A day in the life of me

I did this post last year about this time. I think it will be fun to one day go back and see how much my day to day life has changed. Maybe I will look back and say "how did I do all that?" Or maybe I will think, "I wish I had all that free time." Lol. I remember during the summer when the kids went to Jimmy's parents for a week I did not know what to do with myself. Most days I feel like there are not enough hours in the day. But I know this is just a short season in my life and it will pass quickly. I try to guard my family's time and keep my priorities in line. I feel like we are so busy and we do not do even half of what other people do. I don't know how they manage. I just try to keep a balance. I went back and read my other post. I wanted to make sure i include the same type of information. Caden started first grade this year and now Paige goes to pre-k half a day everyday. I still work from home. I think that should cover it. So, here is what my average week looks like right now.

Monday- Alarm goes off at 5:15
Get dressed
Do my morning job duties for work
Fix kids breakfast
6:30 feed the kids breakfast, make their lunches and get them ready for school
7:10 take the kids to school
8-9 go to the gym
9-11:30 work like crazy! Lol
11:40 pick up Paige from school
12-2 give Paige lunch, clean and work
2:30 pick up Caden from school
3-5 finish up work, make sure homework is done, clean, fix dinner
5:30-7. Dance and soccer practice
7-8 bedtime routine
8-? Finish whatever else needs to be done! Lol. Usually laundry, work on Sunday school lessons and get everything ready for the next day

Tuesday- looks exactly like Monday but we have tumbling and no soccer

Wednesday- no dance or soccer
Church! This is also our family dinner day.

Thursday- I think my favorite day of the week. The daytime is the same as all the other days but our evening is free!

Friday- Daytime routine is the same. This is usually the day I add paying bills, making my meal plans for the next week and grocery shopping.

Saturday- soccer games at 9. Then whatever! Sometimes birthday parties. This is also my catch up day on my cleaning schedule.

Sunday- Church, and more church. Lunch with family and get ready to do it all over again!

Not the most exciting post, but one I want to remember.
