A Day in the Life of Me

Here's a rough outline of my typical day's schedule. All is subject to change in a moments notice, but this is a normal day for me and my bunch.

6:00 AM~ Madison wakes up for the day and we come downstairs to watch what I've recorded on TV the night before. Start the coffee!!!
6:45~ I wake up Jared and Brittany for school. I make their breakfasts, pack a lunch for Jared and try to get ready myself. Search for a morning cartoons that all will agree to watch before they actually get dressed for the day.
7:30-7:45~ Wake Johnny up so he can get ready for work and I put the kids in the car. We leave for school and I down a cup of my favorite raspberry white chocolate mocha coffee before we go to kick start my brain!
7:45-8:10~ Drive like a mad women to get to TWO different schools that are ACROSS town. I pray we make it before the 8:10 bell rings. They hate to be tardy, but sometimes it's out of my control with lots of traffic and slow cars in my path.
8:30-9:00~ Now I'm back home, I haul Maddie and her HEAVY car seat back inside the house. Put her in the exersauser or walker with a few snacks to munch on while I make her breakfast. I make a bite to eat for myself in the process. Start a load of laundry, soak dishes to wash, and finish my TV show program from what I started earlier. Feed Maddie her baby food.
9:00-9:45~ Clean up the kitchen, living room, make beds and try to get Maddie down for a morning nap.
9:45-11:30~ I get caught up on my blogging or run to the store during this time. It's easier to do stuff when Madison is sleeping rather then awake and fussy.
11:30-2:00~ The baby and I eat some lunch, playtime, and work on a project off my to do list. Clean or organize something else really fast.
2:00-2:45~ Put the baby down for an afternoon nap while I steal a moment to jump on the computer to see what's going on in the world, or watch another DVR TV show.
2:45~3:45 Pick up Brittany from middle school and meet Jared at his bus stop.
3:45-4:30~ Fix the kids an after-school snack, look for paperwork in his backpack from Jared's 2ND grade teacher. Sign whatever/Read bulletins and get homework ready for the evening. If it's nice, we go outside for some fresh air and sunshine!
4:30-5:45~ Brittany gets on her computer to chat with friends, animate her drawings. Jared goes for playing his XBox or with Lego's. Maddie goes down for another short afternoon nap. I finish whatever cleaning and start cooking dinner.
5:45-7:00~ Serve dinner to the troops, clean-up and TRY to catch up on my reading/books from the library.
7:00-8:00~ Homework time with Jared, playtime with Maddie before she's gone to bed for the night. Shower's/bathtime begins.
8:00-9:30~ Watch whatever favorite prime-time TV show is on that night. Then everyone gets ready for bed.
9:30-10:00~ Good-night my kiddies and if I have the energy left I sometimes wait for the hubby to come home. Most night's he's not in till 11pm or Midnight. If I make it that long, I will watch some late-night TV with him otherwise I'm fast asleep.
2AM~ Maddies up for a feeding (I'm Sleepwalking during this time)
4AM~ Up for another baby feeding then if I'm awake enough I sometimes jump online in the middle of the night. It's the only time I can do so without interruption.
6:00 AM~ Alarm goes off and I'm ready to do it all over again.

So now I hope you can see why you don't hear from me as much anymore. My day is pretty full and it's only getting busier. If the kids don't have school, my schedule is a little more crazy. Add in Jared's Spring baseball practice soon, doctor's/orthodontist appoitments and play dates with friends...I'm constantly on the go.

I'll rest when I'm dead I guess. If you haven't heard from me it's because I stay rather busy. Either I wait till Madison gets older or enlist more help in order to have free time for myself. I'm thinking of you all, I sware, I just don't slow down enough to keep up with everyone like I use to. Hope you all understand.
