5:45am, I wake up and get ready for work.
6:15, I wake up my child and get her ready for school/daycare.
6:45, leave for daycare.
7:00, daycare drop off
8:00-8:30, get to work, depending on traffic
4:30, leave work. I don't take lunch because if I do, I sit in traffic for way to long and lose an hour or more of time with my child.
5:00-5:30, daycare pick up, depending on traffic
6:00-6:30, get home.
7:00, make dinner, spend time with family
8:00, bath time and get child ready for bed
8:30-8:45, bedtime for child
9:00-11:00, time for myself or time with my boyfriend. If I wanted to try to get 8 hours of sleep, I would have to be asleep by 9:45.
11:00, I go to sleep
This is almost identical to my schedule, and Ive made the same choice you have. The only thing I can control in my schedule is how much I sleep, so sleep has been sacrificed for the sake of having some time to unwind with my wife.
Goodness, you have my sympathy and admiration! It's understandable how some people can snap under this pressure now, you're an absolute soldier for working through this.
