A Day in the Life
Good Morning!
- Wake up immediately going over the day ahead in my mind - are there any changes to the normal schedule? i.e Dr.'s appointments, story time, business dinners, etc..
- If monsters are still asleep, go in and make sure they're breathing because Why are they still asleep?!
*Note: This only happens on weekdays. - Get in the shower - Complete darkness is preferred... due to Jax's new light switch habit I've become an addict.
- Out of the shower - brush teeth - make up - underwear.
- If monsters still sleeping - check again to make sure they're breathing because Why are they still asleep?! *Note: This only happens on weekdays.
- Dry Hair (sure to wake them up).
- If only Jackson is up - go in. Hug, kiss, hold, rock ... rinse and repeat.
- If both are up, I take Juju and Joe dresses Jax. Get as much mushy snuggling in as possible.
- Dry diap for Jax? Offer up the potty (and new truck, candy, and other assorted bribes).
- Potty yes? Take Jax, clothes, etc. to downstairs bathroom and sit him on the potty. *Resign to fact I will have to pick out the first thing that's clean to wear because 1). I am STILL in my underwear and 2) Due to potty, there will be no time for appearance consideration, ironing, or choice.
- Potty no? Get Jax dressed, bring downstairs, put in highchair - hand him milk.
- Go upstairs and say good morning to the happiest little girl on the planet (in the morning) - Miss Juliet.
- Hug, kiss, hold, rock ... repeat.
- Dress Juliet. Bring her downstairs and be sure to grab blankies, pacis and whatever else is needed for the day ahead.
- Feed Jackson (yogurt and toast or yogurt and a cereal bar). Feed Juliet (cereal and fruiting). *Sometimes this occurs simultaneously.
- Slug coffee.
- Pour more.
- Slug more.
- Bottles (prepared the night before) in fridge bag. Wipe the kids. More kisses, small talk and hugging. and off we go.
- Jacket, "bu hat", and "cah" sneakers for Jackson while Joe packs up the car.
- Realize Jax has a poop. Everything off, change diap, everything back on again. "Why didn't you put those in a potty? Did you know if you put those in the potty you will get a new truck?"
- Run back into the kitch to take something out of the freezer to eat for dinner.
- Run out the door hoping to beat the buses up the street.
- Stop at neighbors before putting Jax in car seat so he can say Bye "(Bah!)" to each and every one of their lawn ornaments.
- Put Jax in the car first - Car entry order is crucial as we don't want to leave Jax alone in the house for fear of being locked out.
- Car, Drop off, Go to work.
