[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a cheetah who doesn't like to schedule a lot of things because I feel like they slow us down. Does that make sense? And I do have an innate sense to gogogog...not with social arrangements, but just with always-keeping-moving. Typical saturday:
6am: kids up
6:45am: me up (out of bed), get dressed
7am: kids fed, me fed, check email, do dishes or start laundry
7:45am: tidy house & vacuum.
9:30: playground
10:40am: home. pack lunch and head to pool with kids.
11am-12:30: pool with kids (me in the water playing with them)
12:30/1: me lunch, put 2yo down for nap, check email, clean up pool bags, hang towels/suits
1-3: 2yo naps while 4yo watches TV/plays/has downtime. I exercise, shower, check email, call my mom or a friend, laundry, etc. or run errands if DH is home.
3-5: play with kids, prep dinner
5-6: dinner
6-7:30 clean up from dinner, bath and/or play with kids, do housework/bills, etc.
7:30-9: put kids to bed
9-9:30: finish housework
9:30-10:30: TV/down time with DH

Writing it out it seems like I spend a lot of time doing housework - and I do. And I think things take a long time to accomplish with kids because, well, they are 2 and 4. But DH is a sloth and it gets tough sometimes. He does play with the kids too and help out (when directed) but it's amazing how much the adults have to do to keep a household going. Since we both work (even though we work from home), stuff really piles up if you don't keep up with it. During the week, we don't plan anything, since the after work time goes sooo quickly.

One question: If you are a sloth and married to a cheetah, does your spouse give you more downtime? I let my DH have more downtime since I just plain have more energy than he does.[/quote]

Good god, woman.  I admire you. [/quote]
