A day in my life

12:44pm on the 26th of June, 2007

I’m fully aware that my editorial skills are severely lacking, especially if I only time a few moments to make a few posts & then dash off to do something else. Such is the life of a stay at home mom, I guess.

    This is usually how my day goes:

  • Dane wakes up @ 6:00-7:00a
  • K gets up, asks a few random questions- mostly about where “this” or “that” is
  • Ella & Noah hear us, so they come into our bedroom
  • Kids are all demanding food- stumble into the kitchen to comply
  • See K off by 7:30 at the latest
  • Feed kids while doing the dishes or a load of laundry
  • My turn to eat- eat at desk
  • Check email & blog while I eat
  • Nurse D-man while I try to score some paid posts- usually 9:00-10:00a
  • Naptime for the baby, cleaning time for us- the kids & I do a few household thing
  • Gametime for Noah at 11a, then lunch
  • PBS time the hour of noon- blog-time for Momma
  • Days of our Lives comes on at 1p- Dane usually wakes during it
  • Nurse baby
  • TV goes off & kids pick up any toys @ 2p
  • Craft time until 4p while Momma blogs & tries to make more moolah (Most days K is already home!)
  • Nurse baby & feed him solids 5p
  • Naptime for Dana again 5:30-6:00p
  • Settle the kids down
  • Vacuum
  • Quiet time for TV & bookreading in the living room while..
  • Momma cooks dinner @ 6:15- 6:45p- baby wakes around then
  • Nurse Dane, feed kids & myself- K, too if he’s home
  • Spend some family time until bedtime for N & E @ 7:30-8:30p (we vary it, it’s never been set in stone to be an exact time)
  • Mom & Dad get time for themselves & D-man
  • Bedtime for Dane anytime from 9:30-10:00p
  • I usually fall asleep with him reading as he nurses
