Here’s a glimpse into my everyday, glamorous life. J
Monday, November 17th:
6:05 Get up and take shower
6:20 B up and ready for “snack”- Fruity Cheerios, strawberries and milk.
I make lunches- I usually do this the night before and made a mental note to not put this task off until morning again!!
6:50 Wake D3 up- I never have to wake this child up, but he was sleeping hard!
I dress him, since we’re running short on time now.
7:00 D3 eats Fruity Cheerios and milk
I dress B & myself- do my hair
7:20 Out of the door- with our umpteen bags. Borrowing Dan’s car today (we left the baby’s car seat in there yesterday and it’s a pain to move. )
Dan has so much school stuff in the back seat D3 can hardly get in the car
7:23 Start throwing all of Dan’s stuff out of the car, pitching a fit. J
7:35 Drop D3 off at school
B and I start to make our way to preschool.
Call Dan to tell him that I love him…. and that he’s messy.
B was not too thrilled that I wanted his picture riding in the car on the way to school.
8:00 Arrive at preschool. Clock in and get ready for the kiddos.
8:30 Staff Devotion
8:45 Kids arrive. Playdough, Chapel, Program practice, Playground, Snack, Circle Time, paint Thanksgiving T-shirts, make Thankful Turkeys, play in sensory box, Lunch, Music…
1:15 Clock out and start drive home.
1:40 Arrive home- B fell asleep on way home- put him in crib.
Check email/blogs
2:20 Head out to pick up D3 from school. Have to get B out of his crib still sleeping. L I don’t like doing this, but luckily he stayed asleep until D3 got in the car. I read some in my book while waiting in the carpool line- makes the time go by faster!
2:50 Back home. Kids watch Signing Time and eat snack – icecream
3:20 Kids play. I fold and hang up laundry. A lot of laundry- I was way behind.
Here’s my fake I love laundry smile:
4:45 Start dinner. Chili- yum! J
5:20 Eat dinner.
D3′s plate. The kids LOVE to scoop up their chili with tortilla scoops.
5:45 D3 cleans up room- I clean up kitchen- Dan working- B playing
6:15 B bath
6:45 Story for both boys and bed. They went to bed early tonight, but were super tired.
7:00 Make lunches for tomorrow.
Check email/blogs
Hopefully read some more and maybe watch a TiVoed show!
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Dan for 9 years. I couldn’t ask for a better husband or father for my children!
We have two wonderful little boys. D3 is very smart, very sweet, and very spirited. He’s seven years old. L is very sweet, very cuddly, and very spunky. He is three years old.
My main job at this point in my life is mommy and I’m blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom most of the time. I also teach preschool part time and love it.
Wow! I am exhausted just reading all that you did. Busy, busy…but I’m sure you wouldn’t have it any other way =)
new moon was my favorite of the series!!!
got a girls night planned for friday to see the movie!
our days look oddly similar!
Cindy, where did you get the divided lunch container? I could really use those for Nate & Mag. Great idea! With a schedule like yours, I award you “mommy of the year!” Once again, you are very inspiring!
The container is a lock n lock container and I got it at Target. They have a big selection at our Winn Dixie too. I love it! I also have a Sassy one for B, but I didn’t use it that day.
I’m glad you did this! I love reading blogs like this. It may not be glamorous, but it’s definitely worth remembering what life was like during these years!
