Schedules

So this morning when I got up, I was thinking, what am I gonna do when The puppy arrives.  How will I work my morning schedule?  As of now it goes something like this….

• Wake up 6:30am
• Take a shower 6:30 – 6:45am
• Get dressed 6:45 – 7:00am
• Wake up kids 7:00 – 7:05am
• Carry my littlest to the couch and turn on the tv 7:00 – 7:10
• Get him dressed and make him breakfast 7:10 – 7:15
• Brush my teeth & finish getting ready (hair & makeup )7:15 – 7:25
• Eat breakfast myself 7:25 – 7:35(sometime at work)
• Kiss kids and leave to work.7:35am

So I’m thinking it might be like this

• Wake up 5:30am
• Set puppy in litter box to go potty 5:32 – 5:40
• Feed puppy  5:40 – 6:00am
• Take puppy on walk ( hopefully it goes potty again) 6:00 – 6:20am
• If not put puppy in litter box when we get home 6:20 – 6:30am
• Put puppy in play area 6:30 – 6:35am
• Take shower 6:35 – 6:50am
• Get dressed 6:50 – 7:00am
• Wake up kids 7:00 am

  Whoops, I just remembered the kids’ bus schedule has changed.  They actually will leave for the bus before me starting October 1st.  They use to get on the bus at 8:10 now they will need to get on the bus at 7:20.  Our little town can be so backwards!

Okay try again…

• Wake up 5:30am
• Put puppy in litter box 5:30 – 5:40am
• Feed Puppy 5:40 – 6:00am
• Wake up kids while puppy is eating  5:45 – 5:50am
• Get dresses to take puppy for walk 5:50 – 6:00am
• Get littlest dressed & breakfast 6:00 – 6:10 am
• Take Puppy for walk  6:10 – 6:30am (hopefully goes potty outside)
• If not takes puppy to litter box 6:30 – 6:40am
• Leaves puppy in play area while I take a shower 6:40 – 7:00am
• Get myself dressed (hair & make-up) 7:00 – 7:15am
• Take kids & puppy to bus stop 7:15 – 7:20
• Put puppy back into litter box 7:20 -7:30
• Put puppy in crate and leave for work 7:30 (until lunch time)

Hopefully after the puppy gets litter box trained I won’t have to watch him every second.

It’s a pretty tight schedule but I think it’ll work.  I might have to get up a little earlier if I find I’m really crunched. I’m thinking maybe 15 mins earlier already.

I have a hard time getting out of bed as it is.  Need to make it a point to go to bed earlier.  I can skip the news and head in at 10:00pm.  That way I should get at least 7 to 7 1/2 hours of sleep.  Maybe 9:00 pm would be better.  I don’t know.  I guess this will be a learning curve.
