    WOW! It's cool to see how different- yet the somehow the same our schedules all are..
    Here is mine right now

    5:00-5:30 am.. Wake up to sun coming up (in PHX it comes up early)
    5:30 drag butt out of bed and have a bit of something to eat
    6:00 go for run or ride.Usually 1 hour, sometimes 1.5 hours
    7:30: Back in house, check emails, check in with son who is now getting up. Tell him the usual- eat breakfast, brush teeth, shower, and NO video games yet!
    7:45: have a bit more breakfast, cool down and watch a bit of the morning news
    8:00-8:30 drag butt of the couch to shower
    8:30: Get up to the computer and start working. Get running son going on his summer studies. A C+ in math = school work over the summer. Also make sure he reads for an hour. This also insures quiet time for me to work.
    10:00: Input billing and every few days I'll head 20 miles down the hill to the office to print my billing since I can't print from home. If I do go down the hill I also squeeze in all my errands such as groceries and the post office in one trip.
    11:30-12:00 go downstairs and have some lunch. Watch Regis and Kelly that I have on the DVR while I eat
    12:00-mid afternoon back at the computer/fax/phone working (or playing on TE)
    3:00 make my way back downstairs for a snack. One or two days a week I'll go to the pool sometime between 3 and 4:00.
    4:30: Start thinking about dinner
    5:00: Get dinner on table for son and I- as hubby is usually out of town working
    6:00 either do pm workout- could be riding or running depending what I did- or didn't do- that morning. Or I will take son down to play basketball or tennis. SOmetimes we take the mtn bikes out. It just depends.
    8:00 come back from evening foray and have a sugar free popsicle on the back patio while I chat with running son about the day
    9:00 get him into bed, go back to checking emails and do a bit more work
    10:00 off to bed to start the whole routine over again!

    During school it includes me riding with him and his buddy to and from school, and the morning workouts are done AFTER he heads to school. But it's not as warm then, so I can actually train at a normal hour!!

    I feel like such a sloth compared to some! I am not a morning person but here goes...

    Btwn 6am-7am, wake up. (depends on when I went to bed). Depending on when I wake up, I either run, go to the gym, bond with/feed the cats or a combination of above.
    7:30-8:15 or so: Make breakfast, make lunch, check e-mails, have as much caffeine as I can.
    8:30-9:10: Shower & get ready for work
    9:10-9:45: drive to employee parking
    9:45-10:00: bus to airport then RUN to the timeclock!
    10:00-8:30pm: work
    8:30pm-9:30pm: Bus back to employee parking then drive home
    9:30-when I go to bed: Bond with cats, DH, eat light dinner (DH has it waiting for me) or we go for a walk. I can never get right to sleep, unfortunately, so I tend to get to bed later than I'd like.

    I work 10 hour days so I do get three days off a week. On Sundays, DH and I do something because it's our only day off in common. Sometimes we cycle, sometimes we hike, sometimes we travel. Since I work for the airline and have flight benefits, we do travel more than most probably.

    Mon/Tues: Wake up at 8am (+/-) and either cycle or go to the gym. One of those days tend to have appts too because I have braces (off this tuesday though!) appts or hair appts or whatever. I do my long workouts on these days and sometimes on Sundays too, depending on what we're doing.

    Tuesday nights I have pole dancing class.

    On all my "off" nights, we go for a 2-5 mile walk just to decompress.

    Kind of boring actually

    Must work on that "getting up early" thing. I'd get much more accomplished.
