My day today:
I woke up at 6:30, took a shower, got the kids up for school, helped them get ready for school, drove them to school. The oldest forgot her sleeping bag (her class is going to an educational camp for a few days). So, I loaded the two year old back into the car, drove him, grabbed the sleeping bag, and took it back to her school. I spoke to her teacher about something concerning the trip, then loaded my 2 year old back in the car and drove back home. At home, I got breakfast for myself and my 2 year old. Then I organized my articles that I need to read and incorporate into the 50 some odd page paper I am working on. Then at 9 I drove my 2 year old to his mother's day out, where he will be till 11 today. This was supposed to give me 2 hours to come home and work on my paper. Instead it is 10 and I just arrived home from the eye doctors, where my mom needed a new nose guard put on. So, now I have an hour for my paper. At 11 I will pick up my little one. (Oh, I forgot about the phone calls this morning to my old Ob GYN, who apparently can not locate my records and I need something for my new Ob GYN. Later I need to call them back and see if they found it.) After getting my little one at 11, I will come home, make lunch, and then put him down for a nap. Then I will get a couple of more hours to work on my paper, unpack boxes from my move (My Goal has been 3 boxes a day.), and work on doing laundry. At 2:55 I pick up my 6 year old from school, bring him home, talk about his day with him, go over his school work, and by 3:30 I have to be back at the school for a parent teacher conference where the teacher will tell me that my son is ready to advance to the next grade this upcoming fall. After that I come home and will make dinner. I am planning on making Stir fry veggies with shrimp and rice. We will eat close to 5, and then is homework time. I sit and listen to my 6 year old read, and then I get him going on his handwriting. That is when I get to go do the dishes and give my 2 year old a bath. When my 6 year old finishes his homework, then he takes a bath. Then I get some time to "work" on things I need to do until it is bed time. The boys will play until then. At 7:30 we brush our teeth, and I read them from the Bible story book. Tonight we are beginning volume 2. At 8 they go to bed. Usually at 8 is when I start folding all the laundry that I have washed for the day.... which I am doing laundry today so tonight I will be folding. I will watch one tv show while I fold, and at 9 I will go up to my room with my dozens of articles and read. I will read from about 9 - 10, so that tomorrow I will have things to incorporate into my paper. To give you an idea of how much reading is involved in writing this paper, I have already gone through 2 packs of 500 sheets in my printer and used6 ink cartridges for printing the articles. I don't end up using everything that I must read. This paper is about 50 pages and I have a total of 4 weeks to write it in...... although, over 1 week has already passed. And I am on page 5.
(Most of the first week was spent on research, printing, and reading.)
So, at 10 I go to sleep.....and I'm up every couple of hours because of being this pregnant..... and tomorrow I will get up at 6:30 am again and start the day over. Only no mother's day out tomorrow, so the day changes some.
Okay, now I wasted all this time writing about my day and so I have only 40 minutes now to work on writing my paper.
