My Day in Great Detail

Okay, so I'm sure that most of you couldn't give a crap what I do all day, and some of you (pointing the finger at Matt) may wonder, but here it is, with all of the gory details.

Monday, May 23, 2011

• 5:30 am - Will is uncharacteristically awake and will not go back to sleep without being fed. Make bottle and feed while trying not to fall asleep myself.
• 6:15 am - Fell back asleep for a while. Will is back in crib and I am in my bed. Matt is at basketball and I am cuddling with none other than.... my dog Annie.
• 6:45 am - Allie is in my bed trying to tell me about her bad dream. I mutter something about "it will be okay" and ask her to stop talking because I'm trying to sleep. Great mom, huh?
• 7:30 am - I wake up again. Jack is now in my bed and Allie is on my toilet. She is trying to tell me what she's reading in People magazine, and I reiterate that "I don't care, leave me alone."
• 8:10 am - Allie is nearly ready for school. Will is crying. Erin is still in bed and Jack is dressed and waiting to go to his friend Arden's house to play.
• 8:20 am - Make my bed and sort the laundry. Matt needs clean underwear for his trip this week. Matt is home from basketball.
• 8:40 am - After getting Allie off with her carpool, I load Erin and Will in the car. Erin has her country fair at school today, so we load in the three-sided project board and the backpack, and we're off.
• 8:50 am - Erin is at school, and Will and I head to RB's for gas and a Diet Coke. Then we go to Jo-Ann's to get two silk flowers, a spool of gold ribbon and 2 yards of woven tapestry ribbon to help dress up Erin's Czech Republic costume for the day.
• 9:30 am - Back at home. Change the load of laundry. Feed Will and do the dishes. Clean the kitchen and put Will down for a nap.
• 10:30 am - With Will asleep, I'm off to the credit union to deposit the girls money that they earned helping Grandma and Grandpa this week. I head to the bank to cash in the spare change that Allie rolled and open a savings account for Will.
• 11:00 am - Headed home to get Will's birth certificate, because evidently you need two forms of ID to set up a bank account for a baby :)
• 12:00 pm - Bank accounts set up, and with a stop by Rue 21 for some headbands, I head to Erin's school to drop off her costume for the afternoon. We work out the kinks in the costume and then she's all sit.
• 12:30 pm - Lunch at Salt City Burger with my favorite guys. You have to try it. I got a Buy One, Get One special over my phone that expires this weekend, so what's a girl to do? Love the sweet potato fries.
• 1:30 pm - Back at the school to look at Erin's project alongside all of her classmates. She looks awesome and the project is pretty good.
• 2:00 pm - Back home and in the basement sewing. I'm making some tote bags for my kids and my nieces and nephew. We're going to Chicago this weekend, and I'm thinking that the kids will have a few purchases that they might need to keep track of.
• 3:15 pm - In the trusty minivan, headed to Allie's school to drive the afternoon carpool. Four kids, and stops later, I'm back at home and trying to round up the girls to head to Activity Days at the church.
• 4:00 pm - Dropped off the girls, talked to my friend Lisa, and then headed to the vet. Annie needs her Bordatella booster before she can stay at the kennel this weekend.
• 4:30 pm - In the kitchen, scrubbing potatoes to bake for dinner tonight. Make a bottle for Will. Open a YouTube account so I can post a video of Jack's preschool program on blog.
• 4:45 pm - Turn on TV to watch while I feed Will and am instantly ticked that I forgot to record Oprah today. Made sure that the next two days are set on my DVR.
• 5:00 pm - Updating blog and watching the news. Will is fed and happy. Dinner is almost done. Girls are home and Allie wants help with her homework. (Did I mention that I can't wait until school is out in two weeks?)
• 6:00 pm - Baked potato bar for dinner.
• 7:00 pm - Blogging and more sewing.
• 8:00 pm - Supervise the bathing and bedding of children.
• 9:00 pm - Finish sewing.
• 10:00 pm - News and bed.

Are any of the rest of you sick of my life??? I'm sorry if these daily "get to know me" posts are obnoxious. This is more for me than for you. Until tomorrow America!
