A Typical Day

A Typical Day

You have seen the ever popular CherishingHopesanddreams.blogspot.com “Thirty Things” posts.  It became a Pinterest sensation about a year and a half ago.  I know a lot of blogs started up just because of that one blog. 

I have decided to tackle number 12 out of the 30 things list.  I don’t want to do the list in order.  What fun is that? Order/Disorder. It’s not hurting anyone.

So here it is: Describe a typical day in your current life. 

I have decided to describe a typical Monday for you.

5:15 am: My alarm goes off.  I hit snooze….for the next hour.

6:15 am: Out of bed. Pick out the kiddos clothing. Wake them up. Wake them up again. Get dressed. Take care of personal needs. Make sure kids take care of their personal needs. Pop a waffle or strudel in the toaster. Makes sure the kids eat. Pack lunches. Help Peyton find socks. Make sure kids have lunches and backpacks. Gather everything I need for the day. Say goodbye to the cat trying to escape outside. Lock the door. Go to the car.

7:00 am: Get in the car. Drive the kiddos to their summer day camp program.

7:30 am: Arrive at day camp. Check kids in. Tell Peyton not to break his glasses again. Hug and kiss the kids goodbye.

7:55 am: Park in the gravel pit they call a parking lot and walk to the State Building.

8:00 am: Work, work, work. Call people, interview people, investigate, enter verifications, try to figure out why people send me some of the stuff that they do. Hear stories. Try to figure out which stories are true.

12:45 pm: Lunch. Sit and relax. Eat. Read a magazine. Read a book.

1:30 pm: Back to work.

4:45 pm: Leave work. Walk to Gravel Pit.

4:55 pm: Arrive at Gravel Pit Parking lot. Drive to get the kiddos.

5:20 pm: Pick up kiddos at Papa’s. Watch kids play around for a little bit.

5:45 pm: Drive Home.

6:15 pm: Arrive at home. Take care of the animals. Eat Dinner. Watch Wheel of Fortune. Start some laundry. Maybe relax a few minutes in front of the iPad.

7:00 pm: Get ready for practice.

7:30 pm: Leave home for derby practice in Independence.

7:50 pm: Arrive at Practice. Get my gear on and get ready to skate.

8:00 pm: PRACTICE! Practice how you play. J

10:00 pm: Sweaty and tired. Take gear off. Head home from practice.

10:30 pm: Home…

11:00 pm: Take a shower, try to relax, play on the iPad.  Pretend to watch a movie. Fall asleep while pretending to watch a movie.
