As some have read from my previous post I am a full time working mom. I need help in making a schedule that will help Cerulean and my family. Ok here is how our day was pre-puppy.

6:00 - wake up
7:00 - smoothie and lunch prep
7:15 - daughters leave
7:30 - shower and dress
8:00 - out the door
8:15 - son leaves
3:15/3:30 - daughters get home
4:15/4:30 - son gets home
6:00/6:15 - I get home

We've adjusted our schedule to fit the puppy in and do our best to maintain consistency I just feel like I'm doing alot of things wrong. I work 25 minutes away so coming home on lunch doesn't quite work because by the time I get home I only have 5 minutes to spend with him before I have to race back to work. I moved here a year ago so I don't know anyone to come into my house nor can I afford a $17 a day dog walker every day, maybe 2 or 3 days a week. My kids will be out of school in a month so this is only temporary but if anyone has suggestions they will be greatly appreciated.

Please don't respond with your negative two cents about working and owning a dog, please. There are some people who want the joys of a dog but also like their bills paid too.
