A day in the life-Wednesday

Here it is! Try not to be too bored by my super long post! And just for the record, this is not our typical Wednesday. Our church doesn’t have Wednesday night activities during the summer! Otherwise we would be at church from 5-8:30pm!

I had my alarm set for 5:30am so that I could get up early and fix my hair cute. When 5:30am rolled around, I decided I would much rather have 30 minutes of sleep than cute hair for the day. So I reset my alarm for 6:00am.

I finally got up at 6am and got ready for the day. At 6:20am, I went in the kitchen and fixed Noah some milk and a waffle. Then I went to get him up out of bed. He didn’t want to get up until I reminded him that there was a waffle waiting for him. :) I sat him in his highchair with breakfast and put on an episode of Little Bill so that I could finish getting ready. I let Bella outside, and packed Noah’s lunch and bag for the day. At 6:40am, I dressed Noah and brushed his hair. He insisted on brushing his teeth WITH toothpaste. :) We woke Daddy up for bye-bye kisses and loaded up in the car. We hit the road at 6:50am.

7:00am I dropped Noah off at my friend Robin’s house. Daycare is closed for the week. He LOVES Robin and as we were in her driveway, Noah kept saying he wanted to go for a ride in the buggy (stroller). Once we got inside, he changed his mind and decided he needed to eat breakfast again. I gave him kisses and headed to work.

7:15am I’m at work and cherishing my 45 minutes of alone time that I get a day. I drank my morning Mountain Dew, balanced my checkbook, did my daily Bible study and prepared for the work day ahead.

8:00-10:00am I rode around with my helper, Laura, and we checked on a few jobs/workers to make sure things were going as planned, and we knocked on a few doors for tenants that owe rent.

10:00am- My sister and I had to interview a potential maintenance person. Fun times.

10:30am-The current maintenance man calls and needs to go to Lowe’s. I walk outside and see a nail in my tire. Fabulous! So I drop the car off at the tire place and April takes me to Lowe’s. We get back to the office and have a company meeting with our Dad.

11:00am-Lunchtime!! We ate at our new favorite spot-Taziki’s. It was yummy, as expected. Afterwards, we made a quick stop in Kirkland’s and picked up a couple of cupcakes at GiGi’s. Then the tire place called and said my car was ready so April dropped me off to pick it up.

I got back to the office around 12:20ish and worked on some paperwork until 2pm when I had to go meet a subcontractor at a vacant rental house. We met, discussed some things about the house, then I headed back to the office and arrived around 3pm. I did MORE paperwork until 4:45pm when we all left work for the day!

I had to run an errand before heading home so I didn’t get home until 5:15pm. I walked in the door and gave everyone kisses. (Brad gets off work before me, so he picked up Noah.) I heated up some leftover spaghetti and baked some bread, then cut up some grapes for Noah to eat along with his spaghetti. We sat down for dinner around 5:30pm. Noah was not a huge fan of the spaghetti but he at least tried it and ate a few bites. He devoured his grapes and bread! Brad and I talked about our day and we finished eating around 5:50pm.

Then Noah, Bella and I went for a walk around the neighborhood while Daddy cut the grass! We got back home around 6:20pm…just in time to put jammies on before the Wheel! We watched Wheel of Fortune for a bit, then we played…

read some books…

and watched Daddy cut the grass…

until 7:00pm. Then it was bedtime for Noah! We laid him down then I decided I needed to bake some cookies! As I was doing that, Brad went over his Publix receipt with me, telling me what allllllll he bought with his coupons! :)

At 8:00pm, we got in bed and watched the new episode of Teen Mom (don’t hate)! I tried my very best to stay awake and watch the next show that came on at 9pm, but by 9:15pm, I was out!

So there you go! A typical day in my life! I hope you enjoyed it and two gold stars for you if you are still reading!
