--------------------------------------------------------
My typical life seems distant right now. I just feel like I am holding on till my family can be rejoined. So I will explain my typical day when life is not a complete whirlwind.
7:30 I hear the stirrings of my little ones. They typically don't wake up yet but I hear them working towards it. I groan inwardly for the days when I use to wake up whenever I wanted.
8:00 We are all normally up and about at this time. If Jeremy isn't working immediately sometimes I get to sleep an extra 30 min (It's a big deal.) I get the kids breakfast and I eat something not to heavy (unless it is Saturday, we tend to do something special then) I also check my meal list to see if I have to thaw anything for dinner.
8:45 I work out for 30 min to an hour while the kids either play with Jer or wreak havoc all over (lol not really but sometimes) If I shower before I work out it just doesn't happen. Like ever.
10:00 I am dressed, showered, and ready to mingle (so long as it isn't a lazy day.) This is when we tend to go out. Shopping, parks, library's, any other gaggle of errands that might have made it on the list. The goal is to not be tied to home if we can help it. When we are home (which let's face it tends to be like 70% of the time) We do crafts, play games, anything I can think of.
12:30 Lunch time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weird void between lunch and nap time. Never do the same thing; clean, watch show, do flips, outside, crafts, pretty much whatever goes.
2:00 NAP TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I rest. FB, Pinterest, Book, scripture study, nap, blogging, etc. If it is going to happen it happens at this time. Oh ya, I tend to be in pjs and unless something else is happening they tend to stay on.
4:30 Ah yes, the beasts awake. Then comes snack time. The kids have free play. They can do whatever they want as long as I am not involved*. Their favorites? Coloring, playing with their car mat, dress up, superheroes, etc.
*Yah, when I say I am not involved, I tend to still be in the thick of things. I just try. It is getting easier the older they get.
5:30 (somewhere around here) I do dinner prep while the kids watch a show or two or continue their free play.
6:30 Dinner tends to be on the table now. I get lots of ohhs and ahhs and everyone eats their vegetables while enjoying enlightening conversation (Did you catch the sarcasm?)
7:30 As soon as this time happens it is less than an hour till bed time. We (I) do a celebratory dance for we (I) made it to the final stretch! Bath time tends to happen in this area.
8:15 Pajamas, teeth brushed, Scriptures, Prayers, Book and song.
8:30 Lights out for babies (Addie get to get out of bed x2. And she uses it.), I do a 15 minute clean up (or my house turns to garbage.) If it is a bigger job than I turn on a show that I haven't been keeping up on (which is all shows I watch) and go to town. Jeremy always tries to talk me out of the 15 min clean up. I don't really know why, probably because I make him come do it with me :D If I have any work that has to get done I do it now after the clean up.
9:30 or 10:00 I tend to always in bed by this time but I don't sleep till somewhere between 11 and 12 unless it has been a LONG day. I tend to read, watch a show, play a game, or have pillow talk with Jeremy. Anything that can be done from the comfort of my bed.
We do have if, and, and buts to pretty much everything I wrote down, but this as close as I could get to a normal day.
