a typical day

[Dena]

I would love to hear comments of what different people's schedules are. I mean just a typical day, but broke down. I am very interested in times also.

hello there!!! ;D my typical day starts out with me waking up around 6:30 or 7:00 am when i get ready for my schooling for the day. then, i eat breakfast( usually pop-tarts and peach yogurt). after that i go and catch the bus around 8:35-8:40, and make my journey to school. we sit in HomeRoom until 9:35 ( i get there about 9:20, so it's really no big deal...) when i travel across school tomy 1st period, ss, then algebra, then science ( with lunch at 12:20 for about 20 minutes), then LA. this all takes place between 9:35 and 2:40. after that i go to "connections"which, on mondays i have both, tuesdays and thursdays i have health, and wednesdays and fridays i have CHORUS (yay!!! we get to sing all these songs from Broadway!) then i go home around 4:00 or 4:30 ( depending on the busload my driver comes on...) after that i do my homework and i eat any where from 6 to 7 pm. after that i do whatever i feel like(mostly reading or listening to my music...) i then get a shower and go to bed between 8:45 and 11:00 (usually around 9:30 or 10:00). then REPEAT!!. right now we have this stupid standardized testing where we have to sit still for lengthy amounts of time in a quite classroom ( which drives me INSANE!!!) but after i'm done i entertain myself with the good reading of mangas like DNAngel or Bleach. if you don't know what manga is you are a poor deprived child, but it is Oriental comics/ graphic novels (i say "oriental" because it is mostly from Japan but also comes from Korea and other Pacific Countries.) <3 2 u always!!! --- rikku711

I remember those days, full of learning. Life was so new as we enter into young adulthood. During the twenties we were trying to use all that we had learned and finding out how much we really didn't know. By the late twenties we were beginning to appreciate those that were older then us. By thirty we just didn't appreciate the older ones, we started to hold them in honor for knew how to survive life on planet earth. By forty we were beginning to relax and had small moments of assesing our life. Now we are in our late fifties. Things I thought were important, I realize aren't. Now I just pray for one more day with my family every morning. My typical day is: 7:30 am- get up, make coffee, wake up husband, Tell him good morning & I love you, Wake up Mom, watch the news while having coffee with my love
9:30 am- Serve breakfast( ussualy oatmeal), Count out meds for husband & Mom
10:00 am- Do dishes, gather up and start laundry
10:30 am- Start giving sponge bathes to them
12:00 pm- Give Mom the paper to look at( she shakes so bad that I don't think she is able to read it anymore), By now I probably have to go in an clean up my husband. That taken care of I'm now folding clothes.
12:30 pm- Dusting, vaccuming, starting to fix lunch
1:30 pm- Sit with my husband , make sure that he doesn't choke, make sure mom accually ate and didn't throw her food away when I wasn't looking
2:00 pm- clean up dishes, make calls, pay bills, go to store, gardening, what ever needs to be done while they take there naps.
4:00 pm- Cook dinner, visit with husband while having a cup of tea

6:00 pm- clean up from dinner, tidy up husband, make sure all is clean and ok for evening with all his bags, tubes, bed, whatever. Get evening meds done, Check to make sure Mom used her breathing machine so she will have a good night, play a game on the PC, Call my daughters, talk to my grandchildren
9:00 pm- loock up the house, get Mom settled for bed, lock up house, have cocoa with my husband, go to bed and watch some tv. Turn off tv, go sleep knowing we had a good day and pray they wake in the morning. Thank God for letting me have them just one more day
