Time management - cooking, cleaning, and exercise

@akila , thanks for the concern dear. Now I am perfectly fit and fine. And yes there are some limitations in lifestyle like no lifting weights and no bending. I do have domestic help for household chores like vessels washing and sweeping and mopping. otherwise all well

My normal weekday routine.

My day starts @4.30 or 4.45 a.m.

Around 5 I light the diya and other pooja vessels need to be washed, and set the pooja room ready for my DH. Simultaneously cooking also starts breakfast and snack box need to be packed for my twin girls who leave for school around 6.45.

By 6 I wake my DDs and DH for their milk and tea respectively and relish my tea also in between.
get the kids ready and board them in the bus and I go for a walk say 3 km. that is my time. I enjoy this.

Back at home , read newspaper . By this time washing machine would have done its work, so drying clothes and simultaneously folding previous day clothes. Little strange to do it that early but I prefer that. If not that time then never it happens. And then cooking lunch and serve breakfast for DH and he leaves for office.

From 9 to 1 it appears to be free, but some small small works keep coming. My maid comes and then house needs to be set neat. from 1 o'clock again lunch for DH, 2o'clock kids are back from school and their lunch etc. I try to take rest from 2 to 4.

4.30 to 7.30 their extra curricular classes . Everyday they have something or other. Need to drop and pick them up. And then dinner preparation, keep things ready for the next day. Dinner and Wind up kitchen and Off to bed. Catch up with my reading. and Doze off.

I am a homemaker, my twin daughters are in 2nd std. and DH is a Defence officer. Due to transfers I didn't concentrate on my career much.


Long post, sorry girls. . Thought of just introducing myself.

Hi Friends,

I am posting after a long time though I started off by committing that I will post everyday. Anyway weekdays are usual, waking up early and getting ready for office and school, then office 07.45 - 15.45 office, then back home, relax, DD arrives, snacks, relax, then gym, come back, prepare dinner, office calls, dinner and sleep.

Yesterday and today due to transport strike, DD's school has holidays so I am wfh. From tomm again regular routine. It is interesting to read all your schedules.

 

Today tried out a new receipe, a combination of some picked up from net and some from my own discovery of taste thats for lunch.. for bf made sandwitch and prep seperately for DS.. was able to manage time today quite efficiently.. made food and then i got ready and woke DS and made him ready and both of us started from home quite early and everything happened in a smooth way

 

Hi everyone

@CB - thanks for the compliments for my username. Yeah disc prolapse is very difficult to manage. I had a nerve compression and had to go for a surgery. No choice. But taking lots of rest is the only cure and it will not worsen more.

My day was like normal routine. Not much chaos .
Extra was Veggies shopping in the morning.

@Anu , nice to see you back.

@divya - nice going. Why don't you share the recipe here
