Design Your Perfect Weekday

If you could design your perfect weekday (M-F), what would it look like?

Here's mine:
  • 6:30: wake-up
  • 6:45-7:30: quick run (treadmill or outside-- depended upon weather)
  • 7:30-7:45: breakfast
  • 7:45-8:15: get ready and leave
  • 8:30-12:30: teach (which includes 1 hour of planning*, and plenty of snacks)
  • 12:30-1:15: a long lunch and some blogging or t.v. time
  • 1:15-1:30: major ball throwing with Ella Blue
  • 1:30-2:30: run errands and/or relax
  • 2:30-4:00: workout with strength training
  • 4:00-4:45: long walk with Ella; I'm dreaming she is also good on the leash and would let me take her for a walk
  • 4:45-6:00: clean house, laundry, cook dinner
  • 6:00-7:00: dinner date with Husband and some t.v. time
  • 7:00-7:40: internet and blog time
  • 7:40-8:10: quiet time with a book or a long chat with a friend
  • 8:10-8:30: long, hot bath
  • 8:30-10:30: Movie time with Husband
  • 10:30: Bed!
The title of my blog is BALANCE! And although I am very happy, love my job and try to make time for everything, I can't do everything right now. Most days are imbalanced. It's fun to dream about a perfect day!

You know, I tried coming up w/ a perfect day ... but w/ a 4 month old I can't even think of what I'd do besides feed her, change diaper, put her down for a nap, repeat, wait until my husband gets home so I can go to the gym, cook dinner, do all of the baby stuff again, repeat that, then bed. Ha ha ha. Hopefully when she is a little older and able to go to the gym daycare I will think of that perfect day. :)

Hiya! Oh I am so not picky! I don't have a Trader Joe's so if you do, anything from there is good! Otherwise I dont really care, you're pick! Do you have any ideas for you?
