A Week in My Life: Sunday

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! 

5:30am - Jarrod's alarm goes off VERY loud!

5:39am - Jarrod's alarm goes off VERY loud...again! He gets up, showers, etc.

7:07am - Jarrod says goodbye. He's off to work/church. Wesley and I will join him in a few hours. It's time for me to get up! I pump and catch up on blogs before ever getting out of bed.

7:30am - 5 ounces of milk pumped and I hop in shower.

7:41am - It's amazing to shower on Sunday without worrying about Wesley. He's still quiet in his room, but I'm sure he's awake. Because he's quiet, I decide I have time to comb hair and sort laundry.

7:51am - I change Wesley's diaper and it's time for him to nurse. Sometimes I bring him back to bed with me but this morning I decide to nurse him in the rocker in his room. 

8:04am - Breakfast time! I get Wesley settled and heat up edamame, spinach, and apple sauce. Thankfully, I had the sense to have it in the fridge ready to go so I don't need to defrost anything. Lunch is also packed so I grab that while I'm in there.

8:25am - Breakfast and cleanup done. Time to get ready!

8:33am - Thanks to a few minutes before Wesley woke up, mama's ready. I'd hoped to be out the door by 8:30am...that's not happening.

Wesley has a huge poop while I'm getting ready, so getting him dressed takes some extra time.

8:44am - On our way to church. I try to arrive early to greet visitors, but I'm a little bit late today.

8:45am - Realize I'm out of gas. Already running late what's a little later?

8:57am - Struggle to get Wesley out of the car and get all of our stuff to the church. It's very windy! Arrive early. Thankfully a friend grabs Wesley because I'm asked several questions before I've even entered the church. I run around for a few minutes before settling in for worship.

10:19am - After church and visiting with folks, Wesley and I run errands. My list includes jeans, a flea collar, butter, and searching for cowboy hats for my boys.

11:15am - Jeans purchased at Kohl's and we're headed to Target! Thankfully it's in the same shopping center as our lunch location. I park at the restaurant change and feed Wes.

12:09am - I found everything I need at Target and walk back to the restaurant. Wesley is settled and we wait for our friends to arrive. Wesley does a great job and is mesmerized by the TVs. There is a noon Cowboys game so we sit in a restaurant with about 700 TVs. Wesley still manages to pound down Spinach, bananas, sweet potatoes, and more edamame.

1:30pm - Lunch is over... and just in time! Wesley was getting fussy. He's been awake all day and is exhausted. He falls asleep in the 10 minutes it takes us to get home.

1:55pm - Wesley is asleep and Jarrod is resting so mama goes for a walk!

2:30pm - Jarrod has to get back to work soon so I just get 2.5 miles in. I talk with Jarrod about church stuff, try on my new jeans (he approves!), and write a few e-mails.

3:07pm - Wes is awake! Jarrod needs to leave, so we both say goodbye. Wesley gets a diaper change and  nurses.

3:30pm - I move Wesley's pack 'n play into the kitchen and get started on dinner. We're having brown rice and chicken casserole. I decide I'm also going to start on stew for later in the week.

4pm - I decide take a break from dinner to watch TV, blog, and play with Wesley. Welsey's not interested in playing by himself and needs my undivided attention...

By 4:15pm I am back up was getting stew ready and making biscuits - wearing Wesley in the Moby because he refuses to be put down.

5pm - Decide to go for a walk.

5:01pm - Realize that the stroller is in Jarrod's car at the church. Back inside.

5:30pm - Dinner in the oven. Wes in the bath.

6:05pm - Start dinner for Wesley. I give him puffs because he's getting fussy.

6:15pm - I finally sit down and feed Wesley. He is a bottomless pit! Perhaps this is why he was so fussy...

6:30pm - Jarrod arrives home and we sit to eat. Wesley is mostly done so we give him some applesauce and oatmeal. Then he eats more - some of our dinner. It's the first time we've given him table food. He seems to like it!

6:50pm - Diaper change for Wesley. It's time to go to sleep. Normally he gets a bath now, but on Sundays I do it before Jarrod gets home to save time.

6:55pm - We read Wesley a story and I feed him. We pray and put him to bed.

7:05pm - Wesley goes right to sleep. I edit photos while we wait for Once Upon a Time. We like to start our shows 15 minutes into it so we can skip commercials. I grab a small glass of wine.

After Once Upon a Time (not that impressed with this week's episode. They keep adding in new characters and I'm not sure I like the characters they already have!) it's time for Lie to Me and ice cream! We've been watching Lie to Me on netflix and LOVE it.

9:30pm - Check on Wes, switch a load of laundry, run the dishwasher and get ready for bed. Somehow I've managed to do 4 loads of laundry today without ever documenting it...

Get ready for bed! My evening routine includes getting cleaned up, pumping, and reading the bible readings for the day. Jarrod and I are reading the Bible in a year using YouVersion on our phones.

10:30pm - I finally turn out the light.
