Describe a typical day in your current life.
There is “typical” day in my life so I will just tell you what I did
today and how that correlates to my normal.
Brandon woke me up this morning at 5 a.m. and sweetly asked on his way
out the door to work if I had remembered to pack his lunch for work. And honestly,
I almost never forget, but I forgot last night. I offered to get up and pack
him one but he let me sleep and so I snoozed until 6:30. For whatever reason my
mind likes to turn on exactly ten minutes before my alarm goes off which drives
me crazy, but alas. I laid there for the sweet and precious moments until 6:40
rolled around and I had to get out of bed.
Ezra, who had been waiting
patiently for who knows how long popped his little head out of his room and
asked if he was allowed to get up yet. Since Brandon had already left for work
I told him to go get in my bed and we could cuddle.
At about 6:55 I opened the door for Anna and her mother. Anna is the
little girl I watch. She is fabulous at going to back to sleep so I laid her
down and crawled back into bed with Ezra. Instead of falling back asleep like I
had hoped he giggled and played for about twenty minutes before I gave in and
told him he could go watch some cartoons until his brother woke up.
At this point in my morning I stole fifteen minutes of quiet, read
Titus, and said a quick version of my daily prayers because I could hear that
Elisha was also up.
With Anna still snoozing in the pack and play and Elisha and Ezra
munching on grapes and watching Veggie Tales I hoped in the shower.
I spent the next hour and a half making breakfast for three hungry
children and one sweet little old lady, getting dressed, trying unsuccessfully to
pick up the house.
We left the house at 9:30, (it was supposed to be 9:15) and ran to
Target. I had to pick up a few things for our small group brunch and grab a
card for my wonderful friend Angie who recently adopted a beautiful little
girl.
(Now, obviously I don’t have small group every morning but between
homeschool groups, curriculum group at church, and a few other things we almost
have something have morning.)
I had a fabulous time catching up with the girls from my small group and
all the littles played wonderfully.
We left around lunch time, made a quick trip to the gas station and post
office and headed home. Since I knew that Brandon would home about 2 we waited
and had lunch with him.
While we were waiting Elisha and I worked on reading while Ezra read his
novel. (Let me just steal this moment and brag on my baby, who is now reading
at least one 100+ page book a week!)
When Brandon got home we had lunch together and then left to go pick up
my nephew Zephaniah who is going to hang out with us for a few days.
Usually we do homeschool or swimming or some sort of activity during the
afternoons but today we just chilled and played with Zephaniah and Anna. It’s a
real treat to have the baby here so we just kind of kicked back and relaxed.
At 6:40 Anna’s mother came to pick her up. I fed Zephaniah dinner,
jumped on the computer to do this really quick and now I have to feed the rest
of the family.
After dinner the boys will shower, get ready for bed, Brandon will read
them a story while I try to make sense
of my house that never really got clean this morning and then I will have some
alone time with my sweet husband.
