Now that I've committed myself to a life of educational babysitting, I look around my room at a sea of hormones and wonder what the sane adults are doing.

My day generally goes like this:

5:15 - Wake up if I'm exercising
6:15 - Wake up if I'm not exercising
6:30 - Shower/Teeth/Get Dressed, Take the dog out, etc.
7:05 - Morning coffee shop stop
7:30 - Arrive at school
7:50-11:50 - Teach four classes. These are my chill, cool kids. Drink some coffee, talk some history, stare at kids for asking dumb questions.
11:50-12:50 - Conference/Planning period. Some days I have meetings, sometimes I chill.
12:50-1:20 - Lunch time. Sometimes when I don't have anything I can combine 11:50-1:20 into one big break and go run errands/get lunch.
1:20-3:20 - Last two classes. Devil children and ADHD heavy. Everyday is a battle not to kill one of them.
3:20-3:45 - After school stuff, busses, duty, etc.
3:45 - 4:30 - Work after classes. Grading, planning, meetings sometimes.
5:00 - 10:00 - Chill at home. Take the dog out, grade papers, apply for jobs in NC, play FIFA maybe, watch Netflix, read. I suck during the week.

No typical days. I mean, it's normal for me to not get enough sleep and for my kid to go to bed several hours after we put him down, but otherwise it all changes depending on the gig or the class. Which is awesome.

6:45am-7am - Start getting older kid's lunch ready, make both kids breakfast
7:30-7:45am - Leave to drop younger kid off at daycare (if taking both kids to school, come back and drop older kid at bus stop around 8:15am)
8:15-8:30am - arrive at work (unless during the summer on a Friday, in which case I usually stop to hit a bucket of balls so I don't have to hit at lunchtime when it is 95 degrees)
12:30-1:30pm - if it is a workout day, swim/bike/run at lunch, then eat lunch, otherwise eat lunch around 1pm
Work until 4:45/5pm, go pick up both kids from daycare/after school (if not working an event in the evening)
5:30-6pm - arrive home, start making dinner, kids play outside if it is not too hot/cold
6:30pm - dinner
7:15pm - kids take a bath, homework, watch a show, play games
8:15pm - read to kids before bedtime
8:30pm - 11/12/1am - watch TV with wife, usually do work at home 4-5 nights a week (especially if taking off time during the day for other stuff)
Fall asleep on new couch, usually while watching a movie I've seen 4-5 times already (last night it was School Ties).
11:30/12/1am - stumble up to bed
 
5:01 wake up
5:02-5:17 bathroom, put on running clothes, stretch
5:17-5:50 run
5:50-6am- stand in front of a fan to try to stop sweating before getting in the shower
6-6:25- shower, shave
6:25-6:45- make and eat breakfast, light internetting
6:45-7am- finish morning bathroom routine

7:15-8:15- hang with family, perhaps light internetting
8:15-8:30 argue with daughter about how her bedtime never changes and she heads to bed at the same time every school night and this isn't worth arguing about and she should learn to choose her battles because it weakens her position on future arguments and we get tired of arguing about this every night and that not everything is negotiable.
8:30-9:30or 10pm- chill with wife internetting while baseball, basketball, football, HGTV, movie is on TV in the background
9:30-10pm go to bed
