A Day in the Life...

... of a mother of a 5 year old and 1 month old...

Today was the very first day that I did the gig as a Mommy to two sweet little girls, all by myself. The first week Daddy was home... and then we've had 3 weeks of family visiting... but today, I was solo, from 7-5 (well, we got home from the park around 5:30). I wasn't sure what to expect, but figured I'd try and document each and every hour something that occurred...

7:00 am: breakfast with my 5 year old... Vidia, the fairy, had to join along...

8:00 am: morning stretches with my 1 month old... she's a later riser than her sister...














9:00 am: morning chores... dishes, laundry... as much as I can get done before the littlest starts to cry because she's not being held.














10:00 am: painting nails... I promised her colored fingernails for her first day of school tomorrow, and lets face it, it's a way to get her to stay still for more than 5 minutes.

11:00 am: a little fresh air break... 

12:00 pm: normally we'd be having lunch... but because we had 2 massive spitups, aka mucous rockets... we opted for bath time. 

1:00 pm: FINALLY lunch time.

2:00 pm: Some quiet time for Mommy... Charlotte gets to play/watch on the iPad, Marley was napping, and I was busy editing photos. 

3:00 pm: Happy Hour at Sonic stop, on our way to the playground. Charlotte LOVES her 20 cent water with ice... she calls it her "special drink"... the girl doesn't like much but water and milk. 

4:00 pm: At the playground, while Charlotte was having fun sliding, exploring, making friends with everyone that was there, etc.... I was busy taking in the sights of my Marley. She's so entertaining with all the different faces she makes. Sidenote: dare I say that she's actually starting to like her car seat?

5:00 pm: Laying out her outfit for her first day of Kindergarten tomorrow...  

6:00 pm: Dinner from Wendy's... why? Because I COMPLETELY got sidetracked, and forgot to turn on the crock pot this morning... yup, can't win them all. 

7:00 pm: Swings from Daddy before bath and bedtime... 

All in all, I can't complain... it was a great day... it went way better than I thought it would... 

Things not photographed: 2 huge spit ups... thank you Marley Wren, 1 bloody heel from new shoes... sorry Charlotte Wray (at least we broke them in before school tomorrow), and 1 Mommy who didn't shower all day (after this blog post posts, I just might be hopping in the tub to soak). 

Pin It!
