Mornings start early here.. Brandon is up at 4:30 and out the door by 5. We won't see him again until about 5 at night. Sometimes on Fridays he gets off early so thats like Christmas to me!!
Ezra and I get up around 6:30.. I make Make breakfast, wakeEthan up ( I try to let him sleep as long as possible b/c he is not a morning person, Ezra wakes up on his own at 6:30.. yes even on the weekends!) . I start laying out clothes and making Ethans lunch, packing snacks, signing papers that I forgot about from the night before. Ethan starts getting ready about 7 with a usualy melt down about something most mornings. Elyza wakes up around 7:30 so that gives me enough time to get Ethan ans Ezra dressed before she wakes up. We pile in the car and get Ethan off to school by 7:55. ( I don't like to get him there earlier because if they get there before that they have to sit in the media center and Ethan doesn't like that)
WOOO!! Are you still with me?
Come home, Feed Elyza. read books play and she goes down for a nap at 9:45 and sleeps till 11:30 or 12. while she sleeps Ezra and I play, read. watch t.v. do a little cleaning and mess on the computer like I'm doing now! We eat lunch around 12:30 and they kids play while I clean or work on pictures or just whatever I need to get done for the day.
We pick Ethan up at 2:30 and head home and start homework and dinner.( There is usually an hour long meltdown with Ethan over homework) Fun Fun! I hate homework!
I try to have dinner on the table when Brandon gets home about 5. We eat, we play we take bathes and bedtime is 8:30 for the little ones and Ethan stays up later because he has a hard time going to sleep.
In the midst of all that I go to the gym 6 days a week whether its in the morning after breakfast or I go at night after everyone has gone to bed. Thanks goodness the gym is open late!! We also fit in the park and cubscouts and church on the days thats all that extra stuff falls on.. we are getting ready to add karate and gymnastics in the mix! You should probably start praying for me now! and then we do it all again the next day.
Wow! That is a lot!! Good idea for a post. I may steal it for next week! :) If that is ok?
