Morning,
I have been asked by many people this question . . ."What do you do all day at home? Don't you get bored?" HA! I don't fault anyone for asking that question, because I to have wondered the same thing of stay at home moms before Maddie came along. Each day is unique and filled with many surprises, but there are a few key things that make up our day.
6:30am - Maddie awakes and eats **But recently it has been 4:30 or 5:30 due to teething!**
7am-8:30am - Maddie plays and tells us lots of stories
8:30-10:30am - Maddie naps (sometimes only for an hour though), and while that takes place I get lunch and dinner ready, laudry, clean the house, etc
10:30am - Maddie eats
11am-1pm - Maddie plays - we work on tons of stuff! Sitting up. . .rolling over. . . .etc
1pm-2pm - Maddie naps - if I am SUPER lucky! But normally this doesnt happen
2pm - Maddie eats
2:30pm-3:30pm - We go on a 3 mile walk which she is wide awake for - she doesnt want to miss anything!
3:30pm-5pm - Maddie plays some more
5pm - Maddie eats
5:30pm-6:30pm - Another 3 mile walk . . .Pat joins us!
6:30pm-7:30pm - MORE playtime!!
7:30pm - Bottle and bed!!! Now it is time for Pat and I to have dinner!
As you can see, that doesnt leave much time to sit around and get bored! I can honestly say that I feel as if I have always given 110% at every job that I have had. BUT, by far, this is the hardest I have ever worked in my life. This is not a post about me complaining by any means, because at the end of the day, this is the best job I have ever had! Knowing that I have a direct impact on another individual does scare me at times, but also rewards me on a daily basis watching my litle girl grow. Not every day is a perfect day . . . I have my fair share of days that I am dragging my feet and wonder how I might get through without a 30 minute nap, but that is a day in the life of a mom!
