ahh busy day

valentines 2012

13 valentines with g - count'em13! so here's the day, start to end:
gym
home to finish breakfast
french braid hair (lux, not mine)
walk lux to school with crash
home
kibitz with painter
pack huxley up for day (well the first half of the day)
meet g for coffee
do a few errands with huxley (in and out of car and carseat - yuck)
take huxley to music class for first time "hi sara so nice to see you" experience his bad-asses'yness
meet girlfriends for lunch - with huxley and their babies (thinking meeting for drinks after bedtime will be better next time)
potty training
struggle to get huxley down
run out the door and leave him still awake at 2:20 for lux's valentines class party
run to grocery store
prep dinner
another hairdo for lux for ballet
send her off to ballet with g (savior, savior i couldn't rally another car trip)
more prep dinner
skype with parents and huxley
lux's favorite dinner (grilled steak, green beans, fruit salad)
clean up dinner
make lunches
have a bath - treat - bad timing, g gets kids ready for bed, which he can but its easier with 4 hands, not 2
huxley comes into bathroom totally undresses to hop in my HOT bath
out of bath, kids bathed and in bed reading charlie bone with dad
huxley not tired, or maybe over tired, sit on his floor rocking him with songs
finally put him down, still not tired or over tired
go to say good night to lux, she is already asleep
come downstairs to hang out with g - he says "i have a con call" - i should know this
write my blog and think about tomorrow (breakfast, walk lux to school, take huxley to gym with me, pick and buy paint, come home, put huxley down, figure out a sitter, go to 3 pm accountant appt with g, figure out and make dinner...and somehow get lux home from school and out the door after an early dinner for basketball practice, figure dog sitter for crash...i know there are other things,like laundry and housework and making lunches and cleaning up breakfast, potty training, toy putting away, spelling word practice, reading practice, basketball hairdo

i thought staying home fulltime would mean an hour each day curled on the sofa with a book...wtf!

transformation to housewife complete...

  1. an hour? are you kidding ;-) Though I do get 20 minutes in here and there, now that the kids are in school! I don't think we were as much work for our parents... right?!
