(A glimpse into a Friday for anyone who has asked or
just wondered what it’s like to be me. Lol. That is probably zero people. But
anyway…)
6AM- Wake up to a baby fussing for the 3rd or 4th
time. Figure out who it is…Georgia again. Shove Tony and tell him we need some
bottles. Feed Georgia and take a shower.
7AM- Get dressed. Tony can’t get Olive to take her bottle,
so get undressed to try and feed her (they are allergic to clean clothes). She
refuses her bottle, which makes 3 missed bottles due to an earache. Attempt to squirt milk in her mouth with a
medicine dropper as she throws her head back and fourth and squirms all over
the bed.
8AM- Get redressed, make coffee, leave for work. Listen to
the Old School Rap Pandora station to get pumped for the day (Sorry guys,
Christian radio just doesn’t get me going).
9AM- Check agendas, collect field trip money, write notes to
parents about field trip money, try to convince boys to go on the field trip
(ballet), collect money for hat day, collect homework, hear the story about a
candy bar was found in the pocket of a new coat, hear about someone’s Christmas
wish for a Sugar Bear for the 18th time, hear many other stories,
take attendance.
The work day pretty much continues on like this until 3:30,
just add in the teaching part, an assembly, a melt down (not me), and a 3
second lunch.
4PM-Finish grading tests and cleaning up my classroom. Drive
home while making a parent phone call. Run in house to pee and wash hands as
fast as possible, then squeeze babies.
5PM- Feed babies sweet potatoes (one of their faves).
Attempt sippy cups. No go. Recover with bottles. Play and realize neither baby
really need my help sitting anymore. Take lots of pictures.
6PM- Put babies in swings for a nap. Upload pictures. [Side
note: I know I post a lot of pictures. It’s because that is how our family gets
to see the girls. I remember when Dylan and Kody were little and lived far away
and we would be shocked by how big they were every time we got to see them. And
Makenna will be three next month and I still think, “I missed everything!” when
I see her. And some of Tony’s family have still yet to meet the girls. I want
our families to know what’s going on and see the girls all the time!]
7PM- Babies wake up from nap and play for a while, but would
rather be held. Since I missed my opportunity during naptime for dinner, I eat
some beef jerky while holding Georgia, no Olive, no…. holding someone.
8PM- Feed babies some cereal with peach yogurt (their new
absolute favorite- Well, they seem to love all food. They are my kids!) Get
babies ready for bed, No bath tonight- their dry little baby eczema skin can’t
handle a bath every day, and my back can’t either. Lather up with lotion and dress for bed. One
of the few things that both girls HATE is putting their arms through sleeves!
Yikes.
9PM- Put babies to bed. Attempt to leave the room and watch
TV. No go. Just go to bed too. Continue to put paci back in Georgia’s mouth
every 10-20 minutes when she cries.
10PM- Give up and put Georgia in bed with me.
12AM- Attempt to put Georgia back in her bed when Tony comes
to bed. Success!
6AM- Wake up to baby fussing, figure out who it is…Georgia
again. Replace paci. Get up due to the
pain in back and hips (I’m still all jacked up from a twin pregnancy, and twin
holding, carrying, bathing, feeding, blah blah blah), and the inability to go back
to sleep after 6AM. See the mess of Taco Bell garbage, Sprite cans, shoes, used
wet wipes, and bottles from last night. Think about cleaning up, but decide to
write this blog instead.
