My only questions! LOL!

What is your schedule like on an average day???
Basically, the girls get up between 8-8:30, have milk and get changed. Breakfast by 9:30 then playtime. Lunch at noon. Naps from 1-4. Snack. Dinner at 6. Bath. Milk & off to bed by 8:00.

On the days I have photo shoots, I work in the early morning before Jason leaves for work and in the evenings when I get a sitter or he is home. When school is in session and I am working part time there, I am gone M, T, W from 8:30-3:30 and Jason or my mom has the girls here are the house. Now that my mom is back to work though, we are unsure if I will continue to work for the school.


How do you find time for yourself, and when you do, what's your favorite "me" time activity???
I schedule it. I have an appointment book (a big one for the photo business) and I pencil in "me" time. I also get down time everyday from 1-4 during naps. I usually work during that time though editing photos and answering emails. For instance, today I am getting a massage at 2:30 while the girls nap and my grandma is going to come sit here while I am gone. I also schedule my hair appointments every 6 weeks NO MATTER WHAT. Its just something I need to do to get out, visit with the girls, etc.

I also read a lot and joined a 'mom's only' book club. We meet once a month and have food and cocktails. Mostly we chit chat but sometimes we actually talk about the book! I read every night before bed to shut my mind off and unwind from the day.

Jason is home in the mornings and every Wed and Thur so I can always plan on sleeping in one day or scheduling something on those days if I need to.

Also, I thought you may have mentioned something about a degree in nutrition and/or health...can you expand on that?
I went to school for my RN and was accepting to an associates degree nursing program. I declined it because I wanted the bachelors degree nursing. I was waitlisted for the BSN program though so I finished my degree in Health Science with a concentration in Health Care Administration. I have done ALL the science classes required for even pre-med with the exception of physics. I did my pharmacology classes, pathophysiology, etc and was actually thinking of going pre-med when we got pregnant. Not anymore, right?! HA HA! Its always funny to me how God works. For instance, I recently re-applied to an RN program and was waitlisted. The day I got the letter that I would be waitlisted was the same day that I landed two huge photography jobs. Do you think the Big Man is trying to tell me something? ;) I think so!

I thought that I might get more Q&A based on the number of hits per day my blog gets but that's ok! If you ever want to hear more, just ask away! I will gladly answer! :)

Thanks for sharing your answers. I'm in the process of finishing up pre-reqs to go into an RN program, so I may have questions for you in the future!!!
