For WOHPs, what is your schedule like? When do you wake up, go to work, take LO to daycare?
When do you leave work, pick LO up from daycare, make dinner, bath/bedtime?
I always feel like we don't have enough time in the day. LO's bedtime has been pushed back the entire last 2 weeks because we are having a hard time getting it all done.

5:00: I wake up.
6:00: E wakes up
Change her, feed her, put clothes on, play.
7:00 leave for daycare
I work 7:30-3:30/4:00, go to the gym, come home at 5:30. Tuesdays we have softball, Thursday and Friday i come home earlier.
Dh works 6:00-2:30.
4:00: He picks up E.
5:30: Dinner
6:00/6:15: bath
6:45: E bed
9:00/9:30: Dh and I go to bed.
What aren't you getting done? I do a decent amount of prep on weekends to streamline our weeks. Or if i get up at 5am, sometimes i will prep dinner for that night. Make rice or veggies or marinate the meat, etc.

Old schedule:
Wake up at 7/7:30 (LO wakes me up!)
Out of the house at 9, at the nanny share by 9:15/9:20
Work at 10 (work straight through til 6, I never take lunch, eat at my desk)
DH picks LO up at 6
I get home at 6:30 (on a good day) but usually 7.
Cook dinner or reheat something, dinner by 7:30
8:15 is bath, story time for LO
8:30-9:30 getting LO to sleep, we take shifts
We both usually have work (personal and professional) so we'll do that or watch TV or fall asleep early.
I'm curious to see how our new nanny share will be when it starts at the end of August. I'll have to do a new route 3x a week, which has me going one way and then backtracking to get to my train. But I will also have 2 days at our apartment where I don't have to worry about getting LO dressed and ready while I get ready.
We don't have the best schedule but it's what has to work for us. Sometimes we are both so super busy at work that we are too tired for keeping the apartment clean. Dishes pile up in the sink. Sometimes we have PBJ for dinner. We do what we have to do. I prep on weekends when I can, but I also like to relax and have a life when work is so crazy so sometimes that gets cut out.

@sunny: It wasn't until I weaned that I felt like I had more time in my day to actually get stuff done. I only recently started waking up at ~5 again, and it's amazing how much more sane and in control I feel having those first couple hours in the day to myself.
