My Day: A Play by Play…

I decided to do a Day in the Life post. I haven’t done one in a while and we are nearing the end of our time here.. and who knows what our days will look like soon. I have to say though, this day seems particularly dull. Ha! They probably mostly all are. :)

6:00-7:25- getting myself and a couple of kids ready- breakfast, packing lunches, rush, rush, hurry, hurry
7:35- drop off D3 and head to work

8:00-2:00- reading, reading, a smidge of math, reading…

When I’m not running up and down the halls, I’m sitting in my chair here working with small groups. We worked on Making Inferences this day. It included an Inferring with Ferb game that the kiddos were all excited about. :)

2:30-5:00 rest, clean up, send out a bunch of resumes with a prayer for a job! Help Daniel study for a test (he wasn’t annoyed at all with the studying) while Luke played.

We came home to grilled pork chops. Yum! And I didn’t have to cook it. :) The rest of the day was filled with showers and bedtime stories. Kitchen cleaning and DVRed TV shows.

It may not be super exciting, but this is a fairly typical day around these parts.

My Day: A Play by Play..

I thought I would do a ‘Day in the Life Of’ today. I feel like I’m constantly in the car running up and down the road these days. Such is the life of a mother, I guess.

This is a riveting post, let me warn you. ;)    But I do enjoy looking back on the posts.

My day started with my 6:00 alarm clock and was followed by getting ready for the day~ shower, dressed, hair, makeup, Daniel up, breakfast, packing lunches, rushing Daniel out of the door, etc., etc.

I head into work around 8:00My day was full of short vowels and listening to reading. J Over and over. I have to say I love it, though!!

I headed home for lunch and then over to the preschool to pick up Luke. We ran by the church to see Dan real quick and Dan gave Luke a balloon.

It became his toy of the day. He was into that balloon!

We chilled at the house for about 45 minutes before we got back in the car and went to pick up D3.

We came home for the kids to grab a quick snack and then headed to Sam’s for our monthly Sam’s run.

Grocery shopping with two kids is really just not tons of fun. Thank goodness for all the samples today, though! They took advantage of them.

We came home and I put up the food and Daniel got ready for Karate.

He’s doing great with Karate. He’s an orange belt {the only orange belt standing up in the picture} and he gets to do so much more, so he is really into it.

After Karate, we came home and D3 {&Luke} did homework while I cooked dinner.

I made a little drawer full of things that Luke could do during homework time. He’s done great sitting with Daniel every day and working on different things from his homework box.

Ignore the boxes in the background. My parents gave us some dishes and I’ve yet to unpack them all. <hangs head in shame.>

We ate dinner, the boys cleaned up toys, got clean, got in pajamas, brushed teeth, had story time and went to sleep!

I cleaned the kitchen and then watched Big Brother <hangs head in shame again. J>

I think I might watch another show with my hubby and then go to sleep!

Such is a day in my life…

My Day: A Play by Play…

 I started out my day on Thursday taking pictures for My Day:a Play by Play and things didn’t go exactly like planned {do they ever?}.  Thursday was the first day that we were all back to school after Christmas break.  We had the longest Christmas Break and I had gotten too used to sleeping in!  {Well, until 7:00~ which is Luke sleeping in.} 

*I’m sure this post jumps from past to present tense and I couldn’t line up my captions right, but I’m posting this anyway!*

 6:00   Up and getting ready for school <ugh>

The first time in several weeks that all 3 of our lunchboxes were lined up and ready to go.

7:35  Drop D3 off at school and head to work

7:45-1:00  Got my room ready for 2011 and then the kiddos came.  They did remarkably well for coming back after an almost 3 week break!  We had fun talking about our Christmas breaks and making a Happy New Year craft!

Cute, but I think he would have been cuter with a party horn.  :)

So, at some point in my school day my head starting really hurting, and this is where my day didn’t go exactly as planned.  I’m ready to trade in my sinuses for new ones!  Any takers?  Thirty-three year old sinuses that I can’t get under control?  Anyone?  You just have to take 2 types of sinus meds each day to prevent sinus problems, but maybe once a week get a sinus headache anyway.  I’ll trade them for free!  Noone?  Okay…

2:20     Pick up D3 from school.  We sat in the long line waiting on D3 while I played on my iPad {love that thing} and Luke watched Mater’s Tall Tales.  He LOVES this DVD {thanks Grandma & Grandpa}.  He laughs through the whole thing, not that you can tell in this picture.

Please excuse Mr. Peanut Butter Toast Face.  He had some toast after school and his mommy didn’t wash his face.

By the time I got home with Daniel my headache was out of control, so I made the kids promise to be on best behavior and sat them in front of the TV while I laid down to try and get my headache to go away!  Luckily for them {and me} Dan came home for a little bit before a late night at work and they played outside while I laid in a dark room wishing my headache away {didn’t work :( }.

5:00   Took Daniel to his new Karate class.  There was a reception in his regular room, so they moved him into this little room.  He was so excited because one of his good buddies is now in his class.   There are several new white belts in his class, so they had to sit while he practiced things that they haven’t learned yet.  He loved this, because all last class he was the white belt that had to sit while others practiced.  :)

6:00  Got home and fixed breakfast for dinner {eggs, turkey bacon and biscuits~yum} and took my… uhm… I don’t know 3rd dose of sinus medicine of the day and prayed for my stinkin’ headache to go away.

7:00  Baths, stories {My Goodnight Bible for Luke and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for Daniel~ I love both of these books} tuck in and lights off.

7:30  Clean the kitchen while watching Netflix on my iPad.  Now, I’m not sure lazy is the word for this, because I was working… but watching Billy the Exterminator while doing dishes really makes cleanup go faster. :)

The rest of my night was spent sitting on the couch and watching TiVoed shows with my man.  And waiting for someone to trade sinuses with me.  But I’m still waiting….
