I love, love, love reading day in the life posts - so I figured I would do one myself. Hopefully this doesn't scare you away...or bore you.
Due to the nature of my job, I have opted to keep the details of my work out of my blog. (gasp...is she an FBI agent? Coroner? D.B.Cooper's accountant? Plastic surgeon to the stars?) No no...nothing that exciting guys.
Here we go!
5:30 a.m. - Kevin's annoying alarm goes off - he snoozes.
5:39 a.m. - Kevin's annoying alarm goes off - he snoozes
5:48 a.m. - Kevin's annoying alarm goes off - and he finally gets out of bed. I also get out of bed and make lunches for the day. Yes - I GET UP AND MAKE LUNCHES IN THE MORNING. Sorry, just thought I would yell that in response to everyone who just went "What...Oh my word...you actually get up at 5:48 and make lunches?"
I am usually back in bed by 6:00 at the latest. Kevin is out the door around 6:15.
6:30 a.m. - my alarm goes off. I immediately jump out of bed and head off to rouse Kaci from her slumber. This is the best part of my morning. She is so sweet when she sleeps, and even sweeter when she first wakes up. "Hi Mommy! Can I watch my show?" After I deny this request, explaining that we first have to shower, things go one of two ways. 1 - "NOOOOO! I don't want you to clean me! cry cry cry cry". Thankfully this only happens about once a week. 2 - "O.k. and you will put lotion on me." Moisturizing is a very big deal for Kaci.
7:30 a.m. - Kaci has had her milk and watched a quick 20 minutes of Cat in the Hat, and we have both readied ourselves for the day. I drop Kaci at daycare and head to work.
7:50 a.m. - Technically work starts at 8:00 a.m. I need to ease into it though. Breakfast, chitchat, blog reading, etc.
9:00 a.m. - 4:52 p.m. - Work. I try to escape for some form of exercise or grocery shopping if need be on my lunch. (My research has shown that traffic around my place of employment gets ridiculous beginning at approximately 4:53 p.m.)
5:20 p.m. - Home sweet home. Start dinner, recap the day with Kevin and Kaci, throw in a load of laundry, etc. Kevin is pretty good about helping with dinner.
6:00 p.m. - Hopefully at this point we are sitting down and eating - otherwise I may be HANGRY. Those closest to me know that I tend to get a bit grumpy if I am hungry. Hmmm - I guess I just figured out my flaw.
6:30 p.m. - Dinner and dishes are done. If it is nice we usually head outside to hang out, possibly walk over to the in-laws and see what is happening with their garden. I like to keep tabs on this so that I can be ready to assist with the picking and eating. Sometimes we are stuck inside. Puzzles, books, jumping on the bed, etc.
7:30 p.m. - Kaci gets to have some milk and maybe watch one of her shows.
8:00 p.m. - Kaci needs to be in jammies with her teeth brushed and in bed. She requests a hug, a high five, and a kiss from both of us. Lights out. And then...lights back on. "I need to go to poop." "I am thirsty." "What's that noise?"
8:30 p.m. - You can usually find me laying on the couch at this point. This is really when I should be updating my blog, organizing my pictures, etc. I hate computer work at night.
10:00 p.m. - Good night!
