A Day in the Life....OF YOU !
Even though we posted what our 'jobs' are, we never really got a good look at what everyone really 'does all day'..
It would be interesting to see, what all of our daily lives are like. What does your job entail ? What daily routines do you have ? Do you like them/hate them ?
Teachers, (which i'm most interested in!) - Jenn and others, what do you teach, what style of teaching do you have ? Is there anything 'special' that you do for your students that they LOVE, anything about you that we dont know ? (LOL thats a funny question because we've just about told it ALL here...![]()
)
EVeryone else, with all the interesting jobs that you do, tell us a little about, A DAY IN YOUR LIFE....
I'll start...
Being a SAHM is ALOT more work than I ever thought it would be..(hey, even staying home WITHOUT a baby is a JOB in itself !)
Right now, my days are not in any routine, since the baby is still young (8weeks)... But I'll try...
Feedings can be every 2-4 hours through the night.
6-7am - I am up for the day. Feed the baby, and then prepare myself a cup of coffee and toast or cereal, or oatmeal...
8-10am - make my bed, jump in the shower to get my day started (ok this one doesnt always fit into the morning routine, sometimes its after DH gets home from work! lol).. If John Anthony is content with sitting in the swing, I may throw in a load of laundry and check some email really quickly..
If he is fussy or giddy, I have fun and cuddle and talk to him for a few hours, and just lay there with him...
11-2pm - IF he takes his 3 hour nap (not routine yet), I can get some cleaning done. If I was up ALOT for feedings, I may just take a nap with him..usually Im woken up by the phone![]()
or just my light sleep, to check on him...
Some days, at this time, I will do a grocery run, and maybe a few other stores nearby..which when lugging a carseat takes a bit longer than I'm used to!
3pm-While I fold laundry, I'll watch Dr. Phil, and get some dinner going..
4pm-While im cooking dinner, watch Oprah or the news (if her topic stinks, lol)...
5-6pm- DH gets home, we eat, I clean up the kitchen, load the dishwasher, maybe throw in another load of laundry...
after this I am usually just doing odds and ends around the house since DH is with the baby...
Oh, and in between all this, are his feedings every 2-3 hours, I am nursing and giving him formula, so depending, if i give him a bottle its 20 minutes or so, if i nurse him (which im trying to do much more of) it can be an hour or more (they 'hang out there' for comfort in addition to eating)...oh and the poopy diapers and sometimes poopy everything, and change him head to toe, and baths about 3 times a week...
Of course this is not my every single day routine, some days are busier and more tiring, and other days are more bumming around (like today!) and watching the snow out my window !
Anyone else wanna chime in and give us a peek at their everyday life ?? (maybe more exciting than mine ?) - just kidding, as much as the isolation can get to me, seeing John Anthonys smile makes it ALL go away ! and I get phone calls from friends, my sister, mom, MIL, and old coworkers very often, so I am thankfully 'socializing' in one way or another...oh and of course you WONDERFUL gals !
