Oh I forgot I boil the nebs after the kids go to bed(my husband actually does it)#1 I've been known to fall asleep and let the nebs boil for hours(not good). Also I give Maggie her Source CF and fish oil with breakfast and Bactrim when she gets home from school. In the summer if we have plans to go out to dinner or barbecues, we do Maggie's evening treatments early, cause she gets too tired if we wait til we get home. Also, we'll do the early if we have a babysitter for that rare night out.

We also both work full time, although I do have some flexibility in my job and can work from home if I need to.

Ideally: (not ALWAYS how it works, LOL!)

I shower first, get breathing treatments ready, and start them on Katy while she is still sleeping. DH gets our other daughter up and teeth/hair brushed, pottied, and then lays out Katy's oral meds before he leaves for work. We all get dressed, the vest while watching Sponge Bob, and then breakfast and oral meds.

The girls go to the aftercare program at their school. I pick them up and snack 'em in the car. We have dance class, campfire girls, and now soccer on some days (but not BOTH girls in ALL things).

Home - homework for our oldest, dinner, boil nebs for the evening and morning treatments, vest, bath, playing. I lay out clothes, organize backpacks, anything else special that needs to go to school, start lunch boxes if need be, etc. for the next day. Oral meds, then breathing treatments for Katy and she falls asleep. Rinse and repeat!

DH works his 40 hour weeks in 9 working days and so has every other Friday off. Poor guy usually spends that doing grocery shopping and laundry! That way we usually have the weekends free of errands.

A few thoughts:
1 - Get enough nebs so that you are only sterilizing once every 24 hours.
2 - Get meds organized as much as you can, and in one place.
3 - Something did have to give for us, and that was housework. I know, I know, get the kids to help, etc. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I'm one worn out momma and I can only fight so many battles!
4 - Learn to say no. We don't go to EVERY thing the kids are invited to, and neither do I (Avon, Tupperware, etc. gatherings).
5 - Try to take care of yourself. And if you figure out how to fit that in, let me know! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
6 - If you have family or close friends that offer to help, <b>take them up on it</b>! Even if you have to train them how to do treatments so that you and your DH can have a night out, it will be worth it.
7 - I usually have lunch with my husband once a week. Sometimes it is our only alone time!

Good luck; this turned out really long, sorry!

I did that too, ONCE! We took pictures and everything of the poor melted nebs. Anyway, I bought a timer that keeps beeping until you acknowledge it and turn it off.
