All before 9am...




Many days I think about this, but today I had to blog it so that I could remember these days in my life...

6:30--J's alarm goes off and we are "up"...
7:00--Caleb is up but in the crib while I get "ready"--sweats, of course, no hair brushed, no make up and certainly no shoes...
by 7:10 I am snuggling with Jeb and he is ready to get to the playroom...
Breakfast for three made and cleaned up...start supper ...
drinking coffee,
cleaning doors that don't look so white anymore, wiping down trim in a few spots...on my way to clean 3 carpet spots that have red mud all over them...
changing a poopy--looking at the sparkling clean windows that I cleaned last week--EVERY downstairs window was cleaned with a razorblade and newspaper--it is a glorious day to look at!
wash hands

kill fly
clean bathroom
wash hands
drinking coffee
change another poopy--guess he wasn't done--
wash hands
back to finish making supper that I started at 7:45
get that done and in the fridge,
dance to "She's Country" with Jeb and Caleb,
brush my teeth in the kitchen sink
brush their teeth and change their clothes AGAIN for Jeb...the two of them dirty at least 3 changes a day...
drinking COLD coffee

adopt one of Jeb's dogs--Pongo--who will spend the rest of today wherever I am at ...
wipe down the counter tops, and table...start full dishwasher after getting Caleb out of it for the 10th time today...
wash hands again....they just ache somedays ...
clean out leftovers in the fridge--which causes me to remember to go let the dogs out--feed the dogs all the junk that's no good in there..
fold a load of clean laundry that I started at 9pm last night...fight Caleb to not go up the stairs, tear into the brooms or get in the dryer...
blog from 9:01-9:05
Now I must go and wipe Jeb...he's pooped now....
This truly is a typical day ..all at 9:05.
It is not glorious
Okay, back at 9:12...had to go re-clean the bathroom b/c Jeb peed everywhere but in the toilet..
while doing that Caleb knocked over a plant and proceeded to track the soil all over the kitchen so some light sweeping was in order...
Now, I must go and tend to them b/c I know they are making MORE messes as we speak...
And to think that today is a GOOD day because I slept LATE!

Sounds like a good day! Glad you recorded it because you know one day you will miss it!

Yup, that pretty well summs it up for life with two youngins! Atleast I know I am not alone in my struggles to keep Rhi out of the dishwasher. What is it about dishwashers that makes them so enticing to kids?
