This was a Friday, so a work day for me. Due to my job as a nurse, there are certain details about who I see or what I see them for that will have to be left out or remain vague.
6:20-I finally make myself get out of bed. I have been hitting the snooze for waayy too long. That means the hair is going up in a pony tail today! I get ready in the bathroom while the rest of the house is still sleeping.
6:45- I go and get this sweet girl up and dressed for the day. Sometimes she wakes up earlier, then plays while I get ready. After she is dressed we sit in the rocker while she nurses and I read my devotions. I pump after she is done eating to get a bit extra to send to daycare with her.
7:00-Lyle wakes up and comes in with Aria and I. This is NOT typical. I literally lift him out of bed each morning and carry him to the bathroom to get him up and awake. Once I am finished pumping, we go to the kids' bathroom so Lyle can go potty, take his allergy medicine, and brush his teeth. Then Lyle picks his clothes and we read a quick book at his request.
7:20-Downstairs to find shoes, pack milk for Aria, and breakfast and lunch for me.
7:30-7:40- Everyone is out the door to their respective places. Zach drops the kids off at daycare since I have a longer drive to work.
8:00-Time to work! The first hour is usually checking email, looking at the schedule for the day, and making a to do list. And of course a cup of coffee helps. Today I ate breakfast in the car, but most of the time I bring oatmeal or something and eat it at my desk.
8:30-First appointment of the morning and a bit of charting afterward.
9:30-Time to pump! I like having something to read to make the time go faster..right now I am reading this...
9:50- A few appointments in the schedule got moved around, so it's time to work on a course. And have a snack. Have you heard of Graze? It is a subscription box with snacks! I got a free sample and was really tempted to keep my subscription, but saving money won in the end. The snacks were all really good though. The boxes I signed up for were 8 snacks every two weeks. If you want to try it, use the code KIMB93Z9B and you can get a sample box for free and your 5th regular box free.
11:15- Immunization appointments for the rest of the morning. Poor babies.
12-Time for lunch (while I'm pumping), then I typically go to the park for a little fresh air. I usually read, but today I watched a little Gilmore Girls on Netflix.
1-Back to work. We have a mix of appointments this afternoon. Some shots, a TB test to read, and a few family planning clients to check in with. In between clients I work on updating our OB/GYN referral list.
4:15- TGIF! The weekend is here! I get to leave a few minutes early today, because I ended up with extra time on Wednesday for meetings. I tried going to our church community garden to pick zucchini to make bread this weekend, but I only found one tiny one! I headed home to water the plants before the rest of the family made it home.
5:10- Everyone is home! We play for awhile and I feed Aria. I start supper and Lyle watches Spiderman on Netflix with Zach.
6:30- Aria is ready for bed early, so I put her down and get supper out of the oven. I made pizza twists which were a new recipe. They were good, but a bit spicy, so Lyle had waffles. And he dipped them in the ranch that was already on his plate. GROSS.
7-Time to relax. Lyle plays with his toys and watches a couple shows on his iPad. Zach and I have started watching Psych, so we watch a few episodes of that. I might have fallen asleep on the couch. MIGHT.
9-Upstairs to put Lyle to bed. He brushes his teeth, I put lavender in the diffuser, and we read a couple books. His favorites right now are The Big Book of Blaze and Polar Bear's Underwear.
9:30-Aria wakes up and is ready to eat again. I feed her, then head to bed myself. Not sure why I am so tired from the week. Zach stays downstairs to watch another show before he heads to bed.
Just another day in the Bauer house. One of my favorite places to be.
