So it's been too long since my last post....that is because school has started so I'm back to the grind. In addition to my personal blog, I have a classroom blog going, and a grade level blog that I "co-parent" with another fabulous educator. I just can't seem to keep up in all the hustle and bustle with the postings! When I finally sit down at night, I just decompress and feel like doing.......ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! Does this make me lazy??? Sometimes when I look at the state of my house after a day, I think yes, why yes it does. Then I think about all the things that I have going on. Here is a run down of a day in the life of me
5:00-5:15-1st alarm (yes, first because usually there are more to come, but my husband has recently banned my snooze button.....so I have devised a different plan)
5:15-Go downstairs and brew coffee (it has a prebrew setting....but I never feel like preparing it at night (remember the sit around and do nothing?!) )and set second alarm because I then fall asleep on the couch while I wait for my coffee and get some extra time in
5:25-5:35- maybe get up or one more snooze
5:35-6:15-shower, do make-up, get dressed and throw hair in a bun (because I have snoozed too many times to actually wear it down)
6:15-Wake up Logan and get his stuff ready for him to get dressed
6:20-Get his breakfast and lunch ready
6:30-Make sure he is brushing his teeth and do his hair
6:40-Out the door (HOPEFULLY!)
7:00-Drop Logan off at school
7:15 Arrive at work and try to make another pot of coffee to get me through the busy day that will commence
7:35-Get kids from gym
7:40-2:40-Teach my little heart out
2:40-3:00 Dismissal
3:00-3:45- is usually one of the following activities depending on the day-tutoring, meetings, or newspaper club.....Friday is the only time that I have this period to do whatever needs to be done.
3:45-4:45-This time is usually spent lesson planning, copying, grading, emailing, and prepping for the next day
4:45-Go pick up Logan
5:00-Go pick up Carter
5:30ish- Come home and then begin to start cooking dinner
6:30ish-Eat dinner
7:00ish-Bath time
7:30ish-Carter gets bottle and then bedtime
7:45-8:00ish-Logan get stories, prayers and bed time
And that is pretty much what ever single week night looks like to me. Luckily Chris just got a shift change, so he arrives around 6:30 to help with the later part of the evening. Prior to the change, it was all me, all night. So after reading that....I'm sure anyone would want to just sit and do NOTHING! Not to mention 3/4 of my Saturdays are spent managing the vaccine clinics. So I leave around 8am and return around 6-6:30pm on those days.
Lets just say that being home for this week is truly rejuvenating. I am trying to do all the things I need to do around the house....but again I just want to relax! The weather is so cold....I just want to sit around on the couch and drink coffee! What's wrong with that?! Well my kids don't appreciate the relaxation efforts....so today we will do something fun! I think we are going to make Santa Claus handprint ornaments that I found on Pinterest so we can have some quality time! Tomorrow, we are making some adorable turkey cookies and baking my favorite dessert.....cherry pie! I also have been doing some online Christmas shopping! It's great to not have to venture out into the cold to get some things done! I will post some pictures of how our ornaments and cookies turn out!
