of a FTplus working mom with a 4 month old:
5:30am:  start my day to the alarm clock, and hope baby sleeps just a little bit more!  My first thought of the day is "it will all be ok after a cup of coffee". 
5:30-7:45:  rush around the house like a crazy person making lunches (breakfast and many snacks get packed for me!), getting myself ready (showering on a good day!), waking Chris and shoving him out the door, find a few minutes to fold some laundry, play just a little with my smiley man, feed him and pump milk at the same time.  Pack stuff for daycare. 
7:45- get out the door and take Brayden to day care! 
9am:  arrive to work, and work all day!  pumping more milk on my lunch. 
7:15: leave work!
8pm:  arrive home! 
8-10:00:  if I am lucky dinner is ready.... if not I eat cereal.  Wash pumping supplies and bottles, and dishes too.  Throw in some laundry.  Brayden usually vvveeerrrryyy slowly nurses in the evening while I pump the other side.  
10ish- go to sleep! 
The nights vary greatly.....  a good night I get a 4plus hour stretch somewhere in there, and he only wakes once.  A bad night is anything else.  (dad has not woken with him in an eternity, he rarely even hears us)  I dont get nearly enought sleep! 
This is what happens every day but wednesdays.  And sundays I only work a 8 hour day, so things are a bit more laid back.
