3-4            drive home: reading aloud, audiobook, SEL, spelling practice
4               drop off dog, switch laundry
4-5:30       drive to/from exercise, exercise
5:30-6       finish tutoring at home, play with dog
6-6:30       child showers while I get dinner around
6:30-7       child and I eat together, teeth
7-8            call with parents when away, call with grandparents, audiobook, listen to music, etc
8               bedtime

The child has intense anxiety and can not fall asleep unless voices are in the living room, so I sit on the couch for an evening call every night 8-9, sometimes as late as 9:30.

Friday afternoon's schedule changes to accommodate dinner out if earned through good behavior over the course of the week.  Some weekends are spent on call while the child is with the grandparents, other weekends are 6 am to 8 pm non-stop, because the child who sometimes has to be lifted out of bed on weekdays can be up at the crack of dawn when there's no school.

With previous families, I was 40-60 hours per week even when all the children were in school, because I took on household errands, laundry, cooking and pet care.  I do not do full cleaning, but I do organize, and I teach children to keep areas tidy.[/quote]
