so i was chatting texting with my BFF, Nina, tonight and it got me thinking....how do you all juggle your time and still have time for life?
since starting school, here is my schedule:
5 am - wake up, do some homework (with my friend, coffee, of course)
6 am - Make lunches; get breakfast ready
615 - wake up the girls
645 - OUT the door
730 - E at school
8-12 - Mom at school
1230/1 - Pick up T; T naps, Mom does HW/cleans the house/does laundry/gets dinner together
3/330 - pick up E; any errands that HAVE to be done; head home
4/430 - cook dinner
530 - kids in the tub; relax time; read a book
7/730 - T is in bed; E is doing her "birthday fairy" list (more on that later)
8/830 - E in bed (this is a process...T LOVES to sleep; E not so much)
830 and on - Mom does homework; cleans up the house; checks her email; sits; i sit down
somewhere between 1130-1ish - Mom goes to bed; or at least I try to shut off my brain
along the lines, somewhere in there, I also shower and eat but i really just survive off of Lemon Luna Bars and coffee; lots of coffee.
I also plan my dinners for the month and eat leftovers for lunch if I remember, otherwise the hubs eats them :-). oh and the groceries get shopped for haha
so where does life happen? Emma turns 4 in September...lots to do and I know it's going to come REALLY FAST. She starts soccer, ballet/tap, and gymnastics...she's getting so big :-(
No, i have not been watching the Olympics even though, with my schedule i've accrued, i'm sure i could catch them LIVE haha
My life is consumed with Mad Men and Advertising Blogs, websites, campaigns, etc which is super fantastical because i find it all AMAZING. but seriously, don't ask me about what's going on in the world right now, what headline was posted, what the new upcoming Facebook (i don't have one except for this page)...i am not connected except to school and the advertising world.
My brother is also getting married in September so lots of family and good times to be had will be coming up...after finals of course and then 1 week off...WOO
anyways...i'm trying to get organized as well but school leaves little time for the extra stuff like:
my garage is a DISASTER...i know what i want done it's just getting it done...the hubs is gone and when he gets back, he will start school also...so yeah
i have taken over the kitchen table because i don't have a desk...i need a workspace...
and of course the un-loved, un-touched backyard and front patio...so neglected but, now, they'll have to wait, again, until next spring
my weekends are FLYING by and i feel like i'm missing life instead of living it...i know i'm gaining the experience and degree to LIVE life to it's absolute FULLEST and it's only 3 short years away so i'm staying focused and, sort of, organized....that i'm working on...in my spare time hahahahaha
ok rant over....i'm super glad i have this to go to...i've done some projects, cooked some really yummy food, I'm getting E organized which is sooooooo awesome, so now i just need an assistant or a CLONE!!!! A CLONE WOULD BE PERFECT hahahaha
I hope everyone had a good start to the week...now we have Hump Day!!! LET'S DO IT!!!!
