Day in the Life.. Wednesday, December 17

6:30am- alarm goes off and I catch up on Facebook, text Alan and Lauren(her son has been sick so I was checking in, not that texting at 6:30 hasn't happened before 😂). Around 6:50, I get up, shower and get ready for the day. I let Wilma out and feed her.

7:30am- fix my coffee and pop a bagel in the toaster oven. I get the girl's breakfast ready while it's toasting. . If food isn't ready when they get up, it's not good. Obviously I am not Weelicious, but they will eat it. After my bagel is ready, I put peanut butter on it, turn on Today and update this blog.

 8:30- the girls got up before 8 and are eating. While they eat, I empty the dishwasher and load it up again. I get both girls dressed and teeth brushed.

12pm- Madison has been dropped off at school. I swing by Krispy Kreme to get coffee and donuts and me and Riley go visit a friend who has a 2 week old girl at home. We visit until time for me to go pick up Madison, who gets out early from preschool since it's her last day until January. I pick up M, get gas, we get home and I put Riley to nap and give Madison a snack. I start the dishwasher and start a load of clothes in the washer. M watches Disney Junior while I eat lunch(leftover spaghetti). I boot up my computer to update this blog, read blogs, Facebook and print ideas for cupcakes for Rileys party.

1:15pm- Madison asked for me to build a fort so I do and she plays while I'm eating and on my laptop. Riley is awake and I fix them both lunch. Carrots with ranch(for M), ham, cheese and Puffs for them both. They eat while I make my afternoon cup of coffee and straighten the kitchen.

2:30pm- after Riley eats, she's a mess.

 

 I need to give them a bath early anyway since we have dinner plans with Alan's work, so I start the water, put them in and let them play a while. I get Riley out and dressed while M plays a bit longer. I then get M out, dressed and dry her hair. Then we go upstairs to play a few minutes before nap. Riley mostly crawls from toy to tot while Madison glues stuff to a plate.

4:00pm- I laid Riley down and then I lay with Madison. She finally falls asleep and Riley is still up rolling around. I sneak out of the room and get a shower after putting up a load of clothes. I get ready for our dinner party tonight.

5:30pm- I have gotten ready and Riley and Madison are awake and Alan's mom just got here. She will stay with the girls while we are gone. We go up to the playroom and play while waiting on Alan, who gets home a few minutes later. He showers while we are upstairs.

9:30pm- We went to the party which was at the local Art Museum. It is mostly sales people and a few others from 'home base'. We chit chat, eat and they give out awards to the Sales Reps. We leave around 8:30 and are home around 9. His mom put Riley to bed and her and Madison are in the playroom playing. We told her to keep her awake until we got home. She leaves and we put Madison to bed by 10. We are in bed by 11 or so.

I saw this on another blog. It's similar to a Day in the Life, but a lot less detail. This was on Friday.

Here's my Day in the Life from this past Saturday..

8:45am- Madison got up around 7:30 and she came in our room to lay down. She played with her apps on the phone for a bit and then Alan gets her up and changes her diaper, gets her morning milk ready and I lay in the bed catching up on social media. He fixes his coffee and I finally get up and fix mine and start some bacon in the oven while he feeds the dogs and Madison plays with her stuffed animals. Alan runs the trash to the dump and Madison plays in her room. I cut Madison a peach up, give her yogurt melts but she insists on a food pack(orange and banana). I fill up the dog and cats water bowls and the first round of bacon is ready so I pull that out and put the second round in. Alan is back and him and M are playing. She loves when he pulls Barney and Mickey around the house on a towel and she chases him around laughing.

10am-  I fix myself a peanut butter wheat bagel and some bacon. Alan then goes to fix him a bacon and Swiss bagel. We eat while M watches Pet.TV. He starts the dishwasher, I get another cup of coffee and he takes M to the playroom to play while I put a load in the washer, clean her room, put up her laundry and paint her letter and clock-all while ITunes Radio plays(Muse radio)

 

1:30pm- I have gotten ready while Alan plays with M. I take her and our dog, Wilma outside for a few minutes while Alan cuts grass. We come inside and I give M a dose of meds and some honey (she's had a bad cough) since she will be napping soon. She eats her peach from this morning and I put her down for a nap. I fix myself an apple and boot the computer up while the tv is on. I print some recipes from Pinterest, pin a few things, update a few blog drafts and delete some pics from the computer and rearrange my picture folders. Alan comes in around 1, takes a shower and I get Madison up so we can leave for a birthday party .

7pm- We went to E's birthday party, Walmart, Lowes and are now home. It's Alan's bath night and he gives her one early. I take a shower while he does that. He gets her ready for bed and then he goes to take a shower. I fix her a plate of cheese and carrots and give her a food pack. She devours the pack and some cheese while watching Zou. 

10pm- Madison went to bed by 7:30 and I had a bowl of cereal and Alan had a salad for supper. Neither of us were real hungry since we ate at E's birthday party. He starts the football game and I play on my phone until basically 10:00. Candy Crush, Pinterest, texting Royal, Instagram, Facebook and blogs. I book our maternity session with our photographer at a nearby strawberry/pumpkin farm for November during that time too. I am bored and tired so off to bed I go while he finishes the game. Goodnight!

Hosting a linkup with Royal Proclaims!

We wanted to host a linkup and tried brainstorming what we could do. We came up with doing A Day in the Life post. Basically, just blog about what you do that day from the time you get up until bedtime. Pick whatever day you want to do and we will post the linkup on Tuesday, October 8! You can do from today until that day or just do one day. I'm doing just one day because my days are generally pretty insane. I hope you join us! If you want to see one of my old Days, go here.
