A little background of my life: I work full time at a school from 7:15-2:45 , well at two schools ( I am a Speech Therapist) ! I have about 50 students on my caseload and I don't have an aide or an assistant. I do the testing, I do the therapy, the copies, the calling, etc....
I am also a wife... My husband owns his own business ! Check him out if you are in Southern California www.coar.co (best mechanic in town )! Seriously ;)
My son has:

| My family :) |
- Hip hop on Mondays from 4:00-5:00( www.artisticdancemurrieta.com)
- Music ( Piano) on Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30 (http://temeculavalleychildrensmusic.com/)
- Swimming on Thursdays from 4:45-5:15 which started at the end of May.
I have to be at work at 7:15 AM and my son's school does not start until 8:50 AM. So here is my day....
- I wake up at 5:30 AM and go downstairs. I get the kids' lunches ready which is usually two servings of fruits and it's either pasta or rice for my daughter. At my daughter's school they can warm up her food so I store it in a small glass container and send a plastic bowl so she eats from it. She has broken three glass containers so I learned my lesson. For my son , it can be a salad or nitrate free ham sandwich with spinach, non gmo organic cheese etc....But it's always two servings of fruits and some veggies for him. Do they eat it all? Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't ,just like any child.
- Then on to my meals...I fill up my glass water bottles with filtered RO water - I pack at least 1.5 liters of water (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis). Next, I prepare my smoothie which I will drink for breakfast ( I will post recipes in another post) and get my lunch ready. It can be another smoothie or fruits or a salad it depends what I am in the mood for. I always make sure my breakfast is between 800-1000 calories and my lunch at least 500-700 calories. If I don't have enough fruits, I always take dried fruits for snacks. While I am preparing my food, I drink a glass of warm water.
- After I am done preparing my meals , I take everything to the car , start it and go upstairs to get ready.
- After I get dressed, I wake the kids up... I don't dress them up because it is still too early. So by now it is 6:30-6:40 AM.
- I take the kids to my parents where my dad greets the kids and takes them inside... my daughter still cries to this day wanting to stay with me but sometimes she stays asleep . My mother dresses the kids up and dad takes them to school... I am so blessed with the best parents and grandma in the whole wide world.
- On the road, I pray the rosary in the morning ( I am Catholic) on the way to work.
- I get to work at 7:15-7:20 AM and start my day. I finish a 0.75 L of water and start drinking my smoothie about 8:30 AM in order to finish it before lunch lol my smoothies are huge (64 oz)
- I take my lunch around noon unless I am not done with breakfast ( It has happened before LOL)
- I leave work at 2:45 PM, pick up the kids from my parents and we go to the activities listed above...if we have time we do homework , if not we do homework when we get back home. Usually we are home by 5:30 PM unless it's Tuesday then we are not home until 7 PM. I am very glad that we have all week and weekend to complete my son's homework. He brings the packet home on Monday.
- While we are home, I pick up and put things away then prepare dinner. On Monday, I write the dinner menu for the week and print recipes if needed. Our dinners are 90% of the time vegan. It's always a salad and another cooked dish. I get my recipes from www.allrecipes.com I am not creative so I follow the recipe LOL . My son is not picky at all and eats everything I make, as for my daughter she recently started eating a little itty bitty of the salad which is a blessing. If you have little ones, try not to force them to eat their greens. Lead by example and they will follow, I promise :) She usually eats her greens either in a smoothie or cucumbers....cucumbers are the only vegetables she will actually eat .
- After dinner, I clean the dishes, make sure downstairs is tidy and we all go up, take a bath and get dressed for bed. My son sleeps on his own but I sleep next to my daughter... I tried everything, I read a lot of books about sleeping. Both my son and daughter wanted me to sleep next to them. I am sure it is a habit taught accidentally by me ;) I used to dread bedtime because I didn't want to waste my time sleeping next to my daughter. Then I started embracing the moment and loving it... I love being next to her now because she is only gonna be this little for a short period of time so I am enjoying every moment.
- After she falls asleep, it is time for me to hit the sack :)
Please note this is my schedule when we are at school...now we are off for the summer and we are not as busy.
If I can do it, if I can live this healthy lifestyle , anyone can! Believe me!!! It is all a matter of will, commitment and consistency.
