[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are 6-13.

wake-up-8:00am:  watch TV and snuggle

8:00-8:45:  Middle kids and I go running

9:00:  breakfast/morning chores 
  - make beds, bring down laundry
  - unload dishwasher
  - put in a load of laundry
  - water the garden

10:00:  kids goof off for a while.  I usually read or talk to my mom for a little while.

11:00:  tell the kids they need to stop goofing off and do some math and practice music.  I usually play a game with my youngest.

12:00:  I run to the store to grab anything we need for dinner.  I fold the load of laundry.

1:00:  I work in the other room.  Kids make lunch, eat, and clean up.

2:00:  I'm still working.  Kids usually watch TV, but sometimes attempt to murder each other.  Sometimes the attempted murder is regarding control of the TV remote.

4:00:  I finish up work.  Take the kids out to the pool or to play with the hose in the backyard.

6:00:  back inside to shower.  The middle kids and I make dinner.  My oldest might ride his bike around the neighborhood.

7:00:  DH gets home.  We eat.

7:30:  Kids play outside with DH.  I listen to a podcast and clean up after dinner.

8:30:  I make everyone pick up for 10 minutes.  We watch TV (again).

9:30:  Kids upstairs to bed.  I read them a story.  (Right now we are reading The Secret Garden)

10:00:  Kids sleeping.  DH is usually already asleep.  I might talk to my sister in California for a little bit, then I go to bed.

You have a daily schedule and yet you can't get organized enough to go to the grocery store less than once a day?!?[/quote]

I can.  I made a meal plan, wrote out a grocery list, went to the store, got my car washed, and bought gas once a week for 600 weeks. 
  
Now, my kids are old enough that I can leave them on their own for 20 minutes, and I run to the store every day.
