My daily routine as a stay at home mom/housewife in 2023.
I wake up @ 6:30 and wake my 2 teenage daughters up. Once the girls are awake I go downstairs and fed my cat Daisy. At 6:45-7 my husband leaves for work. Then I check to see if I need to start the dishwasher. It’s portable so I have to hook it up to the sink and turn the water on so I don’t do that before bed. I usually load it and then it’s ready for the morning. So I start the dishwasher. Then I check on my kids again to make sure they’re up and dressed. The youngest has to be up and dressed by 7. The bus picks her up by 7:15 at the latest. My oldest drives herself to school. She usually goes out and starts her car at 7:30 it’s winter so she has to make sure it is warm before she goes anywhere. I check the bathroom pick up and bring whatever clothes are in the hamper down to the washer to start a load of laundry. Then once the laundry is started the dishwasher is usually done. I unhook the dishwasher. The I sweep and mop the laundry area and kitchen. Then I go into the living room & dining room then vacuum both rooms. I then go back upstairs vacuum the hallway and the washer bedroom. By the time it’s 8 am. I have done all my cleaning for the day and sit down I rest for awhile then I figure out which room/organize that day. Usually it doesn’t take me long because for the most part my house is clean and organize so I don’t do this everyday. I check my calendar and see if I have anything I need to go out to do for the day. If not then I relax. Usually at some point during the day my husband calls and we talk. I tell him how my day is going and he tells me what he’s been up to. If I need to do any of his paperwork or not. Since it’s winter there isn’t a lot. His paperwork picks up in the spring and the season is in full swing. So usually my oldest daughter only has to be at school half days. So she comes home and she helps me with paperwork for my husband/mine business. She also does homework if need be. She gets home by 12:30 everyday. So usually I’m more then half way through my day by the time she gets home. I show her the paperwork I need help with and she helps for about a hour or 2 in our office. Then she goes up to her room and does homework. By 4:15 my youngest daughter gets home off the bus. I start dinner by 4:30 so we can eat by 5-5:30. I then start loading the dishwasher so it’s ready to go the next morning. I ask the kids if the have homework. 99.99% of the time they don’t they do it before 6. My youngest takes a shower before 6:30. She lays down around 9. My oldest usually is in bed by 10. Around 7-8 my husband gets home takes a shower and lays down around 9pm. I usually finally get laid down around 10-11. After I wipe everything down downstairs. I have a pretty easy day when I stick to my routine. Some days I have a headache or migraine. Some days I just don’t feel good. Either of these times. I still pick up do dishes and laundry to keep up with everything. BI never take a day off. I always wake up at 6:30 even on the weekend.
That’s my day. Thank you for reading.
