Week In The Life -- Tuesday

6:30 am -- Tuesday started with my morning Bible reading. I either try to do it in the morning or at night. However, I don't always manage to fit it in.

7:15 am -- I made breakfast and then Rachel woke up. She wanted me to take a morning selfie of us cuddling. She wanted me to take a video too, but it was so awesome, I'm saving it for the Academy Awards! Ha ha ha!

7:25 am -- Before she could sit down and eat breakfast, Rachel also wanted me to take pictures of her doing "1000 jumps in one minute Mommy! I'm so fast!!!"

7: 30 am -- Rachel was sitting at the table for breakfast and I woke up Sam. I also made beds and picked out the kids' clothes for the day. Then I ate my own breakfast and drank a cup of tea since I thought I needed to head out of the house for the morning by 8:30. A phone call at 8:15 saying the person I was supposed to meet with was sick changed my morning plans.

8:25 am -- Both kids were getting dressed in our room.

8:40 am -- We were all ready to head out the door to get Sam to school. I ended up talking with one of the other moms for about twenty minutes after the kids went inside so we didn't get home until 9:30.

9:30 am -- Rachel wanted hot chocolate so I made that and then did dishes. Because she was distracted by her hot chocolate I didn't have any "help" this morning!

 

10:00 am -- I had poured my second cup of tea but didn't have time to drink it since Rachel and I had to leave.

10:25 am -- We are, yet again, hiring another teacher at the preschool so Rachel and I went to do some in-class observations. We got home around 12:15.

12:15-2:15 pm -- I was talking to the president of the preschool board and getting Rachel lunch. She fell off her chair, cut her lip, cried, and fell asleep while I was holding her. After my phone call was done (it was a long one (which I interrupted in the middle to deal with Rachel)), I heated my tea from this morning.

2:31 pm -- I made, and ate lunch, answered some e-mails, and read a couple of blog posts.

 

3:07 pm -- Rachel and I headed out the door to pick Sam up from school. When we got home, around 3:40, I spread sand on our icy sidewalk and driveway so hopefully people won't wipe out. Fun times.

3:57 pm -- Time to make supper. I made regular lasagna! And the kids, who were super-tired, watched a video.

4:30 pm -- It was dish doing time again, including the ones from Sam's lunch. This is also a "Week In The Life Of Someone Who Doesn't Have A Dishwasher."

5:05 pm -- I took some time to do some blogging, and started writing this post.

6:00 pm -- Suppertime. This meal went much better tonight and both kids ate fairly well.

6:55 pm -- After supper was over I played a few mindless games on the iPad while Sam played a game on our computer. Dave downloaded some DOS games from when he was a kid and Sam likes to play them once in a while. Then I read about seven (short) chapters to Sam from "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory." I started reading chapter books out loud to Sam in the summer, and this is the sixth one we're on now.

9:05 pm -- After I was done reading to Sam, I headed out to my ballet class. It's for an hour, from 8 until 9, on Tuesday nights and I'm always exhausted by the end of it.

9:35 pm -- I chatted with Dave, put on my pjs, finished this blog post, and headed off to bed. I try to have some reading time in bed and fall asleep by around 11. I'm not always successful at this but if I get up at 6:00 am, I'm usually pretty tired by then :)
