2 years, 3 months old
Since Allyson and Rachel did it, I have to, too. I have pictures though!
5:59am: Hear a certain two year old climb out of bed requesting Daddy.
7:41am: Hear the same two year old walk into my room to wake me up. He runs back out to Dad and I start to check Facebook in bed. Joe spoils me most weekends and lets me sleep in.
7:45am: interrupted again by Barrett who wants me to get him some juice. I get up and get OJ and give him a banana. Start to make breakfast (which is 90% of the time Joe's job.) Check back into Facebook while food cooks.
8:00am: get the car ramp out for the crabby/whiney kid who gets no tv today. That last two seconds and he starts playing basketball with Joe while I turn on Disney pandora and continue making breakfast and make our bed.
8:30am: breakfast eaten (eggs and sausage) and I get to clean a very messy kitchen. Weekly, I disinfect all the counters, knobs and handles so that is on the list this morning. I put away and reload the dishwasher and hand wash dishes.
8:51am: the first Frozen song comes on Pandora, B is bored again so I get out his puzzles in his room. Joe starts to clean the living room carpet.
9:20am: I'm done with the kitchen, B has gotten out about every toy he owns but has barely played with any of them, Joe is cleaning our couch cushions which is also a weekly job. I ask Barrett to help me wipe down all our door knobs.
9:30am: I change B and get him dressed while Joe changed Pandora to my DMB station. He can only listen to Disney so much. I start to mop the floors while Joe and B make a fort to distract B from the wet floors. The fort doesn't last long when B climbs from one chair to another thinking a blanket will hold his weight and it obviously doesn't as he pummels to the floor. :) We find a rabbit outside to distract again.
9:47am: floors are done, so I sit down to check Instagram and post this picture. Obviously, B didn't stay away from the wet floors.
10:12am: I'm done checking Instagram (yeah, takes a while) so I change out wet clothes and try to put B down for a nap. Cranky butt is still out in full force.
10:23am: Nap time Fail. Let B walk around aimlessly sucking on his fingers, obviously exhausted. Put away a load of his laundry and pick up a few toys around the house.
10:40am: B gives up and requests bed so we all 3 go to lay down.
10:56am: Success! He's out. Joe gets in the shower while I fold laundry and catch up on DVR episode of Nashville from earlier in the week. Joe does about 95% of our laundry but I'm in charge of folding and putting away. Yeah, didn't do that this week so I've got about 5 loads to catch up on. My most hated task.
11:40am: Laundry is folded and put away so I pause tv to hop in the shower. Joe puts away dishwasher.
12:00pm: Nice long peaceful shower which includes more steps than my non-high maintenance self likes. I've lost about 75% of my hair in the last few months which requires about 5 different products and a pixie cut for this girl. Even with the short hair, it takes me just as long to get ready with all these steps. Good news is they are working and my hair is starting to come back so it's worth it. Anyways, I start my show back up and sit down to load and edit pictures from today.
12:27pm: B is awake so he gets a pbj, string cheese and some goldfish per his request. The boys sit and watch golf while I continue getting pictures organized in my bedroom.
12:50pm: I heat up some leftover lasagna from last night for lunch. B finds my purse and a sucker while emptying its contents. He does butt bombs on our bed.
1:10pm: Barrett and I start to make banana bread. Baking is one of his very favorite activities. I get the kitchen cleaned and more dishes loaded and start the dishwasher (second time today)
1:30pm: boys go downstairs to mess around so I head back to my room to gets pictures loaded to Flickr
1:50pm: B is bored and comes up to join me. I let him play "paintbrush" aka iPad. No clue why he calls it that because he doesn't paint on it. He decides to watch Elmo clips on youtube. I check Facebook.
1:55: Joe brings up another load of laundry so I get to folding and putting that away.
2:00pm: I head over to the spare room to make the bed and clean up Barrett's toy closet.
2:30pm: Take out the banana bread, set up laptop on table to start typing post, check Instagram, take iPad away from B. He starts to hop on his trampoline.
2:47pm: B and J start to do a block puzzle that I just opened from his birthday while I continue write post and upload more pictures.
3:11pm: Break to get some banana bread. Barrett tries to annoy his dad who is hoping to nap.
3:36pm: I'm all caught up on the post and pictures so B and I do airplane about 170 times. My thighs and abs are yelling at me.
3:45pm: Get out crayons and coloring book.
3:47pm: Barrett gets a time out for throwing crayons.
3:56pm: Clean up, diaper change and lay on the couch to watch the golf. B hits balls for a while which he always does when we watch.
4:30pm: singing songs and tickle with Barrett. He tries to suck on Joe's hoodie strings which is a bad habit his father does.
4:55pm: Golf is over so Barrett gets a movie. His first viewing of Dumbo.
5:15pm: While the movie plays, I upload all my insta pics from the last 3 months to Flickr as a backup. Used to do it monthly when I posted monthly reports on B but since I haven't done one since his 2nd birthday, I'm due.
5:39pm: Start dinner, check Instagram
5:57pm: Dumbo is over. I didn't realize it was so short. Flickr pictures are still loading. 104 takes a while.
6:00pm: Joe turns on some baseball movie from when we were younger…Little Big League maybe… Mullets are out in full force. B is enthralled. I empty the dishwasher (again.) The boys wrestle.
6:15pm: Dinner is ready. B actually eats everything but his pork chop. Score!
6:33pm: Diaper change, teeth brush, jammies, and clean up the random toys everywhere
6:40: read books in bed, and start bedtime routine. A certain somewhere is not cooperating. Up and down, up and down. He gets his humidifier taken away and his nightlight (after he sits two inches staring into it).
7:38pm: Joe takes B to his bed. He's over this.
7:50pm: I take over when Joe is frustrated. B feeds on the frustration and makes things worse.
8:09pm: He's asleep in his bed in his room! Only because I actually climbed in bed with him. I should get a few things done but instead I get in bed with Joe and veg in front of Big Bang Theory.
Sometime in the middle of the night, I hear our door slam open and a little voice say "I lay by you, Mommy" Ugh, how do you say no to that???
