A Week in the Life . . .

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2010

12:00 a.m. - Wait to get on the ferry. I am NOT a night person, so I'm rapidly turning into a pumpkin. Finally get on the ferry. Sit next to some friends from our ward who had also been to the concert. They had awesome seats, and somehow managed to not sit by any drunks. Luckies.
1:00 a.m. - Arrive back on the island. Jimmy & Mariann give me a ride home (and pick up their son, whom Nathan had been watching for the evening). Check on all my sleeping kids. Collapse into bed at 1:30 a.m. Get a sleepy "How was it?" grunt from Nathan. I don't think he was awake enough to hear my "AWESOME!" response.
2:00 a.m. - Sleep
3:00 a.m. - Sleep
4:00 a.m. - Sleep
5:00 a.m. - Sleep
6:00 a.m. - Nathan up (I don't even hear him). Emma up. I drag myself out of bed at 6:45 a.m.
7:00 a.m. - Adana up. Scripture and prayer. Emma to the bus. Make muffins for Adana's preschool (I had forgotten that she was Child of the Day, which also means that I'm Snack Parent.)
8:00 a.m. - Boys off to school. Adana dressed. Type up a quick blog report for all of my anxious fans. :-)
9:00 a.m. - Adana to preschool. I volunteer as Reading Parent in Emma's classroom.
10:00 a.m. - Finish as Reading Parent. Go for my run.
11:00 a.m. - Finish my run. Head to gym to lift.
12:00 p.m. - Pick up Micah at school. Pick up Adana at preschool. Home for lunch (I'm starving because I forgot to eat breakfast).
1:00 p.m. - Put Adana down for a nap. Homeschool boys.
2:00 p.m. - I honestly can't remember what I did during this hour. I know I was starting to feel pretty tired. I must have been in a pseudo-comatose stage. Glad I wasn't driving.
3:00 p.m. - Micah to Glass Bending class. Mariann comes over to download her contraband pictures onto my computer. I'll post them later.
4:00 p.m. - Take Emma to Knitting class. I sit in a chair to watch and barely manage to stay awake.
5:00 p.m. - Home to clean and tidy. Mariann cooked this evening, so at least I didn't have to use a stove or handle any sharp knives. Eat dinner. Ben (a neighborhood friend) joins us.
6:00 p.m. - Wash dishes with Emma. Nathan, Emma & I go to her Open House at school.
7:00 p.m. - Tour Emma's classroom. Oooh and Ahhh at all her cute art projects.
8:00 p.m. - Home. Watch an old Dungeon & Dragons episode from Netflix. Nathan & Jared have their Date Night.
9:00 p.m. - Get Emma to bed. Help her with her knitting (or at least I try. I suck at knitting, so I'm not really much help). Snuggle with Adana, who is complaining of a tummy ache. Offer countless silent prayers that she isn't actually sick and that she won't puke tonight. Please, no puke!
10:00 p.m. - Get Adana to bed. I don't know why I waited so long. Clearly my mind just isn't functioning properly. Nathan & Jared still having Date Night. Micah working on his First Aid Merit Badge (and I was thinking he was in bed all this time). Think about cleaning up the house a bit more, but decide I need to get some sleep.
11:00 p.m. - Sleep

I gotta say...I was anxious to see how today went after your wild evening. I don't know how you managed to function through all of that on 5 hours of sleep! You are incredible! Can't wait to see if you crash and burn on Friday or Saturday. Maybe you need a little sugar????
