A Week in the Life, Day 1

by Anne


BUCKLE UP KIDS ITS GONNA BE A WILD RIDE!!!

Here I shall take you on Day 1 of my OH SO EXCITING FAST-PACED LIFE


Day 1.


10:15 - The To-Do List


I awoke around 9:00 and messed around on the laptop for about an hour before heading downstairs to find a patented Mom To-Do List. On the list? Give the dog his anti-biotic, wrapped in cheese, of course:




This To-Do list is not nearly so involved as the ones from when I was, say, 13, but still, I instantly felt like a teenager all over again. Aw, Moms.



2:45 - At the Bank with Jimmy


We had to stop at the bank to kill time while waiting for his sister to get home from school. Jimmy finished with school on Friday, Ellie's last day is Tuesday.




The bank is at the end of my street, our neighbor (in the red) is a hockey fanatic, and the usual afternoon game of street hockey was going on in the parking lot. See! Hockey! In a hockey blog! Woop!



3:45 - At Wegman's with Jimmy and Ellie


Saturday, Jimmy and I decided to make dinner on Monday, and as he and his sister are a packaged deal, she came along as well.



6:30 - Dinner is served.


We made dinner for my parents and Jimmy and Ellie's Mom. Dinner was turkey burgers, pasta salad and tossed salad and homemade chocolate chip cookies.



9:00-After dinner I attempted to restore my computer to health, with no success. It's off to the genius bar tomorrow with you, Isaac.



10:30 - And I finished the day the way I started it: giving Nicholas his evening pill



PHEW! What a WHIRLWIND day. Ok, I will admit being ontop of making dinner and instructing a 9 year old and a 10 year old and keeping them involved in cooking is rather tiring. Tomorrow I go to work, then teach then the Apple store to fix my sicky laptop :(

It's sure to be 10,000,000,000x more exciting than today..... ?

For MK:

It's ALMOST taking a nap together...?

    Hey, it's 10,000,000,000x more exciting than my life, where yesterday I slept, put heat packs on my sore muscles, and spent way too much money on makeup. At least your day involved productive things (and hockey!) haha
