October 22, 2012

3:25 a.m.
Wake up to husband's alarm going off. I hate Mondays.

4:15 a.m.
Wake up to crying monster. Go in, rub her back, cover her up. Go back to doze.

4:35 a.m.
Not having it. Bring monster in bed with me and drift back to sleep. yay.

5:31 a.m.
Alarm goes off. Snooze. Snooze. Snooze.

5:58-6:34 a.m.
Decide to drag myself out of bed and get dressed/ready for work. Monster sleeps in my bed. I'm jealous. Make lunch/breakfast for myself. Monster will eat at granpat's house. and COFFEE. thank god for coffee. Get monster ready to go and leave for the day.

6:35-7:00 a.m.
Drop off monster at Granpat's house. "commute" to work. Smells like pizza. Love it when the bagel shop makes these bagels, garlic ones? Wait for the elevator. Log in.

7:00-1:00
work. chat with coworkers.work. eat snacks. work. check email and blogs. work.

1:30
Take monster to clinic.

2:15
leave clinic. Monster falls asleep in the car. Thankgod! Leave her in her car seat at home and get supper ready to be cooked. eat a snack, doritos, apple, and peanut butter bread cuz that's how i roll.

2:55-4:15
Husband gets home. Monster wakes up and plays with her daddy for awhile. I play on my phone. Husband goes to do homework. monster falls back asleep on me. Need to get this kid to sleep in her bed! Anyone have any tips for babies who don't sleep in their beds well???

4:30-6:00
Supper for monster. Make/eat supper. Watch cat chase bugs. Solo trip to Target. bliss. so much faster alone!

6:15-8:00
Watch TV, have a treat, play with monster. Husband does homework and then puts monster to bed so I can watch my show (How I Met Your Mother). Bummed and confused when a rerun of Big Bang is on instead... is it Thursday? watch random shows and play on my phone/with cat.

8:01-9:15
Get supper ready for the crockpot for tomorrow. Get ready for bed. Read a little.

9:20
Monster cries out. Check on her. rock her and put her back to bed. Repeat many times throughout the night.

9:30
Lights out and sleep while husband does homework next to me. Cuz, I'm old.

day in the life -- saturday august 11

5:21 -- Wake up to CRASH!! WTF? I don't really care and go back to sleep. Darn cats.

6:44 -- Am I hearing things? Nope, monster is awake and I have to pee. Then I wake up husband and go back to sleep.

7:09 -- Alarm goes off, I hit the snooze button and pull covers back over my head.

7:18 -- Actually get up and get dressed.

7:35 -- Leave for meeting. What a gorgeous morning!

8:45 -- Get home from meeting and eat breakfast.

9:15 -- Put monster down for nap, she fights it and makes mucho noise/cries/squawks for half an hour then sleeps. I use the time to blog surf, online shop, and find a recipe for flan (husband wants flan for his birthday, yuck, and being the good wife that I am, I promised to make him some even though I can't stand it). He plays some video games.

10:30 -- Monster wakes up, so I get her, change her, and feed her a bottle.

love little baby socks!!

11:15 -- We get ready to leave the house and hit up caribou, go shopping, and then go have lunch.

1:45 -- Come back home and monster has another nap. The girl won't quit, she's talking to herself for a while and then all is quiet. Husband and I relax on the couch. Then he goes for a motorcycle ride, the cats and monster nap, I play on the Internet and work on this post.

3:34 -- Small cries come from the monitor, someone must be awake and lonesome! I go up to change her and then husband gets home from his ride. He gives monster a bottle and we settle in on the couch to watch some Californication.

To our beautiful daughter, our black president, and my magnificent dong. Cheers!

4:45 -- Husband starts the grill and goes off to the store to pick up some things we forgot for dinner. and he ever so nicely brings home snacks for tonight :) We eat dinner, I feed monster some dinner (which she hardly enjoys), and then we settle in for an evening that includes:
