A Day in the Life.....

Tonight, As I get into bed before 8:00, I can barely keep my eyes open. I look back on my day and think how can I do all of that? Really, how can I? I thought it would be fun to "document" the day in the life of a mama (me), for one day.

6:00AM- wake up hearing Olive playing in crib
Get up, pee, put on bra, make bottle.

Olive first thing in the morning

6:45- Bring O to bed to feed bottle
7:15- Take a quick shower while O has daddy time
8:00- More bottle
8:15- Make breakfast, cry about not having any coffee.... prepare O's breakfast
8:30- Eat while feeding O.
9:00 Sit on floor and have O climb on me. Try to check email, fail.

9:30- More bottle (Shes eating small amouts and fussing about it today)

5:30-6 O takes bath with Dad and gets into Pjs
6:00 Feed O solids, let her play
6:30- Bottle, and Bedtime
7:00 put O in crib, Eat dinner, do dishes
8:00 Get in bed. Sore, tired, and wondering how I do this everyday.

Oh, PS- This was our "chill" day.

Im not doing this to complain.

At all. In fact,  tonight as I laid O in her crib I whispered in her ear "Everyday with you is a blessing", which is the honest truth. I do it all, and I love it. Its not easy work at ALL. In fact, sometimes I feel like I'm going nutso, but its amazing work. It's the best job I can think of. Tomorrow I will hear that little voice playing and do it all again, gladly.

I would love to hear all the crazy days YOU all have. I know you all have crazy busy ones too!
