Cinderelly cinderelly...night and day Cinderelly....
Today i feel like Cinderella, except she got the pretty hair and clothes for the ball. Im still in rags lol. I keep telling myself i'll get a few new ones after i lose some weight. Slowly but surely im getting there. Down 9lbs so far. Not much, and i have a lot more to go, but people keep saying that its harder after each baby, and boy are they right!!
5 am, i wake up to my husbands alarm. Then the baby wakes up, and i realize she has slept the whole night!! I was excited, and it was much needed because im still fighting this little cold and congestion. DING DING DING 6:15am and you would have thought another alarm had went off. Julia gets up to pee, followed by Madie and Ella into the living room. *sigh* My day starts. Now dont get me wrong, i LOVE LOVE LOVE my kids but i was really hoping that this would be the morning they sleep in until 7 or so. I wanted a little time with my baby. And so it begins...
- Changed kids diapers
- Made kids breakfast
- Made kids a smoothie
- Made myself coffee!!
- Rocked baby to sleep and put her in her crib for the first time!
- Gave snack, reheated my coffee:)
- Showered Julia and Madisen
- Put on a little dance party (i ran off to take a quick shower)
- hung some shelves and a mirror
- baby woke up (total cat napper)
- Changed more diapers, took Ella potty
- heated my coffee AGAIN lol
- Made lunch, including preparing Salmon for dinner
- unloaded/re-loaded dishwasher
- Put Ella down for a nap
- Mopped the floor , i love my Libman Mop
Im realizing now that this list only contains a couple things different than my normal everyday routine. hmm. I
guess i just feel like Cinderella because of the rag clothes thing. Im tired of
only being able to fit a few things. But thats why im working on it! :)
You know how some days you just start going,going,going and you end up getting so much done and it wasnt even that big of deal? It was kinda like that this morning. I had the energy to do it, so i did. I like to get a lot done. And its so much easier to get things done when my husband isnt here, why is that?! lol Anyways, I have an insecurity that people look down on me because im overweight. That they think im lazy and that i just sit and eat fast food/junk food all day. Probably why i end up saying all that i've done today. Dont worry, i'll try not to make a habit out of it, even though i already kinda have :)
So, my 1st grader has been on fall break (intersession) since the 1st of October and she FINALLY goes back tomorrow haha. She's actually becoming quite the helper, so im actually somewhat sad she goes back. Im starting to let her help with chores by sorting and putting away her own laundry. It may not seem like much, but it sure feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders letting her do that. I feel like there is just never enough time for me to get to the stacks of clothes. I fold what goes in the kids drawers, but shirts, dresses, and tank tops, get hung up in the closet. So i always have a stack on their dresser of what needs to be hung up. By the time i get them all put away, i've done more loads of laundry and have another stack. UGH. You dont even want to see MY room haha. Thats where the mess is. Laundry on my dresser than needs to get hung up, piles of baby clothes she has grown out, and another bin of stuff she fits and needs to be organized. Not my priority right now though. Keeping their rooms and play room clean and organized along with the kitchen have a higher rank.
The kids have all been pretty good so far today. That may one reason i was in the mood enough to get extra done. Even got some pictures of them all being sweet with baby Aubrey while she was enjoying her playgym. I love that thing BUT i have to monitor crazy monkey Ella cause she loves get down there with Aubrey. She doesnt quite know how to lay down NEXT to the baby with out crushing her in some way. So i gotta be there to protect her :)
Remember how my kids make me a million cards a day? Well by the end of this, i've gotten 2 from Julia and Madisen that say "i love you so much mommy". Its so sweet! Even after ive gotten mad at them i still receive those. Julia will sometimes bring me a picture she drew of herself crying, when she is sad or mad at me or Madisen hahaha. I think its funny...lol Oh i get tons of paper with fabric scraps cut and glued onto paper, what am i gonna do with those? (they go into the garbage,shhhh) They just love to use scissors and glue!
