6. Daily Routine.

Habits
In the morning I usually get up at quater to six on weekdays, and at 8 o clock at
weekends. First I go to the bathroom to wash my face and to brush my teeth. Then I
get dressed and make up. It takes about ! minutes, because I dont decide what to
wear in the e"ening. #fter that I wake up my son and we lea"e home at $ o clock. %y
husband is who gets up first in our family, at quarter past !. &e goes to work by
bicycle, because his workplace is near home. In the mornings I am usually not in a
hurry, sometimes it depends the mood of my son. #s I must take 'li"(r to the
kindergarten, we must go from home by car. &is kindergarten is near my mothers
home. 'ccasionally I go from my mothers house by bicycle to work on. I ha"e to
lea"e home at $ oclock, so I can arri"e at work at half past se"en. I would like sleep
longer at weekends, it depends on our son. If he wakes up lately, we can also sleep
longer, than on weekdays. 'f course, when we ha"e a weekend program, I get up
earlier. If we dont ha"e any programme, I dont plan the weekends. It depends on
the weather, on my mood, on the plans of others. I ha"e breakfast on weekdays at
my workplace. I usually ha"e sandwich with ham and tomato, or something from the
bakery. #t weekends I usually ha"e a bigger breakfast. The whole family has
breakfast together, my husband is excellent at cooking of ham and eggs. I drink a
cup of white coffee e"ery morning. I really like the food they ser"e at the canteen at
my company. )e can choose from different dishes. These dishes are delicious,
"arious and healthy, and especially not expensi"e. )e ha"e lunch at *illas at half
past ele"en. The lunchbreak takes +, minutes. I lea"e my workplace at -. o clock,
but I dont go immediately after work, because I go to the kindergarten, then we both
go for shopping for dinner. I go for shopping e"ery day. %y husband cant help,
because he is a salesman, so he is not in town early. I buy some bread and dairy
products e"ery day, e"en on /undays. I go to a big hypermarket. /o I arri"e home
only at about fi"e. If I am on diet, I dont eat dinner. I didnt use to cook warm dinner,
because my family likes eating imbiss for dinner. In the e"enings I often play with my
son. If the weather is nice, we play ballgames on the playground near our house. If it
rains, we play boardgames, I tell tales, we draw and 0ust talk. %y son goes to bed at
about half past eight. 1y then will dome my time, I ha"e a rest. I ha"e a bath with
la"ender oil and wash my hair. I like taking a bath if Im colr or "ery tired. /ometimes I
e"en take maga2ines with me or listen to music. I am a sitcom3fan, I like watching
T*3series, like #mong friends, 1ones, 4/I %iami. I would like to watch the news,
because I would like to know, what is going on in the world. /ometimes I can
manage it. I watch both commercial and public broadcasting, depending on the kind
of programme #s I study 5nglish, I often switch to 5nglish speaking channels to
practise this language. I can manage the learning first in the e"ening or occasionally
on /aturdays. )hen a woman has a family, she can reach e"erything harder and
longer. I would like to go to the cinema or theather, but I dont "isit these cultural
places. I hope so, it will change. )hen 'li"(r will be older, we can go more often
there. %y husband and I like downloading new mo"ies, boy3office hits. It is illegal, I
know, but what can we do, when we ha"e not enough time to go to the cinema. )e
watch these mo"ies at home, but this isnt so exiting and en0oyable, than in the mall
in +6. 7nfortunetaly I dont ha"e enough time to read newspapers regularly. Im
interested in mo"ie maga2ines and foreign periodicals, like /tory and &ot. 8ast week
I bought my first ! minutes 5nglish maga2ine, so I can practice the language this
way, too.
I ha"e to do different, regularly housework. I hate doing the ironing and cleaning the
toilet. I like doing the washing. I ha"e got a dishwasher, so this helps me by to
washing3up. %y husband changes the sheets, and hangs the clothes. These arent
my fa"ourite tasks. 'li"(r cant help a lot by the housework, but he thinks, he does.
'n weekdays, usually on /aturdays, I clean the whole flat, including the bathroom
and the toilet, too. I dust the shel"es in e"ery room, and hoo"er the flat and wash the
floor. I couldnt li"e without a microwa"e3o"en, a dishwascher and a washing
machine. I would like to ha"e a tumble3drier, because I often wash my clothes at the
last minute.
I usually go to bed at oclock on weekdays, because I ha"e to wake up early next
morning. #t weekend I stay up later, if there is a good film on T*. If I am tired, I fall
asleep "ery easily, once my head hits the pillow. I sleep se"en or eight hours on
weekdays, and more at weekends.
I meet my mother almost e"ery day. )e "isit my husbands parents e"ery week,
usually on /aturdays. I seldom meet my friends, once or seldom twice a month.
I tend to lea"e things for the last moment which can irritate people around me. The
other problem is that I lo"e shopping, especially costume 0ewellery. I ha"e got a lot of
these 0ewellery, some of them I ha"e ne"er worn. I cant stand mean and 0ealous
people. I cant stand, if someone speaks dummies.
