How does your daily rouine go?

[Dunnyjo]

Just wodering how everyone else's day is? Mine in the wk is quite boring. I dont go out much apart from some days i collect my mum from work and sit round there for a bit then go home do dinner etc. Wkends are great dh is home and we do stuff as a family. love it. But when i am on my own i become this sow boring thing lol ie i get up get ds's breakfast, get him washed and dressed and he gets his toys out and me? well still in pj's drinking tea on the comp or something. I am so unmotivated! All my old friends have either moved away or lost contact. I have moved to a new area so i dont have anyone near by. But i need some up lifting and ideas to change my life a bit for myself in the week. All ideas would be great.
Oh going to mother and todler groups are not my thing nor swimming as i cant swim and dont enjopy getting in the water lol
What does anyone else do hroughout the day?

how old is your ds?

he is 20 months old also 15 wks prgnant too

dunnyjo, when I am not at work I make a point of keeping very busy with the children (or I go mad and they do too lol)
It?s easier for me as my older 2 are at school so we have friends round for tea etc.
We also have regular things eg swimming lessons, Beavers, dance class etc.
My pre-schooler is at home with me or his dad 2 days a week. We do storytime at the library, mum and toddler group, pre-school gym class (which he loves) and some playgroup sessions as he is 2.5.
You say you don?t like M&T groups but it can be a nice way of meeting someone local with similar aged children - always good if they are in the same school year! You could then arrange to meet them at the park or soft play if you preferred.

i have 2 dd's aged 3 and 1.

we do stuff like go to the library - ours has a great kids section where they dont have to be quiet, can pile the books on the floor and they have crayons and colouring books too. once a month they have a storytime

we dont have much money either, so we do stuff like go to the massive pet shop nearby and look at the fish/birds/rabbits (cheaper than the zoo!)

we also have a massive garden centre that has lots of chrismassy stuff just now, including dancing santas

we go to the fish market for our fish once a week, very exciting (or so dd1 thinks)

we go and feed the ducks

its really hard at this time of year, cos you have to wrap up really well, a lot of places are shut and you cant really play in the garden or go for long walks. roll on summer again

DunnyJo my DS is the same age, I am also a SAHM.

I am just settling into a routine in a new area (we moved in August), so I don;t know anyone either.

8am - get up, get breakfast
8.30 - Shower, get dressed, get DS dressed, tidy house, put laundry on etc
9.30 - usually go out somewhere in the mornings. One morning DS goes to Tumbletots. The rest we go shopping in town, visit the garden centre (pets, fish, have a coffee), go to soft play, to the park if it's nice, etc. One morning do housework.
12 - lunch
1.30 pm - DS has a nap, I come on MN, or do other things online, etc
3 pm - get DS up, sometimes we go out again, walk to the shops, or supermarket shopping, otherwise get something specific out for him to do e.g. playdough, drawing, etc
5 pm - get DS tea, wash up, clear up toys etc
6.30 pm - DH gets home from work, baths DS
7 pm - DS in bed

After Christmas am hoping to find another activity for DS e.g. music group. The groups can be expensive but I think DS needs to be mixing with other children a bit.

I don;t like those free for all mum & toddler groups much either.

I find I have to plan something specific for each day otherwise I would sit in PJ's all day and go mad.
