Here’s what I did today…

6AM – Ignored my alarm and hit snooze twice. Checked my email and messages on my phone while hubby took a shower. Got up, brushed teeth, helped the kid get dressed, unloaded the dishwasher and made breakfast.

7AM – Ate breakfast, sent hubby off to his day job. Cleaned the kitchen with the kid. (ie I washed dishes, she made noise)

8AM – Watched Sesame Street. Caught up on Words With Friends.

9AM – Changed all the sheets in the house. Started the wash – did 4 loads today. Folded one load that I will need for an upcoming trip with the kid’s help… (ie I folded it all twice.)

10AM – Played Cooties, played cards, prepared a snack, drank some tea, moved the laundry.

11AM – Discussed the definition of about 1000 words with the kid while I unpacked boxes from our Christmas trip, with her help.

12PM – Ate a fabulous meatball sandwich with the kid that we made together. Ate 4 clementines with her. Read 6 books to her.

1PM – Worked out on my elliptical trainer for 30 minutes and did 15 minutes of yoga while the kid had some “quiet time”. (ie – she took everything she owns out of her drawers in her room)

2PM – Went to the Forest Preserve to run around, throw rocks at the pond (it’s frozen), and feed deer with the kid.

3PM – Snack again! Goldfish and cranberries with milk. (ew?) Took a shower finally while the kid amused herself.

4PM – Computer time with the kid. Counting, reading and shapes! Walked to the train station to pick up hubby.

5PM – Walked home. Handed off the kid. Ate dinner while I worked at my desk. Made lists, returned emails, sorted the mail.

6PM – Wrote 2 blog posts. One for The Local Tourist, one for later on this blog – it still needs some details. Made more lists.

7 PM – Wrote this post. Why? So that I could show what it’s like to be a stay at home mom. And own a business. And be a human being. And love every minute of it.
