Do you ever wonder what I do all day? I eat all day and watch tv! Yeah, right. If only my job were that easy.
This is what I do:
Get up and shower. Wake Jade for school and do my best to keep her motivated.
Make Jade's lunch.
Check email.
Make Jade breakfast.
Make other wonderful children who visit my home breakfast and send Jade off to school.
Tell Abby 3 times to get dressed, brush teeth and comb hair.
Tell Abby again to comb her hair!
Talk with kids, get Maddison dressed.
Curl my hair!
Tell potty trainer to go potty. Get toddler out of bathroom who also went into the bathroom.
Check a blog or post on mine if time. Maybe email the Little Sis!
Tell at least one child they aren't supposed to be doing what they are doing (like hitting or jumping on the couch or throwing toys).
This all happens before 9:02am.
Answer phone at 9:02 when hubby calls.
After short phone call that really had no point- we start to clean up toys (this can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes)!
Start our circle time and daily project, sing songs.
Diaper time!! Oh the best part of my job!!
More play time and run around after toddler who likes to go get shoes and bring them to the living room.
Remind potty trainer to go potty. Assist child when needed.
Think about lunch time and ask kid what they want (they always say spaghetti, pizza or mac & cheese)
Go outside when we can- weather permitting, otherwise play inside
10:30 preschool days start lunch, 10:45 other days start lunch
11:00 eat lunch!
Send kids to preschool at 11:30 and 11:45!
Get nap time cots out for other kids.
Check diapers again!! Send potty trainer to the bathroom.
Lay kids down at noon! Turn tv on to channel 11 (soap opera time- why else would nap be at noon)!
Sweep floor.
Do some dishes and watch m soap opera.
If Abby is home remind her its time to be quiet so kids sleep.
Take some time to maybe clean bathroom, mop floor or check computer stuff, record some food program information, think about working on daycare taxes (hate taxes think about it ever day that I need to start for the year but end up waiting until the last minute).
Finish dishes (oh yeah, did I tell you I DO NOT have a dishwasher).
Ding around until 2pm... older child or two usually wake up, Abby is already bugging for snack.
2:20pm Hubby comes home and loudly shuts door so kids wake up!
Diapers again!! Love them!! Send others to bathroom one at a time and wash hands.
3:05pm Snack time! Jade and preschoolers are back.
After snack we play inside some. Jade usually starts homework.
4:00pm Send potty trainer to the bathroom again and then outside time if we can otherwise play inside.
4:30pm check diapers for usually the last time unless something gets stinky!
4:45-5:30 kids start going home.
Wow are you tired! I am.
