A Day In The Life

Sometimes I get so sick of people asking if I have a job or if I work. Yes! I have lots of jobs: laundry, dishes, kissing boo-boos, giving baths, paying bills, planning activities, and the list goes on. You mamas out there know what I am talking about. Here is what I did yesterday just so you get a glimpse of what I do every day.
7:15 am Get up and exercise for about 20 minutes. I know there is no time for the gym today.
7:45 am Get the boys up, eat breakfast, get in shower.
8:30 am Get the boys dressed and make them look semi-respectable.
8:40 am Throw load of clothes in the washer.
9:00 am Drop Collin off at Stake Primary activity.
9:15 am Quick stop at Albertson's to get some free ice cream with double coupons.
10:15 am Pick Collin up from Primary activity.
10:30 am Meet friends at Library for story time. First time we have been at this library and the kids loved it!
11:45 am Go home to grab a quick lunch. Move clothes to dryer.
12:30 pm Go to my sister's house to babysit.
3:00 pm Collin has tumbling. Run him inside while 3 kids 3 and under wait/fight in the car.
3:50 pm Leave to go pick up Collin
3:55 pm Stuck at light 2 block from tumbling. Completely blocked and cannot move due to construction at intersection. Kids are of course perfect angels in the back seat....ha!
4:05 pm Finally pick up Collin and make him feel better. His feelings were hurt because I was late.
4:30 pm Fix afternoon snacks so no one DIES of starvation.
5:30 pm Get dinner ready for the girls.
6:20 pm Leave their house to run home and change into pjs.
6:30 pm Clean up puke off the bathroom floor.
6:35 pm Leave the house FINALLY to go pick up Darrell at the airport.
6:40 pm Snag some McDonalds. Discover Collin is asleep before the food arrives. (Totally recommend the Honey Mustard Snack Wrap.) Realize I am out of gas!
6:45 pm Put a few gallons of gas in really fast so that I can hurry. Already behind!
6:50 pm FINALLY leave town.
7:05 pm Darrell texts me that he has just landed. Oh good Honey, we will be there in at least 20 minutes!! Sorry, babe!
7:30 pm Pick up Darrell!! Yay! The hubby is home!
8:15 pm Get home. Put the boys in bed! Phew!
9:15 pm Eat that free ice cream from Albies! Yummy! Worth every cent. :)
9:30 pm Watch Man vs. Wild with Darrell. Special episode with Will Farrell. Pretty funny.
10:15 pm Crash in bed. ZZZzzzzzzzz
All in a days work. Three poopy diapers, one of each from the three little ones, boogers from Brody (the kid is always picking his nose), spilled water on the floor in the kitchen, and bugs, lots of bugs collected are just a few things we did all afternoon. Never a dull moment. So if you don't have a job, what do you do all day?
