Scheduling Conflicts

I'm still working on getting a good schedule going here at home for all of us. I just made some changes to the time of some things, so I'm working out the kinks still almost a week later. Right now, the schedule is a follows:

7AM: I usually hear Alan get up and begin to play in his room and go to the bathroom and pee. I stay in bed and pretend I'm sleeping.

7:30AM: This is what my alarm is currently set to. I typically get up somewhere between 7 and 7:30 AM and get mildly ready (I dress, take my allergy meds, and pee).

Whenever I'm done in the bathroom to whenever Alan gets out of his room (it's usually around 7:45 to as late as 8:00): Alan does his new chore of putting dry food in the cats' food bowls and I fill their water fountain, then I get breakfast ready for Alan and give it to him while he watches some TV. I go on the computer to check email and facebook and have my breakfast.

9AM-11:00AM: Alan finishes breakfast around 9ish and clears his plates and silverware and cups, etc. He gets hungry again around 10:30 (this kid grows like a weed, and I give him a light breakfast). I give him lunch at 11:00. This is typically a PBandJ sandwich, water, and something else (like fruit or veg or crackers).

11AM-1:00PM: Alan free playtime and I will generally play with him or do an activity (like a craft) with him.

1:00PM: Alan goes down for a nap. He must stay in his room and relatively quiet for 2 hours. I just switched nap back from 12 PM to 1 PM because he did not sleep at 12:00 and then was getting up later, like 4:00 or 4:30 because he fell asleep later. I also switched to only giving him water or milk for lunch so he doesn't have the added sugar of juice. The nap is the biggest struggle of the day because he never wants to go to his room, he doesn't nap right away, and gets up at weird late times because it takes him forever to fall asleep. But TRUST ME, he needs this nap or else he is just a terror the rest of the day and is overtired for bedtime and then doesn't go to sleep until like 10 PM to 12 AM. I know, it's weird. I also like him to nap because this is when I do my situps and exercises PEACEFULLY by myself, unless the cat also has to bug me. I also load/unload the dishwasher and other odd jobs.

2 or 3 or 4 or even 4:30 PM: Alan wakes up from nap. He has a snack and watches TV for about an hour.

The Past Few Days It's Been 5:00 PM: Start Alan's school work with him. The work I do with him takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Then, he's burned out and done so I stop so we both don't get frustrated with each other.

It there's time before 6 PM (it hasn't happened yet), we go outside and I want nightly walks to happen. Right now, this isn't happening.

6:00 pm: make dinner
6:15 pm: eat dinner. Dinner lasts about an hour.

7:00 pm-ish: Alan must start cleaning up all the toys and books and junk he got out during the day so the place doesn't look like a tornado hit it. I also give him baths at this time every few days.

about 8:45-9:00: Alan must get dressed in pjs and go to the potty and brush his teeth and get ready for bed in any other way. He gives kisses to Daddy, then picks out a book and gets in bed and we read together for a while. Then, I tuck him in and say goodnight!

I try to go to bed between 11:00 pm-12 AM. Then, it starts all over again the next day! :)
