home from the bus. we have dinner.Then load everyone up if we have to go too....

* scouts on Wednesday from 6-7
*Soccer for DD and DS from 5-7

or after dinner we all clean up the house....Which has already become a DISASTER AREA.

get clothes, shoes, backpack and jacket out for school the next day for all the kids.

give baths to whoever needs it.

squeeze in time to wash and lotion and style our foster girls hair...about 2-3 times a week depending on how messy it gets (they're african american....so it usually takes a while to get it done for both of them). But I really enjoy it....it's so much fun and the girls talk more than then they will any other time...so that makes it more fun.

Then hugs, kisses, and off to bed.

THEN....it could be another hour or more before they all actually fall asleep....since they love to talk, get into their clothes and play dress up, play with toys, jump on beds....you name it....

LOL....that's normally my day!!! And EVERY chance I get through out the day...I escape to the computer...for some MOMMY time.

And the winner for mother of the year: wannabigbabybelly!!! OMG-I am exhausted just reading about your schedule!!!

I work-I am a Scientist. I roll out of bed sometime betwen 7 and 8 (usually closer to 8), shower, jump online to check out betas and poas'ers, then go to work. Usually in by 9. Run home for lunch-check in with the girls, then back to work. Depends on what I am doing that day/week on when I will get home. Then back to the boards to see who got + pg tests. I am not sure how I get things done now that I have this website, but I do.
When I get home I have to give my middle cat Jake attention. He demands to be held for at least a half hour over my left shoulder (if you put him on the right he just moves over to the left) so I try and type 1 handed... The other 2 get attention at 2-3am when they wake me up for it!

[sarah16]

I am exhausted by you too wannabigbabybelly! I get up around 6-6:30 to go to work. Then I come home and relax for an hour or so. Then off to our activities.

Monday: DD dance/ DH hockey
Tuesday: library story time
Weds: Soccer for me/ DH hockey
Thurs: free time
Friday: Soccer for me in the winter

Then back home for dinner!

Saturday: swimming lessons for DD
Sunday: church/choir/sunday school then lunch with my parents

[hope4baby]

WOW my days are nothing compared to yours, wannabigbabybelly!!! You're the woman!

I work as a buyer - daytime
DH and I play softball twice a week and on weekends if there are tournaments.
Otherwise we split the weekends visiting family. We've recently been going to our nieces soccer games on Sat.
We travel a lot and enjoy hiking. Our lab (Jake) takes up a lot of our time too, he's spoiled rotten!

[sunny72]

I work part-time at a non-profit child & family welfare agency and I have a three year old DD. I jump online when she's preoccupied with something and I'm off and on a lot during evening hours when I get some alone time.

[mrsjanowski]

I drive my daughter to school by 9 am and have to pick her up by 12:00pm, for the past week I have been watching my friend's 11 month old boy. I care for my daughter all day, everyday, sometimes go out for a little shopping together, I usually clean my house everyday now that I am not working... and I have been going on a few part time job interviews lately. Hmmm.... my daughter has homework 3 times a week. Friday night is pizza & movie night. And I look forward to planning the weekend out, although this weekend I'll be babysitting.
