Sometimes, I think my husband must wonder what I do all day, when it seems like I've done absolutely nothing around the house when he gets home. Little does he know...
Today was one of "those" days... all moms know what I'm talking about. One of "those" days where you just couldn't seem to get much done! Ours went like this:
5:15 a.m. Matthew gets up to eat. Mommy feeds him and puts him back to bed, praying he'll sleep for at least another hour.
6:45 a.m. Matthew is whining in his crib. Not crying, but whining. But, it's persistant, so he must be ready to get up. Mommy goes to get Matthew and brings him back to bed with Mommy and Daddy for a few minutes. Matthew wants to eat again. ok!
7:15 a.m. Mommy gets up with Matthew, changes his diaper and goes downstairs to start the day! Matthew sits down in the middle of the floor and plays and Mommy finishes packing Daddy's lunch. The cats are sitting patiently by their dish and looking at me, but they'll have to wait until later.
8:00 a.m. Mommy and Matthew kiss Daddy good-bye and wish him a good day. Time for Matthew's breakfast! Matthew actually ate today.
8:15 a.m. Time to talk to Grandma on the computer for a few minutes.
8:45 a.m. Time for nap #1. Matthew is already rubbing his eyes. Matthew goes down. Mommy makes a beeline for the kitchesn. Empty dishwasher. Put in load of laundry. Wash dishes. Take out vacuum cleaner. Matthew wakes up.
9:45 a.m. Time to play with Matthew. Usually we play upstairs in the morning. Mommy remembers that she hasn't showered yet, so we move playtime to the exercauser in Mommy's bathroom.
10:30 a.m. Time for milk snack. Then more playing. Oops, run down and put the laundry in the dryer.
11:00 a.m. Attempt #1 to go out. We need a snowsuit. Matthew is rubbing his eyes though. Does he need another nap? I don't want him to be crabbing when we go... let's see what he does. Matthew sleeps for 15 minutes then gets up again.
11:30 a.m. Mommy thinks about going out again. Oh, but it's just about lunch time, and if we go out now, he'll be hungry by the time we get back. Ok. Lunchtime first.
12:15 p.m. Lunch is finished. Playtime again. Try at least put 1 dish in the dishwasher. Milk for dessert.
12:40 p.m. Matthew falls asleep during dessert. Mommy puts Matthew in crib and thinks she'll lay down for 20 min. Sets timer. Timer rings. Mommy still wants to nap, so she lays back down.
1:45 p.m. Matthew wakes up. Naps are over! Ok, time to go out? Well, I'd better let him stretch and play a bit before making him sit in the carseat for an hour. Jolly jumper time!
2:30 p.m. Finally, we get ready to go out. Coats on, boots on, mitts, alarm set, got the keys? Mommy's wallet, diaper bag... oh and can't forget Matthew! Lock the door. Matthew in the truck. Uh oh, Matthew only has one boot one! Where's the other one? Oh well, Mommy remembers there's another pair of boots in the stroller in the back. It's easier to get those than to go back in the house.
3:30 p.m. Matthew tries on and likes very expensive baby snowsuit.. it's the first and only one we've found that is 24 months, which seems to be the size required for my very long baby! Ok, it's blue, so if you ever have a sister, she's gonna have to wear blue too!
4:00 p.m. get home. Oh crap, didn't get anything started for supper yet! Matthew, jolly jumper time again? Get out potatoes for fries and make hamburgers.
4:45 p.m. Matthew's getting fussy. Let's see if he'll have a quick nap so he doesn't want to go to bed at 6 pm again. No such luck.
5:15 p.m. Matthew's supper
6:30 p.m. Daddy's home! Play with Daddy. Time for bath. Time for bottle.
7:30 p.m. Time for bed!! Phew! We're pooped!
