my day today

I was curious to see what I actually accomplish on a "regular" day.  Most days I feel like we don't really get much done around here.  I was pleasantly surprised...

Get up, shower

Emma up, change clothes, check temp--no fever!

Jackson up, change diaper, change clothes

Dry hair

Make his bottle, her breakfast, my coffee

Empty trash

Put Jackson by toys

Start load of rags

Console Jackson bc he escaped and pinched finger in pantry door

Check email, reply to a few, star some for later

Wipe snotty noses

Start tidying front room. 

Read book to Jackson

Get on emma for not being done with breakfast yet. 

Smell pretty flowers on either end of our main floor

straighten unused book bags. 

Put on little house on the prairie season 1--lazy day for the sicky

Snuggle Jackson while he finishes his bottle

Put baby down for a nap. 

Get back to picking up study/living room/kitchen

Go up and rescue jackson.  Cuddle him to sleep. He wakes as soon as I put him down, stands up, and signs all done

Let Jackson cry more, continue cleaning 10 min

Rescue Jackson for good. Put him in study. Notice his signing diaper and all done...sure enough as I got within 10 ft, I could smell why he was all done

Change said diaper

Took remote from Jackson

Took controller from Jackson

Took iPad from Jackson

He begins crouching to look under furniture for things to grab. 

Tell jackson to stop messing with DVD cases at the tv before he gets hurt.

Jackson falls over and hits both the tv stand and floor on the way down

Console hurting baby

Sweep floors

Apologize to Emma and console her for bonking her on head while sweeping

Make lunch

Work on signs with baby..more, please, thank you, all done 

Cuddle Jackson in the rocker and put him down for a nap. 

Sit patiently at the table while Emma talks instead of eating her food.

Empty dryer, towels still wet turned dryer on. 

Empty dryer, Move rags to dryer. 

Pretend to ignore Jackson banging his crib against the wall upstairs

Begin clearing kitchen table and counters. 

Load dishwasher

Switch lamp and bookcase, return things to their shelves

Fix curtain length

Put Emma to bed for a nap, told her to try for 10 more minutes (this usually works). 10 min later, I found her walking around. Back to bed for 10 more minutes

Both kids up

More curtains hung

Treat for the kiddos

Is John home yet?

Pick up kids toys in study

Disc two little house

Take remote, remote, and controller away from Jackson.

Console crazy upset baby

Pack up and meet daddy at chik-fil-a for dinner (under $5 for 3 chicken sandwiches, large fry, choc milk, and a soda!)

Lesson learned:  All the little things I do around here really do add up.  I didn't even do school or anything like that with Emma today since she's been sick, so many days its even more jam-packed!
