As far as a schedule goes, you should have one that Charlie fits into. I would say you have to get a shower in early in the day or you waste so much time trying to squeeze it in. Then figure out your chores - cleaning, grocery store, etc. and plan when to do that so you have some fun time too. I would go out in the morning, come home for lunch and playtime there and then put my guy(s) down for a nap.
The library is a great resource for you. They have mom and me story time and you can meet some other moms there. There are also mom and me park district classes. Just be sure not to overschedule. You want to have time to be spontaneous and take a walk whenever. When the weather gets nicer, just going to the park is a great way to relax and have fun.
