A normal week Day for the stay at home mom......well me at least

8:00 am : One if not both girls are awake and im trying to do everything possible to lay in bed a while longer. if its brie awake i make her watch cartoons on my bed while i half sleep

9:00 am : give up on sleep Brie wants breakfast and has to go potty and keeps yelling at me "its awake time mommy"

10:00 am : Change G's diaper for about the 3rd time this morning, get her dressed and start one of 4 loads of laundry. Clean up toys, breakfast mess, and other random items. If lucky i will get a shower in there.

12:00 : Make Brie lunch, clean up after she spills something, bounce G 24/7 hoping one of these times she closes her eyes she will keep them closed for longer than 5 min

The rest of the afternoon is a repetition of the morning, cleaning, bouncing, laundry, diapers, baths, changing clothes and if we are lucky to have nice weather some play time outside or other super mom thing i come up with like painting or a craft or bake some cookies.

Also once in a while they take a nap at the SAME time and i get to read a few pages of a book, check email, or actually do my hair and put on some make up.

4:30 : head to town to meet up with Dad who will then take the kids for an hour so i can go to the gym.

7:00 : Go home, make dinner while playing with brie, and bounding G. Clean up some more.

Night time is usually Kacy watching some boring shows while i entertain the Girls some more till they finaly go to bed about 11 when i crash as well only to wake up a few hours later to start all over again

Dont get me wrong i love every messy, annoying, Dora filled moment of it....most of the time :)

P.S. the key to not going crazy is to plan a lot of adult time as well such as couples night, movie night, Greys night, and having play days with other moms as often as possible. And always remember the next weekend is on its way!
