I thought about trying to document the perfect day, but letโs be honest, those donโt exist.ย At all.
Or not in my house.ย So, hereโs the honest truth:
7:30- I wake up, the kids have already been awake for a few minutes, but know I donโt wake up well
7:35- I blink at my computer screen and try to resemble a human being while drinking a breakfast shake.ย Ever since being pregnant with the twins I havenโt done well with breakfast frequently.
8:15-get breakfast for the kids.ย I do not want a repeat of the GREAT PLATE MELTING INCIDENTโฆโฆโฆ..ย The smell of melted plastic does not leave your house for HOURS people.
8:30- stare at computer for a few more minutes, maybe blink a little, and decide to take a shower while kids watch TV.ย Warn kids weโll start school once I come out.
8:45-get distracted by book, and read for 15 minutes-ishโฆโฆ..
9:00ish- Calendar Time
9:45- Exercise, led by Superman today.ย We practice Kung Fu moves, and do push-ups.ย Do you know how many years itโs been since I did a push up?
9:55- Dance break, yes we have a daily dance break.

10:56- Mac saves us from any scary things in the backyard below by warning us of them.
11:05- Load up in the car for lunch with my Mom.ย Turn around 3 times for various things left behind.ย THREE TIMES!

1:00- Superman attempts to break his nose at the store.ย Errands are cancelled and we head home.
1:30- Superman attempts to injure himself in many more spectacular ways.ย I consider wrapping my kids in bubble wrapโฆโฆโฆโฆ.

2:25- History, we finish off history for the week early in a marathon spree.
3:00- The boys attempt to sit on each other.ย Then decide to dance with the dogs.ย Why?ย Because they can.
