A day in the life...
I hope this is going to be a good laugh for most of you who have been there or who are going to be there soon, I charted what I did pretty much every hour for a whole day! Can we say multitasking!!
A day in the life of me with 4 1/2 year old Trevor, 2 1/2 year old Breanna and 4 week old Lucas:
2:15 am Breanna wakes up, Josh brings her to our room and she sleeps at the foot of our bed
4:50 am: feeding, sitting up, the news comes on
7:00am feeding, all the kids pile into bed to climb on me and poke me. Curious George comes on TV
7:30 am out of bed--do I have to? I would love to just curl up and sleep for another 3 hours!, time to shower
8:00 downstairs to get the kids finishing their breakfast.
8:10: do breakfast dishes, wipe table, sweep floor under Breanna's chair
8:15 Trevor needs new pants they are too loose, we just decide to tie them ( he is wearing gray-blue sweat pants with a brown power-ranger shirt b/c he got himself dressed), I eat a quick bowl of cereal
8:17 bring Breanna up to get her teeth brushed, hair brushed, lotion on her face
8:20 get Lucas changes and dressed
8:25 feed Lucas, make up a story about a "brave hat" to get Trevor to get his own pants and booots on.
8:40 get Trevor's teeth and My teeth brushed, get Breanna's socks and shoes and put her in the car
8:45 Get Trevor and Lucas in the car, leave for preschool
9:05 Trevor gets dropped off, make a cell phone call to Kristen about tonigh'ts plans while on the way to Breanna's playgroup
9:30-11 playgroup, feeding
11:30 pick up Trevor from preschool. Breanna doesn't want me to hold her hand and screams--I have to carry her. Another Mom comments about my "full hands!"
11:45 get home, let dogs out, take kids out of car, Lucy won't come in!
11:50 start making lunch, try to call Lucy inside-no luck!
12:00pm Try to call Lucy again. Get Breanna in her chair, Kids lunch on the table
12:05 try to call Lucy in again-no luck--try to eat some lunch, Lucas cries to eat
12:10 feed Lucas-Trevor gets Lucy inside, Breanna throws her lunch on the floor
12:15 Breanna poops, change her diaper, give her a bath, put her down for nap
12:40 Breanna still awake, jumping and yelling in her crib, finish feeding Lucas from 12:10
12:50 Lucas poops, bring him upstairs to change his diaper- it is all up his back! time for a bath!
1:00 finish Lucas' bath in the sink, get him dressed
1:10 clean Lucas' poopy clothes, put in a load of laundry-Breanna still awake!
1:15 Trevor is crying downstairs, won't tell me what is wrong
1:30 check e-mail, start writing this...
1:45 do lunch dishes, try to mop the floor where Breanna's spilled food was
2:00: Breanna finally asleep! Rock with Lucas while Trevor climbs on me
2:30 take pictures of Lucas he is 4 weeks old! Trevor tries to block the picture
2:45 Trevor has to poop-says he needs help.
2:50 Trevor yells, "all done!" Refuses to put on his own pants, wipe or wash his hands. He says, "I don't like you and I am not bringing you a flower..."
3:00 Feed Lucas while Trevor climbs on me and says he his having a "bored" day b/c he "doesn't get to do anything for himself."
3:30 Lucas goes to sleep (and I practically fall asleep in the rocking chair-feeding him I want to take a nap!) and I put him in the crib. Breanna wakes up
3:40 take Breanna and Trevor downstairs and turn on Curious George and get them a snack.
3:50 posting on this blog
4:27 Lucas waking up! Change his diaper-poop again! Walk by the coffee stain on my bedroom carpet for the hundreth time. Oh well, we will rent a steamer cleaner this weekend.
4:30-5:00 sit on couch and watch CLifford with all 3 kids
5:00 Josh gets home early!
5:30 eat dinner
5:45 Change Lucas' diaper twice and feed him.
6:00 meet Kristen at old Navy/Target/mall fro gift shopping feed Lucas in the car.
8:30 pm get home unload car, clean up the house, feed Lucas
9:30-10 pm finish writing this, check e-mail, off to bed!!
After all this you would think I would have HAD it and completely lost patience by the end of the day, but suprisingly I am loving this (most days). I LOVE having a baby in the house and my heart is more full than it has ever been:)
