As most of you know, I'm co-owner, along with Marianne Arkins, of Goddess Fish Promotions and Long and Short Reviews. These websites keep us both very busy.
On the book tours that Goddess Fish Promotions organize, we ask that the hosts have their post up no later than 4 AM on their scheduled date. Because of that, we are up at 4 AM to check and make sure they are!
Other than our early wake up call, I don't have a routine day. If my husband is working (he also owns a business), I wake him around 7. If not, I let him sleep :-) We breakfast and, after that, I have my morning chores - feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes (so much fun), feeding fish....and various and sundry other chores).
Work takes up most of my days - interspersed with household chores. I follow The Fly Lady's way of doing things, taking 15 minutes of every hour to get out of my recliner and do work around the house. Working on the computer, it's too easy to sit and not move (not good for my house nor for my hips!)
Working for myself, however, also has its benefits. If I need to do errands or meet my husband or friends for lunch, I can do that. I also go visit my mother every afternoon - she had a stroke 3 years ago and is in an assisted living facility.
After supper is normally more work until bedtime. It's a true saying that a man may work from sun to sun, but a woman's work is never done. There is always something to do in LASR, Goddess Fish Promotions, or my house. I can say this, though... I'm never bored!
What's a day like in your life?

I really admire the work ethic. It's amazing.
My post.
I try not to get up earlier than five, but this year's time change is wreaking havoc on my internal clock this time.
Good on both of you for running your own businesses. Not everyone can do it.
