Gosh! Can't believe its been almost 4 weeks since I've posted an update. I was going to blame it on us being so busy, but I think I've finally come the realization that we are ALWAYS busy and that the exception is when we don't have anything to do. Every weekend from mid-August to October is busy. And now that school started is even more jammed.
Our weekday schedule goes something like this:
530: Alarm goes off - Will and Andrea moving around.
620: wake the kids up. this is no small feat. some mornings there is a lot of whining about being tired (owen) or flat out yelling to "go away" (jack). they eventually make their way downstairs for bfast.
730: leave for school. dad takes owen, mom takes jack.
8-5: work for mom. owen gets out of school at 310 and then goes to afterschool program. he works on his homework there and i check it in the evenings.
5-6: commute, pick up the kids, arrive home. i'm lucky that the job is so close. i can't imagine if i had a "real atlanta commute."
6-8: make dinner, play with kids, get the ready for bed. no fancy dinner - it takes too long. i figure as long as its healthy, the real point is to spend time together. bath only every other night.
8 strict bedtime. otherwise everyone is a crabby mess the next day. they are both usually asleep within minutes of hitting the sack.
8-10 domestic duties and sometimes some downtime with Will on the front porch,
add on top of that that we usually have at least 2 nights during the week that we juggle other things. for example, this week it was a sunday school meeting on monday, school open house on tuesday, and a funeral visitation on wednesday.
and people wonder why we don't miss cable tv....
