Finally the new routine can start (sort of)

Today, A and I attended her Dance Team meeting and got the final schedule for the 2008-09 year, so now we can start setting our normal routine! Yea!
I'm sure some of you out there thing I am nuts for all the running around I do, but I am convinced that socialization and physical activity are key to a healthy and happy child, so while I do vent often, I wouldn't ever change it. Someone recommended that I "take a week off" to de-stress and relax, and while it seems like a great idea, I started thinking about the stuff someone else would have to do... and man the list seemed long, so for S and Gs I thought I would share my "typical" weekly routine as of right now :)
taxi duty
Mon - Thurs = for camp 9 - noon
every other Monday = Puppet theatre w/ Paul
Tues = A's dance 4pm drop off (dad picks up @ 6)
Wed = P's mommy and me gym class 9:15
Thurs = A's dance 4pm drop off (dad picks up @ 7)
A is going to start with a Gymnastics class once the new school opens, either Mon or Wed PM
housekeeping
Mon = laundry - linens
Wed, Fri, Sun = laundry - clothes
Sat = Vacuum (Dad mops :)
Tues & Thurs = bathrooms and kitchen
Misc
I try and get to the gym 3 days a week
Costco once a week
Groceries Monday and Thursday

Now toss into that mix the fact the R works almost 80 hours a week, not including any soccer stuff.... and that even if he is working from home, he is truly "working" (usually on the computer and both phones) so the kids are typically watching a movie or coloring.
This is my life :) If any of you are willing to take over any of the above so I can have some time off, let me know!
