schedule

This was my schedule yesterday:

7-9: work on Tris and Izzie trailer
9-11:30: gym
11:30-12: lunch (I hate taking time for lunch!)
12-1: more trailer work
1-3: manuscript critique
3-4: figuring out how to make a bookmark and putting in an order
4-5: kid stuff (lessons, pickups, etc)
5-5:30: piano
5:30-6: lying on couch, moaning because I am too tired to think
6-6:30: getting takeout Chinese
6:30-7: eating
7-8:30: bad TV
8:30-9: bedtime routine, including reading Wimpy Kid with Scottish accent while being begged not to
9-10: good TV

Ideally, I think I wish my schedule was more like this:
6-9: writing 4-5,000 words on new first draft project
9-11: gym (listening to audio books while in pool and treadmill, or catching up with friends)
11-11:30: piano
11:30-12: eat lunch while reading latest YA novel
12-2: more reading while simultaneously knitting and also keeping up on twitter, facebook, livejournal, tumblr, and my email
2-4: revising latest project to be published soon (which uses a different part of my brain than first draft work).
4-6: happy family time during which I help kids with homework, drive them to lessons, and make dinner with healthful ingredients cheaply while singing and smiling all the while
6-7: eat and chat joyfully with husband, then do dishes and keep kitchen tidy--also clean out fridge of deadly items
7-8: brilliant, helpful critique group work, reading other manuscripts and commenting on them with a fresh mind
8-10: have bonding conversation with husband and children, while watching TV and doing yoga or laundry.
10-6: fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and sleep blissfully without nightmares about my academic career or neighbors who hate me

Things that are not on my schedule (and maybe should be?):

dealing with teachers who don't think my kids are reading on grade level
phone or door solicitors
church work
cleaning the house
going to the doctor/dentist
emergency trips to the store
figuring out if I want to wear makeup or not
clothes shopping (even on-line)
bill paying
taxes
snow shoveling
dealing with the toilet that is overflowing into the kitchen
organizing my office and books
wondering what I am doing with my career/life
stalking David Tennant on youtube
just sitting quietly with nothing to do at all
