All in a day's work

Recently completed custom orders, packed & ready to ship ^^ Each time at this "point" in time, I'd feel somewhat like a Santa Claus, bag full of gifts, hehe... except, these are not "gifts" really, I sold them :D
Off to the post office we go!

What's a typical day for you? I used to work in a hospital as a Medical Technologist, the typical 8-5 job. Pretty routine in itself, except that I'd meet very different ppl as my patients, so that part is really interesting, & rewarding at times, taxing & frustrating on others, hehe...

Now, ETSY is my "day" job, aside from being a stay home mom ^^. What's a day like for me now?

730-830am: Sent kids to school, home for breakfast with the newspaper.

845-900am: Off to check emails, orders, enquiries etc.

900am: start "WORK"=== cutting fabrics, sewing etc

12- 1400: daughter back from school, hugged/kissed her, chat her up a bit, lunch etc, then put her to bed for nap. If I'm tired, I'll nap for 10-30 mins too.

14:15: Son back from school, made sure he eats well, showered, & went to bed for aftn nap too.

14:45: back to "work" === more sewing, or cutting fabric, or drawing pattern for custom orders of different sizes.

16:00: kids woke up. "Fruit" time with the kids ... checked their HW if any.

17:00: they'll ask to be outdoor. Bring them out cycling, to the park or nearby beach.

18:30: back home for dinner/shower etc :) Time with the family from here on.

* 7pm onwards, me & my husband may need to go out for some church related activities/meetings, about twice a week.

I may start "work" again around 10pm, when kids are settled in bed. This time, mostly listing/renewing items, flickr/blog, twitter/FB

So far so good, I enjoy "WORK", & my family time ^^

What's a typical day for you, Moms? :)
