The answer to the question, "so what Do you do with your time as a stay at home mom?"

This week has been ridiculous. Just for shits and giggles, here is what i did today.

5:00am andrew is up, nursed him & put him back to bed. have no idea if he ever fell asleep as he was awake when i came back in at 7.
7am, wake up, get brady out of bed. get him motrin for his hand (that he whacked on a tree while sticking it out of a golf cart last night) and get him dressed and breakfast.
7:15, nurse andrew, change his diaper, lube his arm up with ringworm ointment
7:30am, wake brennan and nora, grab a couple of fruit bars and juice boxes (they may or may not have been lemonade) for nora and brennan to eat in the car on the way to take brady to school.
8am, feed andrew bfast and change his clothes
8:30, change over laundry, think about folding it, add it to the 2 loads I've already not folded on my bed, then get dressed and put andrew to bed
8:45, get nora and brennan dressed, pack lunch for andrew, snack for nora.
9:15, get girls ready to go, brennan to friend's house, nora to 10am doctors appointment
9:30, drop brennan off
9:50, get to dr office
11am, decline Hep A vaccine for Nora as I'm out of time, leave doctor's office and head to FA (his school) for an "off campus lunch" with brady
12pm, head to FA high school to drop brady off for graduation practice
12:30, hit target for more motrin, homework dollar store items for contribution, dress shirt for brady, since his one white button down has been lost
12:45, nurse andrew
1:15, get to FA high school for Brady's early release pick up
2:00, home, switch/fold laundry, unload dishwasher, load dishwasher, put andrew down for a nap (he never slept)
3:30, iron pants for brady and myself, sent brady to shower, threw nora in the tub
3:45, Piano teacher arrives, send brady in for piano lessons, get nora dressed, go to get brennan at her friend's house
4:00, sitter comes, get brennan dressed, switch brennan for brady in piano lessons, change poopy diaper, which is why (apparently) he never fell asleep
4:15, get kids a snack (have no idea when they'll eat)
4:30, get dressed, slap on makeup, additional D.O. since I'm sure it'll be close quarters in the gymnasium during the graduation ceremony
4:35, nurse andrew, put him down for a nap
4:45, wrap up piano lesson, load up kids in car (all but andrew)
5:15, get to FAHS, unload brady, sit in gym for 45 minutes trying to keep nora and brennan busy
6pm, graduation ceremony
7pm, cake reception
7:15, go to chickfila and pick up two 12pack nuggets - everyone starving and tired and cranky
7:30, brady's tummy hurts, get nora and brennan in jammies, in bed reading books
8pm, put everyone to bed, for the first time
8:05, sit with brady on the potty, tummy hurt=diarrhea, read magic treehouse book to him for 20 minutes while he's on the pot
8:30, put everyone back down for the 2nd or 3rd time
8:45, go outside, catch a couple of lightning bugs for brady, since he was too tired to wake up and catch them himself (and I've been promising to wake him up so he could see them)
9pm stuff my face with 6 cold, leftover chickfila nuggets, chug a glass of water
9:15, realize that andrew is still sleeping from him 4o'clock nap, go make sure he's still breathing. he is.
9:20, hook up cameras and download pics from tonight, and video to send to my parents
9:30, fold laundry, shoved the rest to Mark's side of the bed until tomorrow
10:00, sit down check my email, forward videos now that they're downloaded, create this timeline as a response to a friend's email asking what i did today. ackowledge that yes, i can be a smart-ass.
10:30, realize that i didn't buy teachers gifts. write a note to myself to cut some hydrangeas and bring to school for family lunch tomorrow to give to teachers with a thank you note that I haven't yet written.
10:45, hear someone stirring upstairs, ignore it until the noise gets louder
11:00, go upstairs when the noises don't go away, to find brady awake and complaining of a tummy ache again. he may or may not have thrown up, there was a suspicious but small spot of something on his sheets.
11:15 bring him downstairs, give him some water and set him up on the couch next to me
11:20, go upstairs, strip his bed (still can't confirm the throw up), throw his sheets in the washing machine.
11:25, sit on couch again, next to brady. wonder if he's played with alex the salmonella laden baby dragon lately.
11:26, wonder what kind of sleep i'll get tonight and thank god that mark's coming home tomorrow night.
11:27, post this blog.
