And to think....I only "work" 3 days a week!

So, my day off yesterday went a little something like this....

6:30 am--My alarm goes off. Are you kidding me? 5 more minutes please! Reset my alarm for 6:35am.
6:35am--My alarm goes off again. Don't want to get up! 5 more minutes please! Reset my alarm for 6:40am.
6:40 am--My alarm goes off for the third time. Okay! Better get up. Go upstairs to wake the girls up. They don't want to get up. So, I have to think of an angle. Something I can say to get them to consciousness so they can start getting dressed. Chloe, don't you want to go to school and show all your friends your new haircut? Taya, don't you have to pass out your invitations to your Halloween party today? Struggle, struggle. After 15 minutes the girls finally get up amidst many complaints.
6:55 am--while the girls are getting dressed, I realized I needed to put more money in their lunch accounts so they won't be eating peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. Run down to the computer and add some more money on-line.
7:00 am--back upstairs. Girls? Are you getting ready? Did you brush your hair and your teeth? What do you want for breakfast? Make the girls breakfast. Ask them 10 more questions to make sure they have everything they need for school. Brush my teeth really well because I have a dentist appointment. Feed the dog and give the dog fresh water. Make sure the TV is off and away we go.
7:30 am--leave for school. Drop Chloe off and then go to the middle school to drop Taya off.
8:00 am--Dentist appointment. Just the way you want to start a Monday morning; at the dentist? As I'm just sitting down in the dentist chair. Get a text from Nay. Want to go to the gym? Sure, be there as soon as I'm done.
9:00 am--get to the gym. Some time on the treadmill. Lift some weights. Wow! I'm tired!
11:00 am--head over to Crafts Direct. Taya has a huge science project due Wednesday. She has to make a model of a Magnesium atom. Corey told Taya to show her empty hand to her teacher and tell him that she built her atomic model to scale! Well, I don't think that will work, so searching for styrofoam balls, paints, wires and fishing lines to make this model. Oh no! I have to make the girls a dance poster for their dance competitions coming up. Look in the scrapbooking sections for some dance stickers and other cool stuff for a poster.
12:15 pm--Meet my dad for lunch at Wendy's.
12:50 pm--On my way to Target because I need to get groceries for the week. Brought my camera so I could develop some dance pictures of the girls to use for their poster.
2:10 pm--Drive over to Chloe's school to pick her up.
2:30 pm--get home. Unload groceries and all my goodies from Crafts Direct. Wash dishes. Start the dishwasher. Sort and start some laundry so the girls have jeans to wear to school tomorrow. Chloe wants to make Halloween cookies so start preheating the oven.
3:34 pm--Taya gets dropped off by the bus. Corey gets home from work. The oven is finally preheated so we have just enough time to bake the cookies.
4:10 pm--have to run around the neighborhood locating Chloe so we can leave for piano lessons.
4:30 pm--Chloe has piano lessons and then Taya.
5:45 pm--Stop at Coborn's quick on the way home to pick up our special low-carb pasta that only Coborn's sells so we can make sphagetti tonight. Taya decides to stay in the van so I lock it and leave it running. As Chloe and I are walking into Coborn's, Taya comes running up behind up because she decided to join us in the store. Except!!! She got out of the van, locked all the doors, and left it running. Try to call Corey. He's not answering. Call my dad who calls a locksmith. 35 dollars please! Oh crap! Then some nice guy in the parking lot comes up to me and says he can open my door for me. He owns a cab and they open cars for people that are locked out. Thank you so much kind stranger! All I have on me is my debit card! Oh don't worry! I'm not going to charge you! Seriously, the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long time!!!
6:30 pm--With sphagetti in hand, arrive home. Start making dinner. Switch the laundry.
6:45 pm--eat dinner. Start working on Taya's science project. Shoving floral wire through styrofoam balls to connect protons and neutrons into the nucleous of the atom. Wire rings for the electron shells. Work on Taya's project for about 2 hours.
8:00 pm--Okay Chloe. Do you have homework? Girls get your pajamas on. Brush your teeth. Twenty reminders later the girls are finally in jammies. Wait! I have to finish decorating my Halloween invitations before school tomorrow Taya says! Chloe is mad because Taya won't let her help decorate. Find a compromise. Teeth brushed. Read books.
9:15 pm--Girls are finally in bed. Settle in to watch a few episodes of True Blood with the hubby.
11:00 pm--Switch a load of laundry and finally, finally bed! 

What a relaxing day off!

Ready to do it all again tomrrow....
