What's your morning routine once the kids head off to school? I make myself some coffee and breakfast and check email and websites that I regularly visit. While watching the morning news. Then I clean up, shower and begin the days search for employment. What about you? What's your routine once you get the kids off to school?

After my son gets on the school bus I feed my baby. While she is playing I check my email and stuff. What happens after that varies. Some days I take a nap with her other days I clean up around the house and stuff while she is sleeping.

hello, lilybug. it must feel good to have such leeway on how to run time in your hands after the kids are gone for school. it must feel good to have that needed nap after the tedious home tasks are accomplished.

Once the kids are off I usually make a tea and go straight to the computer. I check my e-mails then I do my daily chores around the house and get laundry started. Then once all that is done I come onto Mylot. LOL My obsession as of late. Okay I sound really boring and need a life.

When our boys were at home, I went and did the dishes, and started the laundry, then I had coffee and something to eat and watched Tv. I was into the morning show, and then there were the soap operas. My husband was working days then. I usually had a bath the night before. I was not doing any work outside the home, but latter on I did some telemarketing and then some delivering fliers. Most of the time I was keeping the house clean, but I suffer from low grade depression, so I was tired a lot.

i can still remember that once my kids were off for school, i have to rush with whatever needs to be done at home because i have to go to work yet. then i go to a neighbor to notify that no one is left home just incase someone comes over in search of anyone. those were my most hectic days but i love the way life has been going then.

I think more time for myLot etc and all other online business? This is a longer free time so morning time is really for home work and breakfast and then lunch preparation etc and if everything can be done fast so save more time for myLot or other sites from the afternoon onwards.
