a day in the life of me
/Morning! Are you ready for a day in the life of me? This is Monday, November 19th. Here we go...
I woke up a little late today. 6:00am is usually more like it.
First things is first: coffee. The house is quiet, I'm the first one up. I love this time.
Then breakfast. Blueberry yogurt parfaits and cinnamon toast.
Time to make lunches, help braid hair, and pack backpacks.
7:20am, drop Emma off at school, drive home, see Hannah and Laurel off to catch the bus, make breakfast for Ian.
Quick hair and make-up, then out the door.
9:30am Driving! Ian is excited because we're going to the indoor play gym! And because I'm playing his favorite song ... loud! (He's a fan of the banjo!) It's raining today, sometimes we go to the park, or the library, or just walk around our neighborhood. This boy needs to get out and explore!
After playing with sweet friends, we went to the bookstore, the post office, the bank, and Costco.
1:00pm : Home to make a little lunch for Ian and lay him down for a nap.
2:00pm. I sit down for 30 minutes to eat lunch (french onion soup- I know it looks gross. It's yummy, I promise) edit photos, check email, write lists, and update the calendar.
Since I didn't go to the gym earlier in the day, I really wanted to go for a run, but the sky looked ominous and the wind was howling. I flaked out.
3:00pm, I'm out the door to pick the girls up from school. Then it's off to lessons: guitar for Emma and violin for Laurel. During their lesson, Hannah does her homework and reads to me in the car. (Ian is still napping at home, where Carl is working.)
5:00pm: We're home for dinner. It's a quickie tonight, Costco's chicken noodle soup, some crackers and cheese, and strawberries.
5:40pm: I'm driving Hannah to swim team practice. During her practice I read a little, check email, scan Facebook and Twitter, edit more photos, and text my Dad. We're home by 7:20pm. I help brush teeth, read books, lay out clothes for the next day, and tuck kids into bed by 8:15pm.
Once the kids are asleep, I plug in my headphones and breeze through some dishes and laundry.
Finally, at 9:30 I pour a glass of merlot and head for the tub. It's been a busy day. *Sigh* time to relax. I flip through a catalog, finish this post, chat with Carl, and am in bed by 10:45pm.
That's it! What do you think? Wanna do it again tomorrow?
