A Day in the Life

It is a really crazy day around here today so I thought I'd just do a quick post of how our days go...

5:30 Alarm goes off--Shane and I get up--he heads out the door for PT and I get my kid free computer time

6:15 I get the kids up--we then have 1 hour to get everyone dressed, breakfasted, hair brushed, teeth brushed, snacks and backpacks backed (supposed to be done the night before, but doesn't always happen), shoes on and girls on the bus

7:15 Shane is usually back to put the girls on the bus--Dillan loves to go with him
Then we have an hour of getting Shane ready--the boys have Daddy time--Brendan throws fits that he's awake...

8:15 or 8:30 Shane leaves for work and Dillan usually wants TV time--Brendan and I get started on Homeschool--I help Brendan with whatever needs instruction or clarification, read to him, etc. in between helping Dillan draw or play or read or whatever he wants to do. I also head upstairs to do a weights workout during this time and fit in cleaning and laundry where I can.

11:00 we have lunch and get the kitchen cleaned back up

11:30 Brendan attends Music or PE at the school 2 days a week--Dillan and I go run on the track--on the days Brendan doesn't have Music or PE he comes with us

1:15ish we head home and get Dillan down for a nap
Brendan and I finish up what we need to finish--I shower--finish chores for the day and prep for the evening.

3:30 the girls get off the bus and we do homework and prep for evening activities.

6:30ish we have dinner and cleanup

7:00 Kids all get ready for bed--showers/baths, PJs, teeth, stories

8:00 Lights out for Dillan, Meghan and Kathryn

8:30 Lights out for Brendan
Then I finish up where needed and spend time with Shane

about 10:00 I collapse.

This is just kind of a rough outline--for instance today after school I am picking up the girls because Brendan has Webelos 3- 4:45-- The rest of us are headed to buy a birthday present for one of Meghan's friends who has a party today at 4. Brendan has soccer practice 5-6 and the girls have a game at 6:10--No I have not figured out the logistics of all this yet....

Well have a great day!!! We will have another busy one....
