I need more hours in the day...........

I miss being here in blog world, I miss having wine in the evening, I miss long quiet hot bubble bathes, I miss the freedom of being irresponsible, and I miss many other parts of my life but currently time does not allot for them now that I am temporary guardian of my sisters children. What is my typical daily schedule like you ask - well here it goes.........

5:20am - Alarm clock goes off and I groan softly as I hit the snooze button
5:30am - Alarm clock goes off again and this time I get up and start the day.
5:30 to 6:30am - make coffee, take a shower, get ready for work, let the dog out, and wake the kids
6:30 to 6:45am - tell the kids again to get moving, get their breakfast ready, remind them of any evening plans we may have and remind them to be good.
6:45 to 7:00am - Drive very quickly to work in attempt to make a 25 minute drive 15 minutes. Also call mom to ensure she is up getting the other two children ready to go to school.
7:00am to 4:15/4:30 - work (as you can see I have scaled back my hours at the office)
4:30pm to 4:45pm - Drive very quickly to pick up kids in attempt to make a 25 minute drive 15 minutes. Also listen to voice mails and answer phone calls
4:50 to 5:15pm - get the kids to clean up any messes at mom's, collect their book bags, get a report on behavior from mom and load them up to get home.
5:30 to 6:30 pm - let dog out, make dinner, feed the kids dinner, clean up dinner mess, and begin the evening ritual of tending to them.
6:30 to 8:00pm - go over homework, tell them to stop arguing, reminding them of hands off each one policy, lead them to bathroom to take bath and brush teeth, help them get their clothes out for the next day, make constant deals of "if you be good" we can do this on the weekend.
8:00 to 9:00pm - get them to wind down and get ready for bed, have them put away or finish any game we are playing, lead them to bed to lay down and watch a half hour of TV (which sometimes puts them to sleep)
9:00 to 10:00pm - run around cleaning up the evening messes, put away the dinner dishes, make lunches for the next day, go do a load of never ending laundry, make any calls that need to be made, try to get through the mail pile and pay bills, do any work I have brought home from the office, and let dog out one more time
10:00 to 10:30pm - attempt to stay awake and watch the news.
10:30 to 11:40pm - sleep
11:40 to 12:00am - awake up make pot of coffee for hubby and chat with hubby who gets home from second shift.
12:00 to 5:20am - try to sleep straight through without waking up with a anxiety attack.

Of course this is just the basics of what I am trying to accomplish in a day without the extras like grocery store trips, shopping for Halloween costumes, having birthday parties, kids having sleep overs, and all the other things that go with children in our life. If I could just get a couple more hours in my day................
