Moms Work Too

You know, I should probably be over this by now, but I'm not and I'll just let you all know it. I HATE when people hear that I am a stay at home mom and I get the 'oh-what-do-you-do-with-yourself-all-day' look. Example:

7:30 am Lowe's calls to tell me that they will NOT be delivering our rental house
appliances this morning. Cross that off the list
7:45 am Add 4 more phone calls to the list to re-schedule everything so they can
deliver them tomorrow
8:00 am Pay bills
8:30 am Children wake up
8:35 am Get children dressed and make breakfast
9 am Take shower
10:30 am Leave for errands
11 am Drop off tuition at church
11:15am Drop off Ballet tuition
11:30 am Post office to buy stamps and mail about 15 bills.
11:45 am Bank to deposit money to pay for above three items
12:30 am WalMart - while sounding like one task, it is actually 4 - Grocery
shopping, Mean mom (SIT DOWN OBEY), accountant (making sure we don't go one
penny over grocery budget, and avoiding all the "lookers"(if you have ever
been to WalMart in the south, you know who I am talking about, the ones who
go to WalMart to walk up and down every aisle at 1/3 the speed of a normal
human)
1:39 exactly. Back in car to drive home
2:20 pm Get home, unload groceries-in the rain by the way
2:30 pm Get lunch
3:00 pm Do 3 loads of laundry - this acutally doesn't get fully accomplished until
10:30 pm
3:30 pm Workout - cause stay at home moms don't just eat bon-bons all day
4:00 pm Make 4 phone calls regarding our Disney Vacation (think December people,
stuff was already booked up. Craziness)
5:30pm Start dinner; luckily Jason is going to be late
5:45 pm Comfort child who wakes up crying; get snacks
6:15 pm Laundry again
6:45pm Go to gym to workout more
7-8pm Workout like crazy. Got to lose the last 5 pounds.
8:15pm Clean up from dinner
8:45pm Fold 2nd load of Laundry
9:30pm Pay rest of bills and order ballet uniform online
10:15pm Finish Laundry
11pm GO TO BED

I believe the only time I sat down this particular day was driving the car, and when I got online around, oh, 10pm. Just FYI, this day was considered "normal" in the grand scope of days in general. Just wait until I post a schedule of my crazy days.

GO MOM'S! Hardest job there is!
