What I do all week.

A lot!  I would say I could easily add an extra 12 hours to every day and still not get it all done.

 This would have bothered me before but now given my current situation, I do what I have to do and leave the rest for another day.  Of course, my girls are my #1 priority that has not changed and they are with me about 97% of the time.  Thank goodness for that!  After all, what is the point of having children if you are not going to spend time with them and be there for them?

So every week I:

*do something school-related (4 hours a day five days a week) even if it is broken up throughout the day and/or week
*research curriculum for high school every free moment I have

*work at least 4 hours a day, again, even if it is broken up throughout the day and occasionally on the weekends as well (as you can see, this has already added up to 8 hours a day between the school and work)

*social activities-at least 2 a week and at least 2 Sundays a month for church (times on these vary and of course driving to-and-fro

*grocery store usually twice a week for major stuff and minor stuff

*keeping track of bills-making payments online or over the phone (I try to do this one day a week all at once to make sure utilities will not being disconnected as they were before I took over this job.  It really stinks when you are trying to flush the commode and suddenly you realize the water has been shut off)

*driving around looking for places to live or checking online-my girls actually like doing this now so they help and it is fun looking at all the houses

*pack at least 4 boxes (usually more, we have a lot of stuff)

*laundry-every day

*cleaning (not doing too much of this at the present time since we are moving, I just clean the necessary stuff)

*sheets for 3 beds once a week

*cooking/feeding my girls (not optional)

*pet care which includes cleaning guinea pig cages, hermit crab aquarium, bird cages, and litter boxes (oh the joy!) I also have to make sure I have food for all of those critters as well

*make time to spend with my girls doing something like movie night, playing games, dancing around like crazies, and just being available for them-children need parents that are tuned in

*music lessons once a week with band practice every Saturday when they perform and getting to the event and helping set up, stay for the event, and then help take everything down

*I also try to do a few things on my own when the girls are with friends, and they are frequently invited to spend the night so that I can have a little bit longer. (I am really glad they have friends to spend the night with that I trust and I do not have to worry about them at all)

*I occasionally will just decide to do something random last minute to change things up a bit

I am sure that I am forgetting something, probably a lot of somethings but as you can see, I have almost no free time, especially not to just sit around and luxuriate.
