Your daily routine

Dear Malyatha

I am a retired person. My daily routine is morning get up after
brushing and having coffee take bath. Then cooking breakfast
and lunch which gets over by 8.45 or 9 p.m. Then for one
hour or so do pooja.

From 10.30 or sometimes 11 a.m. log in to Indus site and chat
for sometime with my daughter who is in Dubai. From 12 to 2.30
watch serial. At 12.45 or 1.00 pm have lunch. Again for half an hour
log in to Indus. Sleep from 3 to 4 or sometimes 4.30. Then have coffee.

Again from 4.30 to 5.45 log in to net. At 6 light the diya goto temple
and then to buy flowers. Later watch serials. Have snacks at 8.45 or 9.
Go to sleep by 11.30 p.m.

On Tuesdays and Saturdays go to Temple in morning. So that day
the routine of logging to the net changes. Sometimes go for marriages
or religious functions in temples.

My routine is get up around 6.30 (if i have slept on time the previous night), finish the morning chorus, have a glass of warm water with honey and lime. Go for a walk for about 20-30 min.

Come home make b/fast and have it. If my DH has time then we sit over b/fast and chit-chat. Then again in the kitchen for lunch and i prepare dinner too in the morning itself along with lunch. Then have my bath.

Lunch is between 1-2 then go to office post lunch. Back after 6. If any dinner preparations left to be done, then in the kitchen again. On some days i go for my spiritual class in the evenings. On those days i come back around 8.

Watch TV in the evenings or finish ironing or any other such work around the house. Or if i have orders then again i am in kitchen making chocolates.

But when i have guests, my routine goes for a toss. Which is very often.:spin

 

Hi Malyatha,

I'm a home-maker with a toddler and a 5 month old. So i can't stick much to a routine. But it is something like this on week-days:

6 am wake-up, brush and make tea for me and DH. I like sipping my tea browsing IL and catching up with news.

Thrice a week i have to send lunch for my son. So prepare for that and clean any vessel in sink (i try to clear the kitchen before going to bed but sometimes it's not possible).

Between 6.30-7.30: help son with brushing teeth, give him milk, breakfast. DH helps himself with cereals. I munch on my bread and prepare lunch box. Also make a list of things to do for the day (on good days this is done previous evening itself). Baby wakes-up, changer her diaper, clean her and get her ready. Nurse her.

7.30-8: Shower my son, get him ready, myself shower and get ready. If I have to drop off my boy at school then leave home at 8.15 to catch the bus. I finish errands and return home by 10-10.30. Prepare lunch, clear up laundry, vaccum etc, water plants etc.,

11.30-12: have lunch... attend to the baby at intervals. Relax for 1/2 hr browsing or watching tv or reading book then leave home at 1.15 to bring back boy

By 2.30 we are home or take him to the library and return home by 4. Then tea time snack, play/paint etc., with him. Also browse (or prepare) for dinner.

Around 5.30-6: Light diyas and say some slokhas.

6.30-7: dinner for boy and get him ready to bed.

8-8.30: if DH has already arrived we have dinner together else i have and clear all left-overs in boxes. Load dish-washer. Check if things for next day is in order (winter time so i must keep gloves etc., ready).

then browse to plan for next day's cooking (who else but with Chitvish), play with baby and get her to bed.

I go to bed by 11 (trying to make it earlier)

Also I have each day, as much possible, dedicated to a specific errand.. like vegetable, fruits on a particular day etc., That helps a lot with 2 kids and an always busy husband. Here not all shops are open full on saturdays and sundays everything is closed so week-ends are not of much help!

not really, Malyatha. When she was a new born she woke up, like, every 4 hrs. For us that itself was bliss given that my son used to wake up every single hour until he was 6 months. Then it became every 3 hrs. He started sleeping through only around 2.5 yrs when we put a full-stop to his feeding bottleChillout!.

I don't know if it's because of the weather getting colder, there are days when my little one wakes up quite often. Like thursday night last, i hardly must have slept for 2 hrs totally. But I would say still not bad...
