Like most mornings, I push snooze, once, twice&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>7.00a &#8211; Crap! Finally drag my lazy ass outta bed, rush into the shower, and get dressed before the kidlets realize I&#8217;m awake.<\/p>\n<p>7.30-7.50a &#8211; Prep lunch bags for myself &#038; Peanut. Get Ringo outta bed and dressed. Yes, this really can take 20 minutes. He does not like diaper changes and fidgets like you wouldn&#8217;t believe. At the same time, I am haggling with Peanut on what she can and cannot wear to school. Oh, and I make sure her hair is brushed before I leave.<\/p>\n<p>7.55a &#8211; Ringo &#038; I kiss everyone good-bye for the day. I put Ringo in the car and then pack the car. Reminder that I am a pack mule when I leave the house\/get to work: laptop bag, gym bag, and purse. (I&#8217;ve started to stuff my lunch bag into my laptop bag, just so that it&#8217;s one less bag to carry.)<\/p>\n<p>8.00a &#8211; Drop Ringo off at day care.<\/p>\n<p>8.10a &#8211; Make a detour to drop off dry cleaning and against better judgment (read: long ass line), grab brekkies at Starbucks.<\/p>\n<p>8.25a &#8211; In the car, en route to work.<\/p>\n<p>9.30a &#8211; Arrive at work, feeling pumped up for the week after listening to Nikka Costa&#8217;s Everybody Got Their Something. Work, work, work.<\/p>\n<p>11.30a &#8211; Head out for a pathetic run in the gorgeous PA weather.<\/p>\n<p>12 noon &#8211; Attend the 30 minute abs class at the gym. Since it&#8217;s my trainer teaching the class, he uses me as the example for the &#8220;advanced moves&#8221; &#8211; flattered and embarrassed at the same time. This is the 2nd time attending the class.<\/p>\n<p>12.45p &#8211; back at desk, work, work, work&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>5.40p &#8211; pick up Ringo at Day Care, usually with the comments &#8220;He&#8217;s so <em>terrible<\/em>! Pushing the other children&#8230;but he&#8217;s so cute! Like Peanut when she was younger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>6.30p &#8211; leftovers are served! Getting Ringo to eat is an uphill battle. Unless it&#8217;s pasta &#8211; he&#8217;ll eat pasta. Ringo decides he doesn&#8217;t want dinner, so yogurt it is.<\/p>\n<p>7.15 &#8211; 8.30p &#8211; I typically clean up the kitchen while The Husband deals with the baths &#038; showers for the kidlets. (Believe me, cleaning up is the hard part. The path of destruction that Ringo leaves behind at the table is amazing. Sigh.)<\/p>\n<p>8.50p &#8211; After a quick laundry folding session, I get ready for bed. Against better judgment, I catch up on the latest Grey&#8217;s Anatomy episode &#8211; the one with singing &#8211; in no way was I prepared to cry as much as I did. To further the bad judgment, I watch the Valentine&#8217;s Day episode of Glee that I missed.<\/p>\n<p>10.30p-ish &#8211; Night night<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6.30a &#8211; Alarm goes off.
