My Day

5:20--Wake-up to Deacon's screaming
5:20--8:45--Dress self and 2/3rds of children, feed children, change poopy diaper, scream at Parker repeatedly to get dressed and stop teasing his sister
8:45--9:15--Take Parker to school, clean up breakfast
9:15--Attempt to nurse Deacon to sleep; McKay comes in to play ponies and wakes Deacon up--no morning nap
9:30--11--Lay on floor reading book while children crawl over me, stopping occasionally to play with children
11--Feed family lunch
11:30--Put Deacon down for afternoon nap, bathe and dress McKay, pull sopping bath towel out of tub
12--Deacon wakes up screaming
12:01--Say small swear word silently under breath
12:02--2:30--Lay on floor reading book, stopping occasionally to pull choking hazards out of Deacon's mouth
2:30--Finish book
2:35--Feed children candy
2:45--Turn t.v. on for McKay, pretend I don't notice Deacon sending faxes, sit down at computer to blog about how I got nothing done today

sigh - and to think the 'male version' would only include 9:30-11: .....but WITHOUT the guilt undertones. If only to even experience such freedom.

Are you going to have to re read what you read? :) I tend to have to do that.

Was the candy chocolate? And did you write "eat chocolate" on your list of things to do on Friday?

Hooray for Mommies! That sounds very productive to me! :) You got Parker to school and all of your children eventually dressed. When Steve comes home from work and his children are still in jammies - he knows it's been a rough day. ;)
