Sample

My days are so crazy these days.

This is a little sample of a "normal" day. 

The following takes place between 5:30 and 6:00am..

OK..too much 24.

But seriously that was not a typo. Both girls wake up between 5:30 and 6am

EVERY DAY.

6:00 am-Bottles (thankfully Russ is home to help with this feeding)

6:15-7:30-play time (for the most part they play great either together or alone

during this time with little interruption. I spend that time doing laundry, 

eating breakfast, making breakfast for the girls, showering, and whatever

else I can squeeze in)

7:30-8:30-morning nap (I am still usually trying to finish getting dressed

do my hair, check email, make coffee..)

8:30-9:00-eat breakfast (either jarred or homemade baby food 

depending on how organized I have been that week, puffed cereal, 

cheese pieces, yogurt, basically what ever is in the house :)

9:00-9:30-clean up the giant mess that is breakfast. Not only the 

food that is on the floor, the entire high chair and both babies

from head to two. While I am doing this they are either wanting attention

or crawling around on the floor with the cats trying to get anything

that fell on the floor. 

9:30-9:45-change diapers and get both girls dressed for the day

10:00-11:00 run errands (try to get as many groceries as I can stuff under the stroller,

hit the bank drive through, get gas, grab a coffee. Yes, more coffee

don't judge.)

11:00-noon-either one or both have started crying so now we are back at home

during this hour I chase them around the house while they attempt 

to eat cat food and pick at the outlet covers. Or we go for a long walk

if its a nice day, or play out on the porch in the pack and play.

noon-12:30-lunch 

12:30-1:00-clean up lunch (see above) change diapers, put in bed for 

afternoon nap. 

1:00-230 or 3:00-NAP 

sweet love. this is the best time of my day.

but I am still running around planning dinner, folding laundry

picking up the hot mess that is our house

3:00-3:15-bottle

3:15-4:30-take a LONG walk outside if nice, run another errand 

if not nice. 

4:30-5:00-playtime 

5:00-5:30-dinner for the babies, Russ gets home from work 

5:30-7:00pm-playtime for the babies, clean up dinner plan what

Russ and I are going to eat for dinner, sometimes actually have time 

to eat dinner.

7:00-7:30-baths (every other night) bottles and 

7:30 BEDTIME. 

7:30-10:00pm-attempt to regain sanity. Eat dinner if we have 

not had a chance, discuss how crazy both of our days were, pick up the array 

of baby toys, wash bottles and make new ones for the next day. Feed/water

cats, try and relax and either read or watch TV for a few minutes..

Honestly, I love every crazy minute and would not trade it for the world!
