So, here's what I did today while Keith was out of town.
6:30-Alarm went off, hit snooze until 7
-Shower, turn on Reagan's cartoons, get Reagan up, get Reagan dressed/hair done, make R breakfast
-Prep my work bag (coffee cup, lunch, water bottle) and Caroline's diaper bag (spare bottle and nipples)
-Make Reagan's lunch (she requested yogurt with her sandwich today) and 2 drink cups
-Mix bottle, change Caroline's diaper, grab a warm hat for her, feed her a bottle, help Reagan brush her teeth. R wants to hold Caroline, she does so for about a second, then asks me to come get C. Sit Caroline in her bouncy seat.
"Reagan, put your plate in the trash."
-My turn! Brush teeth, Makeup, hair, iron pants.
"Reagan, turn the tv off, we're about to leave"
-Find shirt and boots, put on jewelry.
-Load Caroline into her carseat with blanket.
"Mom, I need my little pink umbrella"
-Give Reagan her umbrella, grab coat and raincoat
-Step out into the freezing cold sleet and wind. Load diaper bag, R's backpack, R's lunchbox, my work bag in car.
-Run C and R out to car.
-Pink umbrella flies away.I run to get it (halfway across the yard) I step in a deep puddle. Shoes and socks are now wet. Go inside, change shoes. I'm wearing Birkenstocks until I get to work. I don't even care at this point. Grab another pair of boots for later. Hair is a limp mess.
-Heat up car, head out at 8:40!
-Arrive at RCC (daycare), drop off Caroline at the nursery, drop Reagan off at the gym where the 4's class is. "Kiss, hug mommy"...Check in girls on keypad, head to work.
-9 am-Park in parking deck, take Galleria elevator up to work elevator all the way to the 10th floor.
-Grab coffee and begin to address emails. Slow work day....thank God!
-Order party invitations and proof.
-The snow starts coming down and I hate that I can't show it to Reagan. Thankfully the school is taking the kids out to play in it for a little while.
-RCC daycare is closing at 4, I leave at 3:30, get home around 4:30. There's no snow to play in now.
I feel awful that the snow is gone. I pick Reagan up, run her over to Keith's spare truck, which has snow on it, and we grab a handful. We take turns throwing it and Reagan just loves it. I feel much better and I'm hoping we get snow again this winter.
-I get all of our bags and mail in. Reagan wants a snack. Get her a snack, change Caroline's clothes and get her a bottle.
-Caroline and I take a quick nap while Reagan watches Dumbo.
-I wake up refreshed. For once! And.....it's dinner time. 6 pm.
-Heat up some soup and make buttered toast. Dinner is served! Throw some Reese's cookies in the oven and some laundry in the washer.
-C is still sleeping. Better get her up. Got her plate of baby food ready. She's eating turkey, squash and apples tonight. She clears the plate.
-Straightened up kitchen. Cleaned out fridge. Loaded bottled waters to the fridge.
-Bath time for C. Put on her pjs, sit her in the bumbo to play.
-Bath time for R. We spelled words with the bath letters while I cleaned the toilet. Reagan asks can she clean the toilet and gets upset when I tell her "Not this time. You're getting clean in the bath."
-Finish cleaning the floors while simutaneously handing C's toys to her since she drops them every minute or so. Clean sink. Change out hand towels.
-Get Reagan out, organize tub toys. Give R vitamin and clean her ears, put on her panties and pjs.
-C is ready for her bedtime bottle. I try to teach R to give her a bottle. She does okay for a few minutes, but has a hard time holding C up and the bottle and everything. I let R play on her LeapPad while I feed Caroline.
-Laundry load #2 is in. I play the "laundry organizing game" with Reagan. She divides up the clothes by owner.
-Brush Reagan's hair. Lay out clothes for her for tomorrow. Lay out C's clothes.
-Hang up mirror in Reagan's room that has been bugging me. Can't find a hammer, so I use a screwdriver. Done.
-Kisses and hugs to Reagan as she gets tucked in. "Night night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!" she says.
-Lay out C's clothes, kiss and hug to C and put her in crib. She's not ready.
-I sit with Caroline and rock her and rub her head. She falls asleep about 15 minutes later, so I put her to bed.
-Take out my bathroom trash and kitchen trash. Run outside to put in the garbage bin.
-Run dishwasher. Clean up and dust a little.
-Wipe down wood in living room, vacuum floor.
-Fold laundry while watching Grey's Anatomy. I end up diagnosing a patient before they do. Go figure. Put away laundry.
-11:30-empty dishwasher and check on girls one more time.
-Head to my bedroom for nightly rituals (brush teeth, take out contacts, etc. etc.). Prayers, set alarm for 6:30.....eh, better make it 6:45 for tomorrow. Reagan has a dentist appointment (cleaning) tomorrow.
Let's just say.....I'm exhausted. I can only imagine my days once Keith starts working 6 states away in a couple of weeks! Night all.
