12 pm - 1 pm: Lunch time, feed the kids
1 pm - 3 pm: Nap time for the kids while ipapa and I have our lunch

8 pm - 10 pm: Bathe the kids, story time, milk time and sleep time
10 pm - xxx: Our own time

From the moment we wake up to the time we sleep, it is activity after activity. Everything revolves around the kids nowadays. Our own time will begin only after both of them are settled and tucked into bed. And what do we do with our own time? Not to rest, but to continue with household chores, office work (for ipapa) and other work which we simply have no time to do with the kids around. What about our bed time? It will be 10 pm on good days but 12 am on bad days. And the cycle starts again. No wonder both of us have panda eyes which don't seem to go away no matter how much we sleep. No one says parenting is an easy job :-)

Is your schedule like ours too?
