A Day in the Life

My days are not exactly exciting, but I still like to record them to look back on one day.  Because these seemingly boring, daily events are actually what it’s all about. ❤️

My alarm is set for 5:45, but I usually stumble out of bed around 5:50-5:55.  And then I workout.  If I don’t do it first thing in the morning, it’s not going to happen, and I like to have it done before I shower and get ready for the day.  I keep it simple- alternating between the elliptical machine and free videos on Youtube. This particular day was an elliptical day. After I showered and got ready, I packed lunches. I wake up the kids at 7:00, and the next 45 minutes are filled with doing hair, eating breakfast, and making sure we have coats, backpacks, hats, gloves and boots. After we dropped the kids off around 7:55, Tess and I ran some errands which ended with pizza, an icee, a cake pop, and an iced vanilla chai for “Till”.  And yes, the girl actually called me Till.  Tess immediately headed to the dress up basket as soon as we were home, and she decided to play in the tub with waterwhile I worked on the never ending pile of laundry.  There was also some bathroom cleaning that went on.  And vacuuming.  And all that good stuff.

At 3:00, we headed back to school to pick up the kids.They came home, washed their hands, and grabbed a snack.  And then headed down to the ice rink.

After awhile they came back inside for dinner.  This was the night we made the delicious schnitzel from my new cookbook. 😍 After dinner it was time for baths, a little show and snack, books, and bed.  On school nights, the little two are in bed by 7:00-7:30, and the older two are in bed by 8:00. Then I straighten up a bit, make sure everything is ready for the next day, and sit down to chat/watch a show with Ben until our bedtime at 10:30. 😴And that’s a typical day-in-the-life of us. 😊
