I am sitting here amazed as to how today has gone. I got up 30 minutes late but we were all ready to leave on time, which is rare even when I get up on time! Of course it did help that it was raining so I didn't have to put much effort into my hair! I got the girls off to school, came home and wrapped hubby's gifts all while chatting with my aunt and one of my best friends! Then it was off to get gas, Hallmark for a birthday gift, and then lunch with a good friend to catch up on life and our girls. Almost 2 hours later we parted ways (funny how it didn't seem that long to us!) and I ran to the bank to ask once more why I was charged a monthly fee on my account. Then off to pick up Bug and we had to go back up to Hallmark because the credit card machine was down when I was there and couldn't actually make my purchase and stopped back by the house so I could potty and Bug could eat some yogurt and off to pick up Peanut. After the girls got home and got to open the door and get a piece of candy from the advent calendar, they were ready for a nap. So I retreated upstairs to get a jump start on the office's payroll for Friday. Now here I am, all caught up and really excited! Tonight I have a Christmas party to attend and daddy is taking the girls to Wal-Mart. The great thing is, I don't have any plans on Thursday while the girls are in school so I'm not sure what I'll do! I know what I need to do (work out!) and that's what I will plan to do. Knowing me, if somebody asks me to do something else, I'll jump at it just to get out of working out!
My friend I had lunch with today, just quit "corporate America" to join us "at home Mom's" and she was asking my thoughts on it and advice. Her girls last day of day care is today so she said she "officially" begins tomorrow even though she hasn't worked in a week. I didn't have much advice for her... mostly because I'm not even sure what the hell I'm doing most of the time! She also asked what we did all day and I drew a blank. I couldn't tell her a thing! As for a daily schedule, we eat breakfast, do some stuff, eat lunch, nap, get up & have a snack, d some more stuff (usually they play their DS or watch tv while I make dinner, just to be completely honest)eat dinner, and then get ready for bed. I feel like all I'm doing with my girls is feeding them (now don't go freaking out on me, I only feed on demand- I'm not encouraging food issues for my daughters! It's just that my girls like to eat a lot but you can't tell from looking at them). We also don't do certain things every day & I am NOT the mom who feels I have to entertain my girls non-stop. My thought is "that's why I had a second child so they could entertain each other!" I have since learned that fighting is an acceptable form of entertainment in their book (as is the game "annoying the crap out of your sister"!). Wait, we did have a craft day last week! They made ornaments for their family... well, let me clarify that- I had to cut out the hand prints & assemble the ornaments and insert the picture and they put stickers on them. Turns out that craft was not as much fun as I imagined!!! Next Monday is baking day. Fingers crossed that it is a little more fun =)
