There are 2.5 things that make having a family schedule difficult. Since it's the start of a new school year, I am working hard to TRY to have some sort of schedule.
The first one point five thing...? My husband works 4 days a week; I drop him off at 6am and pick him up anywhere from 7,8,9, or 10pm (M-W; I let him have the car on Sunday's). The morning is tough, but doable. It's the evenings... Never sure when to make dinner, if the kids and I can take a walk, or when I can put the little one to bed. All this because we choose to have one car payment, instead of two. Well, we will be looking to purchase a new to us car next month for no more than $5k. I cannot wait! Hopefully this will help us be able to follow a more set schedule (sans DH of course; he can follow his own!).
The other thing? The kids start school at different times... and they have to be at the bus stop at different times. They are old enought o handle getting up and to the bus stop on their own, but it sure makes feeding them a warm, fresh breaksfast each morning hard. Isabel has to be at the bus stop @ 6:50 and Alex has to be at his @ 8:40. That's a big difference. I usually take Nic to day care around 8am. What a crazy morning that makes.
