A Week in the Life: Tuesday

6:30-Camryn wakes up and the day begins. She slept great last night! She needed her paci at about 3:00 a.m, but that was it.

6:50: Make lunches. Mac and cheese, ritz peanut butter crackers, cheese stick, a fruit cup and apple juice for Connor. Peanut Butter and jelly (no crust), pretzels, raisins, cheese stick, fruit cup, and a juice box for Logan.

7:00: Wake up Connor. He is sleeping so hard this morning.

7:10: Connor wanders out and seems to be in a happy mood. Get him some breakfast (2 peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins and a glass of milk). Go get myself dressed.

7:15: Back in the kitchen, I find a puddle of water on the floor. Turns out Ike did more than just shingle damage to our roof, and we officially have a leak. Derek spends the next 30 minutes finding it in the attic, setting up buckets, etc.

7:20: Sit down with my cinnamon oatmeal and coffee.

7:50: Derek and Connor leave. D takes C to school this morning on his way to work, and I go finish getting ready.

8:00: Cami goes down for a nap.

8:15: Logan wakes up. He does not normally sleep in this late! He watches Dora while he eats breakfast (a muffin) and gets ready for school.

8:45: Take Logan to school. I send Camryn off with my friend Laura, and I head to Connor’s school. I volunteered in his class today. All I can say is I don’t think at this point in my life I could handle being a teacher! It was fun to see the class in action, but i was worn out after only an hour!

11:00: Leave the school and head straight to HEB for groceries.

12:00: Quickly put away cold stuff and head out to Laura’s house to pick up Camryn. Talk to Suzanne on the way.

1:00: After visiting with Laura for awhile, head back home. At this point, I’ve spent at least an hour in the car.

1:15: Feed Camryn. Read email and blogs.

1:40: Time to pick up Logan. Stop at Sonic on the way home. It’s been such a busy morning that I haven’t eaten lunch yet so I get mozzarella sticks to go with my diet vanilla dr. pepper. Chocolate milk for Logan, and a small popcorn chicken for us to share.

2:20: Back at home. Camryn goes down for a nap, Logan’s relaxes on my bed watching Little Bill, and I half watch Dawson’s Creek while eating my snack and browsing the internet.

2:50: Finish putting away groceries from this morning.

Late Afternoon: It’s always a blur. Connor arrives home at 3:15. Connor works on projects, he and Logan play outside (it’s wet and muddy so Logan is in and out needing new clothes every 5 minutes.  He hates to have on wet clothes.) I put away laundry, throw in another load, talk to Connor’s room mom about the upcoming Thanksgiving feast, and browse on my computer for a bit.

5:00: Camryn wakes up. Eats. I realize that I’m going to be hard pressed to get dinner on the table before I have to leave at 6:00 for Logan’s open house at school.  Logan comes inside covered in mud so he goes straight to the bath tub.

5:20: Quickly make dinner.

5:35: Remember that Logan is still in the tub.  I am excited to find that he washed himself and had been happily playing.

5:45: I sit down to eat Spaghetti Al Limon and french bread. I had every intention of making a salad, but it just didn’t happen.

5:55: Derek and boys sit down to eat. I’m done and get Cam to change her diaper before I go, only to realize she has had a major blowout. Give her a quick bath.

6:05: Kiss the fam, and I’m off.

7:30: Home from the open house. I got to see some cute pictures and a cute video of Logan’s class at school. He loves his teachers and his class and is having a great year. I feed Camryn.

8:15: All is quiet.

Evening plans: internet time, catching up on a few tivoed shows, and bed.
