MY DAYS

I am following a couple Stay at Home Moms and really enjoy seeing how they live day to day. I would love to join the club! I wonder if they know what it would be like to be a working Mom... Here is a peak at how I'm surviving it...

  • My mornings begin around 5:45am. I'm supposed to get up and exercise. Still getting used to the idea of that though...:)
  • Then I spend a few moments with my wonderful Hubby after he wakes up. A cup of coffee to get me going, and a brief shower while DH cooks breakfast.
  • DS wakes up and sigh, goes potty!
  • Breakfast and then were off! (note: This year I am going to do my best to start reading scripture in the mornings as well, so far it is with the exercise while I'm getting up at 6:30 instead of 5:30)
  • I leave at 8am for work.
  • I work. until lunch. then I run errands, eat, and go back to work.
  • I get off at 5pm.
  • Pick up Little Man at School. He goes to a nice christian daycare. He is learning so much! He can count to 10 and say is ABCs (with some prompting, he's not even 2 yet!)
  • We rush home, sometimes we stop in at Grandma's house to get some of that wonderful Grandma/Grandpa love!
  • I cook dinner. PS: it is now around 5:45 unless we went to Grandma's house
  • We eat, after I'm finished I start cleaning the kitchen.
  • When Johnn is done we have our play time.
  • Around 7pm is bath and bible time. We read a story or two from his baby's 1st bible, which he calls the "Jesus book!"
  • He retires, normally, around 9ish.
  • At this point I start working! I clean the house, wash clothes, etc.
  • Hubby gets home around 11:15 from work. We try to spend time together and then I pass out... usually around 12:30am.
Wow... I never thought about it but I only get like 5 hours of sleep. How come it only feels like 2?

If you aren't out of breath, you probably skipped part of it... LOL.

So that is my day in a nutshell. It sometimes doesn't go as planned but we make do. I'm trying to come up with a workable schedule to help me with dinners and cleaning. I like the flyladies site and her formula. Hasn't really stuck yet though.

God Bless ya'll,

Jess
