How to Make a Cup of Tea ☕

今日も朝からバタバタ。朝5時半に起きて、息子と夫のお弁当を作り、朝ごはんを作り、そして、息子と夫が起きてきて、朝ごはんを食べる。6時半に息子と夫が家を出ていく。慌（あわ）てて、「いってらっしゃい」と送り出す。
それから、娘を6時半に起こして、朝ごはんを娘と一緒に食べる。7時から、娘は計算ドリルと漢字の勉強をする。そのあと、少しピアノの練習をして、8時10分に「いってらっしゃい」と娘を送り出す。娘が学校に行くのと同時に、私はジョギングに出かける。30分ぐらいジョギングをして、家に戻る。それから、洗濯物をして、家の片づけをして、今日のitalkiのスケジュールをチェックする。これが、私の日課。

I have a busy morning as usual today. I get up at 5.30 am to make lunch for my son and husband and cook breakfast. During my cooking, my son and husband get up and eat breakfast. They leave home at 6.30 am. So, I rush to send them off and say 'Itterashai 「いってらっしゃい」'.
After sending two men, I wake my daughter up at 6.30am and eat breakfast with her. From 7am, she studies calculation drills and kanji characters. After that, she practise the piano a little and send her off at 8.10am with a ''. 「いってらっしゃい」. As soon as she leaves for school, I go for a jog, which takes about half an hour, and return home. Then I do the laundry, tidy up the house and check today's schedule on italki. This is my daily routine.
