Day in the Life - January 29, 2020

5:15am | I hear Zach whimpering from his room and calling for his water bottle, so I go find it, comfort him a bit (think he had a bad dream) and then crawl back into bed for 10 minutes before Keith is up and going to the gym. I grab my coffee and go sit down on the couch to work on my knitting (which I'm really hoping to get done by this weekend).

6:30am | Start getting kids up for the day. Zach was already standing at his gate, waiting for me to open it up. Violet (as usual) was a bit harder to get up. Got the kids breakfasts going and Keith got home from the gym and started getting himself ready for work.

8am | Keith started getting his stuff ready to go, which also meant that he had to blend up his smoothie. And of course, Zach is always up for helping Daddy blend his smoothies. Keith heads off to work, and I send Violet off to school shortly after and then start getting Dom & Zach ready to go to Zach's haircut appointment.

9am | Zach has his haircut and finally looks like a little man again! And he did really good for the hairdresser, which is always a relief. After, we went to the gym so that I could do my walking on the treadmill and some light leg exercises.

10:30am | Back home after the gym and a couple errands. Put on Toy Story 3 for the kids, grab a protein shake for myself, have a quick shower and chill for a bit.

12pm | Feed everyone lunch, do a quick clean up of the house and put Zach down for his nap. Me & Dominique chill on the couch for a bit, her playing Minecraft and me resting. We both ended up falling asleep on the couch.

2pm | I got up from my nap, put Ruby outside, reheated a cup of coffee, let Ruby back in and sat down to work some more on my knitting.

3:15pm | Both kids up from their naps, so I start sorting the laundry and getting supper in the oven, as well as putting the clean dishes away, and prepping stuff for Awana's this evening. Violet gets home from school and goes to start on her chores with Dominique before supper.

5pm | Feed me & the kids supper of Taco Tater Tot Casserole as Keith gets home, and then get the girls started on dishes while I supervise Zachary in the tub and do a bit of tidying up before Awana's.

7pm | Drop the girls' off at Awana's and I take Zach into the nursery where I meet up with my 2 girlfriends who also have their kids in Awana's.

8:30pm | I pick-up the girls from their classes and then head home to put everyone to bed, relax a bit myself and in bed by 9:30.
