A Day in the Life

Ever wonder where your day goes? This is where mine went. Not complaining. Just looking at it all go by.

6:00 am. Jack wake-up call.
6:20 am. Eliot is awake and creepily hiding in the hall and murmuring about wanting the ipad. Make breakfast for the boys.
7:20 am. 1.3 mile family walk!
7:50 am. Make an egg for myself for breakfast while everyone else has absolute meltdowns over the fact that I am unavailable for their whims.
8:00 am. Help kids draw and color so they don't kill eachother.
8:30 am. Pack up the kids and go to the park.
9:20 am. 1.5 mile run around the lake.
9:40 am. Play at the park! They're having a great time and behaving really great.



11:00 am. Leave the park. Kids demand Sonic slushes. Ok...
11:30 am. Home! Make kids lunch.
12:00 pm. I take a shower.
12:30 pm. Jack goes down for a nap.
12:30 pm - 2:30 pm. Play games and watch Godzilla with Eliot. Eat yogurt and almonds for lunch in bed. Sneak in a power nap in between Godzilla battles.


2:30 pm - 3:15 pm. Deep clean the bathrooms and kitchen.
3:30 pm. Jack wakes up! What a long nap! Get him a snack.
4:00 pm. Go to Home Depot with Chris for mulch; go to Target with Chris for food.
5:45 pm. Home and unload groceries... Make dinner. Chris grills chicken and I chop veggies.
6:15 pm. Eat dinner. 
6:30 pm. Take the boys into Eliot's room to play Hungry, Hungry Hippos until Jack breaks it and the boys fight. Then play dinosaurs. Read books... Clean up Eliot's room whenever they're distracted enough.
7:30 pm. Eliot has another meltdown over I-don't-know-what because he is tired. I read to him in bed and tuck him in for the night.
8:15 pm. Jack is outside playing with Chris. They're having a great time, but it is bedtime.
8:30 pm - 8:45 pm. Jack throws fits getting dressed, throws a chair on my foot, and cries until he passes out.
8:45 pm. Work emails.
9:30 pm. This, for some reason.
