I'm a wahm, so my routine is a little less "fun."
8:00am - Baby won't be up for about an hour, so I should get some work done. Maybe just a quick peek at Y! Answers...
9:00am - Baby is up. Better go get her. She is amused by the look on my face as I change a really stinky diaper. So amused, she tries to roll off the changing pad, thus making strapping a new diaper to her more challenging.
10:00am - Baby is now clean and fed. She's in her swing next to my desk. I check my email and find a note from the CEO of the company, questioning the status of one of my projects. I try to formulate an intelligent response, when my boss hits me with an IM.
10:15am - Still chatting with boss on IM while trying to review my reply to CEO. Baby makes a weird noise. I look over just in time to see projectile vomit gush from her mouth, and pool in the seat of the plush cradle swing. Gross! I quickly reach over and turn off the swing.
10:16am - IM is flashing on my computer. My boss has no idea that I am literally up to my elbows in vomit. Baby is crying after her puke-fest. She is soaked, as is the cushion in her swing, and now me, because I'm holding her. I dash off a quick IM to the boss and rush baby over to the changing pad to clean her up and settle her down.
10:20am - Baby has stopped crying, but boss is still sending IMs. CEO is awaiting my email reply. I put baby in her play area and strip the cushion, which still has a puddle of puke in it, off the swing. I send a quick IM to the boss, saying "checking..." then rush down to the laundry room and throw the cushion, baby clothes, and my shirt into the wash. Baby hates to see me leave and starts crying again.
10:25am - I throw on a clean shirt, and rush back to the "office." Scoop up baby and sit with her at the computer while I finally get a #&$^ email reply sent to the CEO. This takes a few minutes, as baby REALLY wants to bang on the keyboard and "type" with me. Also satisfy my boss's concerns in IM.
10:30am - Morning crisis over. Time to get some actual work done, if I can just keep Baby away from the laptop...
The rest of the day is pretty much the same tempo, except for the blessing of nap time, when I'm most productive.

Every day I leave the house at about 9.30 and go out to town(I live in a village), go to a playgroup, park or the library, then go to have lunch with my friends at a local community centre.
Then I go home and my daughter(18 months old) has a nap while I relax, do my work and some housework.
Then we play, Daddy comes home and I cook dinner, then bath and bed.
On weekends we stay at home, play in the garden or sometimes we might have a day out to the zoo or somewhere with Daddy.
