A Week in my Life: Monday

I enjoyed Dusty's A Week in my Life so much that I thought I should try it myself! I've done my average day, but my days are all so random that there really isn't an average day. So here's the average week - which really isn't that average! Read more about a week in my life here! 

6:30am - Alarm goes off and I take a quick shower.

6:40am - pump, read blogs, and check e-mail and facebook.

7am -  Put away milk, comb hair, and get ready as much as I can before I need to feed Wesley.

7:07am - Jarrod gets Wesley and brings him to me to eat.

7:10am - Wesley nurses and I send e-mails and snuggle. Nursing is about the only time during the day that he holds still for more than 30 seconds at a time.

7:30am - Finish getting ready for work while Wesley crawls around on the floor.

7:35am - Jarrod and I feed Wesley, make and eat breakfast, and chat about the day.

7:45am - pack up and leave for work

7:47am - I have my car loaded and my GPS ready to go (I know how to get to work, but my GPS alerts me to traffic, so I use it everyday!) and realize I am forgetting something. I need to take a package to the post office but have left it in Jarrod's car.

7:50am - Jarrod gets the package and I get Wesley dressed. I'm back and on my way to work!

8:30am - Arrive at work and get down to business! I've been out of the office since Thursday morning so I have some voice messages to catch up on.

9:40am - Stop by the post office to mail the package. Normally I'd walk because it's only about 1/4 mile, but today I'm just stopping on my way to the chiropractor, so I opt to drive.

9:50am - Chiropractor. I have a standing 10am appointment every 2 weeks. While I am waiting I check email and blogs. Pump in the car.

10:20am - Back in my office.

12:10pm - The lunch room gets noisy so I head to pump. My office is just a cubicle (perhaps I'll share a picture later this week...) so I pump in a secluded back closet. Normally I can pump in my car between appointments, but when I'm in the office, I use the closet.

Stack of books on my desk that I'd like to read by January...

12:35pm - back at my desk.

1:15pm - heat up brown rice casserole and work thru lunch It's freezing in here - my space heater is on!

4:45pm - Shut down, close up, and head for home.

5:25pm - Arrive home. Favorite part of my day! Wesley is so excited. I am convinced he calls me Mama. Jarrod thinks it's just babbling. :-) I change clothes and sit down to chat with Jarrod... Notice there's a package for Wesley!

Cowboy boots from Granddad and Mimi!

5:45pm - Dinner time! I have tortillas with cheese. My stomach has been very upset lately, so I opt for something simple. Wesley has puréed fruits and veggies, puffs and brown rice and chicken casserole. Jarrod has nachos. Jarrod and I chat about our day and enjoy time as a family. When Wesley is done with his food, he nurses for a few minutes.

Wesley makes this face whenever we put food near him...

And after that first taste, he likes just about everything we feed him!

6:25pm - Leave for a meeting

6:56pm - This meeting us near where I went to college and graduate school. I love being in my old stomping ground!

8:40pm - Awesome meeting! Great conversation and delicious salted caramel hot chocolate.

9:05pm - Arrive home. Take a quick shower, put on my jammies and get ready for bed. I'm exhausted!

9:30pm - It's early, but I'm already in bed. I pump while Jarrod and I read our Bible passages for today. We talk about life, I put away my milk, and the lights are out by 10:30pm.
