Tide: A Day of Life

At exactly 6 AM Margret wakes up naturally from her sleep. She slips out of bed, careful not to wake her husband. She proceeds to the bathroom to wash up then moves into the closet and throws on her running clothes bought from the thrift store. After her 30 minute jog, she takes a quick shower and puts on a pair of yoga pants and a sweater. She then travels to the kitchen to start her morning coffee, breakfast and prepares lunch for her children. While the bacon (bought from whole food market) are baking in the oven, Margret decides to wake her children and help them get ready for school. She dresses them in their freshly washed and pressed school uniform. After the children are dressed, Margret walks the children to the kitchen and meets with her husband to have their breakfast. After breakfast, Margret meets her husband in the driveway to wishes him a good day at work. When her husband drives off in his Mercedes, Margret walks back in the house and cleans up. She then ushers her children into her Honda Sedan to drive them to school. Margret drops them off in front of their private school and waits for them to enter the school before she drives off. On her way back home, Margret decides to do some grocery shopping in a whole food market. She picks up the expensive organic food for her husband and children and the cheaper alternative for herself. Margret arrives home around 10 in the morning and after she unloads and stores away the grocery, she decides to do the laundry because it saves more energy during the day. Using the Energy Star washer, she loads the clothes in and pours Tide detergent and Downy softener in the dispenser slot. While the laundry are in the washer, Margret cleans and tidies up the house. She also pays bills electronically on her PC after she puts the laundry in the Energy Star dryer. Later in the day, after all the chores are done and the clothes are folded, Margret goes on her laptop to check emails and do some work from home. Around 5, Margret starts preparing dinner and around 6 she drives to her children school to pick them up from their extra curricular activities. With her children helping her preparing dinner and making her table, they start dinner around 7:30 when her husband arrives home. After dinner, her husband would clean the dishes and the table while she helps her children with their homework. When homework is done, the whole family spends some family time in the living room before the children are off to bed. Finally Margret catches up with her husband talking how each other's day went before she goes to bed around 12.
