A day in the life

I thought it would be fun to track one whole day. Sorry it's probably boring but I'm doing it anyway.
8 AM - wake up, take a shower
8:30 - feed Addie. Brian already has Elli and Ben dressed and had them eat breakfast. Yay!
Do Elli's hair. Make sure everything is in her backpack. Get shoes, coat, and backpack ready.
9:10 - carpool comes to take Elli to school. Blow dry my hair. Put Ben's shoes on, get coat and backpack. Buckle Addie in her carseat.
9:25 - take Ben to preschool. Drive over to the church to help set up for our Relief Society Enrichment tonight. I am on the committee. Put up tables and chairs, set plates and silverware.
10:30 - come home. Addie falls asleep on the way. Whoops - I forgot to eat breakfast. Pour some cheerios. Start cutting banana on top but half way down, it's bad. Try another one. Half way down, it's bad too. Must have been on the bottom of a box. Pour milk and eat. I need to bring some brownies to Enrichment tonight so I start making them.
12:00 PM - Pick up Ben from preschool. Get home just in time to take out the brownies. Talk to Ben about school while he licks the brownie beaters. Make him lunch. Dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets and V8 strawberry-banana juice.
12:30 - start a load of laundry (normally I do laundry on Wednesday and Saturday but I didn't do any last Saturday so we're way backed up.)
12:45 - Addie wakes up. Feed her. When she's all filled up, she's so happy and Ben comes over and talks to her for a while. He keeps kissing her cheeks and I keep looking to see if the brownie mess on his face gets transferred to hers.
1:00 - I eat lunch. Mini corndogs and peach yogurt. I know, the corndogs sound gross but doesn't the yogurt balance it healthily out? Addie sits in the Bumbo and gurgles.
1:15 - Put in a children's music CD. Uh-oh! Diaper blowout! - change Addies outfit. When she's all clean, me, Ben and Addie dance and sing some songs until the CD ends.
2:00 - Make frosting for the brownies. Let Ben lick the (different) beaters. Okay, I lick one.
2:15 - Put Addie down to sleep. Check e-mail. Ben comes over and wants to draw on the computer.
2:25 - change laundry loads. Clean up kitchen from brownie mess.
3:20 - check on Addie. She's awake! That was too short of a nap but I needed to get her up anyway. Buckle her into her carseat and drive to the school to pick up Elli's carpool group.
3:45 - come home. Get snack for Elli and Ben. Yogurts. It has to be the 'whipped orange cream' flavor for both. I'm not a fan. Feed Addie.
4:15 - sit down to watch some Oprah. Dr. Oz is talking about eating healthy. I really enjoy my Skor candy bar as I watch.
4:45 - call my friend Leslie while I start cutting up some strawberries. Have a short conversation; it's dinner time in Texas! Cut up more strawberries, oranges, apples and nectarines for a fruit plate to take to enrichment tonight. Of course Ben and Elli have to sample some of the fruit.
6:00 - feed Addie. Play for a while. Watch her play her toy piano.
6:20 - Brian comes home. Change into a dress and put makeup on to look cute. Put my glasses back on and look un-cute again.
6:40 - load up the brownies and fruit plate into the car and head over to the church. Help get last minute things in order. Wow, there are a lot of brownies and fruit being brought! We have dinner: baked potatoes, salad and fruit. Next is dessert: brownies and ice cream. We have a guest speaker. Lynde Mott, an LDS artist, talks about fashion in the 1800's and how she makes her paintings historically correct. She likes to paint pioneer women. It's pretty interesting.
9:15 - help fold chairs and tables. Go into the kitchen to get my things. My fruit tray is loaded up with other people's fruit, along with some of mine. I only wanted to take my leftovers. Oh well. I find my brownie tray. ...ONLY ONE BROWNIE IS GONE!!! I am never making those brownies again. From now on I am making the box kind. Those are the ones that got eaten. They have about 50 leftover potatoes and they want everyone to take some. So I load up my full cookie sheet of brownies, my full tray of fruit and my baked potatoes and head home.
10:00 PM - Brian has Elli and Ben in bed. He has also folded and put away all of the laundry that got washed. He is my hero of the day. I try to find places in my fridge for all the food. Addie is just waking up for one last feeding. Feed her. Come back to the kitchen and tidy up a bit. Sit down and reflect on my crazy day. It's not usually this busy during my day but when it is, it's like a whirlwind.
