So I did this a while back when I was working days.....now that I'm on evenings....here's a peek at how our day goes!
Aaron leaves for work at 530 AM when I'm still soundly deeply asleep. I'm so glad it's him now and not me!
830ish this morning Chloe wakes up and starts chattering in her crib...I usually can roll over and tune her out for a little while as she entertains herself doing who knows what (maybe I should install a teddy-cam in her room?)....845ish she is making it clear that she wants to get up. "MUM!" "NAAANAAAA!" "DA-DEE!" "NAY-TUH" (nate) "BELLA" (she starts hollering anyone's name she knows how to say...)
Drag my tired bones out of bed....help Chloe feed Bella her breakfast....help Chloe eat her breakfast. Lately her favorite is waffles which sounds a lot like owlfel when she says it. But she knows they're in the freezer which is why the freezer now has a safety latch/lock on it.
After reading my favorite blogs, e-mail, etc I take a shower. That sounds like it should be an easy task.....right. I can't exactly lock Chloe up while I'm in the shower....so I try to contain her to just the living room and bathroom by closing doors and gates. It also involves peeking out every few seconds and calling her name to make sure she knows I'm not gonna let her get away with anything. It also includes keeping her from climbing into the shower with me....she thinks she should join me every morning. After we're both dressed it's time to run errands or hang around the house and play/do laundry/avoid house chores. Today we ran errands.....Target, Old Navy, Walmart....then home as Daddy gets home from work around 12. Quick lunch together.....I pack my stuff for work and I'm off by 115.
Today at work I gave 2 15 minute breaks when I got there....helped cleaned some ORs finishing. At 3 I went in to the kidney transplant room for a whole case....we finished by 530....helped another room finish and clean up. Dinner break @ 6....started my next library book "Shoe Addicts Anonymous". Then into an OR to finish a GYN case....done with that by 830. Then made my rounds of all our rooms to make sure everything's stocked for tomorrow. Out by 10...and off to the gym to exercise before they close at 11.
Sometimes Aaron's still awake when I get home....I don't know how he can get up in the morning when he does stay up, though! I miss putting Chloe to bed every night....but it is fun to wake up with her in the morning.....and then I read or websurf to wind down before heading to bed.
WHEW......no wonder I look forward to sleeping in once a week!

There's things you like and miss about every schedule. I'm sad to be giving up my "sleeping in until 8:30 a.m. mornings with the boys". They usually come in and climb in bed with me and we cuddle. That all ends for me/us Monday. *whistful sigh*
