A Day in the Life.

[magnolia]

Let's see -

1. Up at 5:30, brush teeth, then shower
2. 5:45-5:50 Go pour cup of coffee (coffee pot is set night before and comes on via timer!!). Let Gabby out to potty (Gage is pee pad trained and not allowed out by himself ... he gets in too much trouble when outside alone!)
3. 5:50-5:55 - Turn tv's on in the boy's rooms to start waking them up
4. 6:00-6:20 - put on make-up and dry hair (and going to TJ's room to remind him he needs to get up and shower!)
5. 6:25 - pour another cup of coffee, go outside with Gage, and have a smoke.
6. 6:35 - tell boys to get their bookbags ready, brush their teeth, etc.
7. 6:40 - remind boys again to "get it in gear" for school; top off coffee cup
8. 6:50 - pour coffee in travel mug, get boys to car, leave for school/work
9. 6:53 - at my friend's house getting her son on way to school
10. 7:10 - drop Taylor off at the Jr High
11. 7:20 - drop TJ and my friend's son off at the high school
12. 7:25 - arrive at work and start my day
13. 7:25 - 2:30 - code medical records, review in-house patient records, sneak into YT and here as I can, and if I'm lucky, get 10 minutes to eat something for lunch!
14. 2:30 - leave to go get Taylor from Jr High
15. 2:40 - arrive at high school to get TJ
16. 2:50 - back at work (boys are with me sometimes - if not, I take them home and then am back at work by 3:15)
17. 4:20-4:30 - leave work headed for home!
18. 4:45 - home from work (unless I have to run by the store), sit in the recliner and "catch my breath" for a few
19. 5:30 - start supper
20. 6:30 - or close around that time, we eat - then hubby and I clean the kitchen (if he's home, if not, then I clean up)
21. 7:00 - review with the boys for any test they may have the next day OR if no test, we watch a little tv together.
22. 8:00 - remind Taylor to go get shower
23. 8:30 - remind Taylor to go get shower
24. 8:45 - threaten Taylor if he doesn't go get a shower!!
25. 9:30 - remind boys it's time to brush teeth and start winding down for the night.
26. 10:00 - everyone goes to bed!! I read before going to sleep so I don't fall asleep before 10:30

Add into that mix from the time I get home til I go to bed, when I'm not cooking or cleaning the kitchen, Gabby and Gage are right with me (Gage is actually in my lap now as I type this - he loves his mommy) So, my life is pretty boring too! It's filled with either work or kids - both skin and fur!
