A Day In The Life...

I've done A Day In The Life posts before.  Not because I think anyone at all cares about what I do as a stay-at-home Mama.  I do these posts to remind myself how crazy wonderful my life is with our two young girls, a successful Scentsy business & a hard working (and handsome, I might add) husband.

So without further ado, here is what my hectic fun Wednesday looked like!

5:00 am: my alarm went off bright & early this morning.  As much as I didn't want to, I dragged myself out of bed & did a workout video.  My life is so busy, that if I don't do it bright & early, a lot of times it never gets done.  And exercising for me makes me a much happier wife & Mama.

6:40 am: I got Kennedy up, made her breakfast & lunch for school.  

6:50 am: Marc got Ashby up, and I made her breakfast.  While the two of them ate, I finished getting ready for the day.  And Marc left for work.

7:00 am: I got both girls ready for the day.

7:40 am: the three of us left to take Kennedy to school.

8:00 am: Ashby & I ran to Target to buy cupcake mix for Kennedy's Valentine's Day party at school on Thursday.  I volunteered to make 24 cupcakes.

9:00 am: dentist appointment for Ashby.  She did awesome with both the cleaning & x-rays!  Everything looked great.  No sugar bugs, Mama & Daddy are doing a great job cleaning & flossing her teeth, and she doesn't need to be seen again for another 6 months!

{The doctor will see you now!  Her prize (by her request!) for being such a good patient!}

10:00 am: gymnastics class for Ashby.

11:00 am: Ashby & I ran a couple of errands after gymnastics class.

12:00 pm: back home & lunch time!

1:00 pm: Ashby went down for rest time.  Even though she is sick with a cold & it is painfully obvious that she is tired, she refused to nap & just played upstairs in the playroom.  During rest time, I worked on my Scentsy duties, emailing customers, connecting with my team, and making important phone calls.

2:40 pm: Ashby & I went to pick Kennedy up from school.

3:15 pm: back home & time to work on the girls' Valentine's Day cards for their class.  Yes, Mama is a slacker & we are working on them the day before Valentine's Day.  Ha!

4:00 pm: I started to tackle cleaning the house.  Papa & Grammy are coming for Grandparent's Day at Kennedy's school tomorrow, so I want the house to look presentable shiny & clean!

4:30 pm: Marc & Kennedy left for swim lessons.  But not before a pit stop at Costco for juice boxes for Ashby's Valentine's Day party.  We usually leave at 4:15 pm for lessons, but since Ashby is sick & not going today, they don't have to be at lessons until 5:30 pm.  I continued to clean & vacuum while Ashby plays Wii Wipe Out.  

5:30 pm: dinner for Ashby & me.

6:00 pm: bath time for Ashby.  She is super cranky, not feeling well, and ready for bed!

6:30 pm: Kennedy came back from lessons & I gave her a bath while Marc vacuumed the stairs (that vacuum cleaner is too heavy for this Mama).

7:00 pm: bed time for the girls.  I finished up the Valentine's Day cards for school tomorrow.

8:30 pm: I put together some Valentine's Day goodies for the girls & Marc.

9:00 pm: plop myself on the couch, turn on HGTV & stare at my laptop.  This mama is T-I-R-E-D!!!

I'm off to bed soon, ready to get a good night sleep, and do it all over again tomorrow!  It's a busy, crazy, hectic life right now.  But I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!
