Tuesday GTKY

[HeartofCheese]

Is it Tuesday? Or isn't it? 

1. Today is Tuesday. (I checked.) What day is it in your mind?

2. "Of all the gin joints in all the world..." Where did you lay eyes on your SO for the first time?

3. From rising to bed, what is the breakdown of your day today (percentages, please)? Examples of categories: work, nap, kids, husband, "me" time, cleaning, laundry

[HeartofCheese]

1. This week is just one long day to me right now. So yesterday through Thursday is my Monday. Fri, Sat, and Sun are all Friday. So I have 2 days in my week. My internal clock is on Saturn time.

2. In the doorway of the house where he was renting a room and - at that exact time - throwing a party.

3. Work: 50% (8 hrs) (Please note that I work a 10-hr day, but I am extremely busy right now...  )
Cooking/cleanup: 12.5% (1 hr)
Putting kids to bed: 12.5% (1 hr)
Divorcing the SO: 6.25% (30 min)
Eating/getting ready/WPing: 6.25% (30 min)
"Me"/sick time: 12.5% (1 hr)

1. Even though the kids were off yesterday, I was insanely busy at work so it actually feels like Tuesday to me.

2. This is so funny but I’m struggling to remember the first time I met DH. I’ve never really thought about it. We met through a mutual friend so it was either at a party or a wedding I went to with said mutual friend (a guy).

3. In a 24 hour day/from rising to bed:
Work - 33/48%
Me time - 6/9%
Kids - 21/30%
Dinner/cleaning up - 4/6%
Husband/TV time - 4/6%
Sleep - 33%

ETA: And I just re-read your post and it said from rising to bed so I added those % next to it plus some of my % were off so I fixed those.

1. Feels like Monday, but also like I'm already behind schedule. Not a great way to start the week after a long weekend!

Work/commute: 55% (9.5 hours total)

3. I don't even want to think about it.

[katrine05]

1. Monday, since we were off yesterday.

2. Front steps of our last house (he already owned it). His sister brought me along to celebrate her birthday and we were meeting there before heading to the bar. Love at first sight.

1. Tuesday, wishing it was at least Wednesday.

2. At a work event at the public museum in our city. I had a feeling that night that he was my future husband! (So then I had to break up with my boyfriend. I was close to breaking up with him anyway, though.)

3. I'm basing this on being awake for 16 hours:
Work/lunch time at work: 63%
Commute: 6%
Kids/family: 22%
Me: 9%
When I look at it that way, it really depresses me...

[HeartofCheese]

Covergirl82, I feel ya.

[sdlaura]

1.  Feels like Monday for me.  DH and I both took the day off yesterday and sent the kids to school/daycare.  We do that like once or twice a year.  Even though we spent most of the day getting stuff done, we went on a nice lunch date.

2.  Work.  We're boring.

3.  Work - 35%
     Sleep - 30%
     Childcare, including feeding, baths, bedtime, getting ready and dropping off/picking up - 20%
     Me/DH (my lunchtime run + 1 hour after bedtime/cleaning with DH) - 8%
     Housework/prepping stuff for the next day - 7% 

[sudokufan]

1. Monday, I was off yesterday

2. Met him at work. We used to share a cube, matter of fact ;-)

3. 43% work and commuting, 33% sleeping, 4% dinner, 8% doing bed time (teeth, bath, books, cuddling, stalling, etc), 12% everything else

[mustardseed2007]

Is it Tuesday? Or isn't it?

1. What day is it in your mind? --

I keep thinking today is Wednesday.

2. "Of all the gin joints in all the world..." Where did you lay eyes on your SO for the first time?

We worked at the same office. I met him when the gal I was replacing was giving him instructions for a project he was helping us out on.

3. From rising to bed, what is the breakdown of your day today (percentages, please)? Examples of categories: work, nap, kids, husband, "me" time, cleaning, laundry

12.5% Exercise
33% Work
25% Sleep
5% Commuting
12.5% Kid time
22% Clean up, prepping for the next day...other miscellaneous stuff.

Today is weird b/c I both have spin class and run at night so I go home but leave right away. Normally exercise is less and kids and household chores are more.

[mommyatty]

1. Both Monday and Wednesday at various points in the day.

2. At his apartment. His roomie was a guy I went to HS with who went from very dorky to super-hot. My roomie took me over there so we could ogle his newly hot roommate.

3. 10 hrs work and commute
1 hr cooking and eating dinner
3 hrs kid time
2 hrs DH time
1 hr this morning laying in bed watching Netflix before it was time to get up

[2chatter]

1. Sunday. Kids were off again today. 6th circle of hell BUT I had a great day with DS.

2. Work - we were both married and he sort of mentored me. The day my divorce was final he kissed me (he had been done for a couple years at that point).

3.
5 hours work
40 minutes parent teacher conference
5 hours Zoo and dessert with DS
About to wrap up work, get DS through the shower then take DD to a soccer game. Home for bedtime.
CHAOS
And I refuse to do math.

[ilovelucyvv]

1. Monday
2. Work. Confession- I asked a mutual friend if H was gay as a means to learn his relationship status.
3. Kids 30%
Work 59%
Me 1%

[sunbutter]

1. I have no idea. I was supposed to be vacationing in San Juan this week... that turned into a three day staycation instead.

2. Conference room on the first day of grad school. We started dating four years later.

3. Staycation. 25% financial planning with DH and advisor. 25 % cooking, parenting, cleaning. 20% work🙄. 10% trying to get my botched alteration on a dress fixed. 20 % I'm going to read and drink wine for a couple of hours after putting kids to bed.

[judyblume14]

1. It's now Wednesday and feels as such.
2. In his apartment, freshman year of college, hungover, washing dishes.
3. I will probably be awake for 18 hours today.

4:30-5:00 wake-up, get dressed, coffee (.5)
5:00-5:30 nurse baby (.5)
5:30-7:15 driving/crossfit/driving (1.75)
7:15-11:30 work (4.25)
11:30-12:30 dinner and lunch prep for a couple days (1)
12:30-5:30 work (5)
5:30-6:30 chores (1)
6:30-7:30 dinner (1)
7:30-8:30 play/nurse/bedtime routine (1)
8:30-9:00 clean-up (.5)
9:00-10:00 time with husband (1)
10:00-10:30 "me" (.5)

Gym/driving/other "Me" time - 15%
Work - 51%
Household Management - 14%
Family/Kid time - 14%
Husband time - 6%

N.B. - a chunk of that 51% of my time working was spent figuring out how I spend my day...

[HeartofCheese]

So what I'm seeing here is that no one naps. Time to bring back the nap.

[freezorburn]

I took a nap yesterday. But only because I'm off work to recover from pneumonia.

Too bad it can't be a regular part of self-care, though.

[sudokufan]

I have to be really exhausted to nap. But I will sometimes nap with DS on weekends, that kid wears me out.

Naps are phenomenal. If only I had time for them.
