Good morning - 3:50am and I'm in the kitchen
Nope, didn't wait for the pot to finish before pouring the first cup
Checking in on amitymama (and after that Facebook lol)
4:20 time to workout - p90X cardio
Very unattractive, but you asked for reality, so heres me warming up
and working out - oiy, can't believe I'm posting this shot
My boys
Ok, good enough - its just work ya know?
My Zoey
out to the living room - Linds, you awake? (editing for those who asked, Lindsey aka Nienie is Chelseys bff since they were 8. She's lived with us since the carport got enclosed. Good kid. My other kid lol)
In the car... lets get this party started lol
Oops, better stop for gas.
Dropping Lindsey at the daycare where she works at 6am
Off to work for me
Walking from the parking garage to the building
There it is. My building
Up to the 19th floor
My cubicle awaits lol
Yah, I might need to top off my coffee. Put my lunch in the fridge while I'm at it.
Ok - this is me working. Imagine this for the next 9 hours
Break for breakfast. This is also usually when I call home to make sure my family are up, brushed, dressed, fed and ready for school. Tell my kids I love them and to have a great day!
Morning Leah. Morning Darnell
By 8:30 Anna and I need our regularly scheduled break. No flames , I'm down to 5 a day.
Taking a break from work to check in on amitys and eat granola
The view
Lunch - the infamous taco less taco salad
Heres me on the phone - I talk to the kids at 2:45 pm when they get home from school. I do talk to Tom throughout the day too.
Hi Marie. Thats Mzzzzz A$$hole to you
Is it time to go home YET?
Down to the lobby - finally 3:45
Theres the hyundai. I have such class
Driving out of the parking garage I call home to let Tom know I'm on my way.
Not safe to take a pic driving, but is ooooookay. Theres my exit. Thunderbird Road.
Ah.... home
no Karate today - he's out like a light
The pups welcome me home. Princess on my lap and Cocoa at my feet
I'm home gang!
Kisses for Chelsey and Miss Alea
Theres the handsome hubby - bringing in dinner from the rotissiere
Hanging out chatting in the kitchen. Chels won a tee tree product at school
Zoey showing everyone Princess's mohawk. Nice job Chels and Linds lol. Poor princess is traumatized.
Ah... settling down for a visit with Alea. Its good to be home.
Zoeys book order form
Taking a quick break to play my scrabble games on FB
and then its homework time. Doesn't she look absolutely thrilled?
Alea crawling around
Stopping in at yoville for a moment while the kids finish their homework.
Dinner - spinach salad
Dinner time for Alea. Chels , she really doesn't like bagels
She prefers noodles!
Gramma feeding Alea
Ok, time for Chels to get going
All ready for school.
Thats her head lol
While Tom drives Chels up to school I'd better deal with this kitchen
Much better.
Alea running in circles while I cleaned up
Crud, I better get the music list up so I can get my sheets in the right order
Packing up lunch for tomorrow
Crud, I pulled up the web page, but never put my music in order, I'd better get on that.
Visiting with my hubby and the dogs a bit.
Diaper change for gramma. Yes, its a disposable. Roman wanted to help, but then realized she'd poo'd and said 'never mind, you take care of that k?'
Pick out clothes for tomorrow, too hard to think at 5:30am so always do it the night before
Snuggle time with my boy. Told me all about how weird his mouth feels with his first tooth missing. The reason he's not in earlier pics? Fell asleep - still naps sometimes, even missed karate!
Time for grampa and Aleas nightly stroller ride around the block
and mom gets to rehearsal. 6:30pm on Thursday nights.
Yes, that would be me
I love rehearsals , it actually is one of the major highlights of my week.
Lovin' on the worship team - this is Carrie - soprano and paper writer extraordinaire
and this is Erica, soprano and acknowledger of cute shoes
Rob , who rightfully gets a bit annoyed when we are referred to as "the girls" instead of "the choir"
Kristen - tenor and writer of "earholes" on my music
Whitney- alto and new kid on the block
Stop taking pictures so we can rehearse!
Greg on drugs, I mean drums and Ryan - bass player and cute hubby to Kristen
Mike - youth pastor , guitar player and all around funny guy
Ok, no close up of Brandon? How did I mess that up? He's our worship director. But this is what Mike sees from the back of the room
Home- 8:30pm - Zoey is annoyed because Roman is writing a letter in HER notebook instead of his own.
Hi Honey, I'm home.
Hanging out with the crew
Getting ready for bed
Tom took this and insisted I post it cuz I'm oh so sexy in my nightgown (with no makeup after what a 16 hour day? lol
Ok, thats it. Stick a fork in me, I"m done.
Snuzzle, say our prayers and hit the pillow so we can do it again tomorrow
