Making A Re-Appearance...

A day in the life of me...

  • Stay up until midnight or later, every other night, completing vinyl lettering orders.
  • Wake up at 7am to get the daughter ready for school and out the door.
  • Do dishes, maybe throw in some laundry, and finish completing vinyl lettering orders that you were too tired to finish the night before.
  • Take a shower and get dressed.
  • Rush to the Elementary School to teach 3 hours of P.E.
  • After school, hurry and drop off Taylor at dance
  • Rush home to finish boxing up orders and deliver them to the post office.
  • Sometime, during all of this chaos, figure out what to cook for dinner.
  • Rush to the gym to teach Pilates or Dance.
  • Hurry home to feed the family and read and practice spelling with Taylor.
  • Start to feel tired.
  • Bathe the kids and put them to bed.
  • Watch your favorite show.
  • Go to sleep.
Wake up with a sore throat...two days later find out it's strep!!!
  • Be extremely thankful for antibiotics!
  • Take lots of naps.
  • Love the fact you live with your MIL who can take care of you and the kids!
  • Wake up, feel better, and realize you have to get back to work...UGH!
Spend the entire day baking and frosting Valentine Day Cookies!

Realize the work of a mother NEVER ends!

Crazy! That is so busy. I bet you feel really accomplished at the end of the day though, or maybe just tired??? Luckily you have mom there to help with the kids.

I am so glad your strep throat is better. Those are so miserable. To me it feels like a thousand sharp razor blades slice in unison every time I swallow. I had something like that last month. Thank goodness for antibiotics and Ibuprofin. I wish I could come watch shows with you some night and help you with your lettering. You are so cute.

Yikes! Reading this makes me a little bit more nervous to become a mom! It must all be worth it though, or else you wouldn't do it. I'm glad you're feeling better! Strep is awful! I'm also glad you have help when you need it.

I'm going to be putting in an order with you if you're still doing the onesies. :) I need one that says "gamer in training" for my husband. :)

I didn't know what step throat was like until last year. It was very painful. I am sorry you had that.

Just finished frosting our 4 dozen cookies here, too. I don't know why I keep signing up for these things, but I always get tricked when I hear my kids say they want "my" cookies.

You are such a super mom, and super cute while at it.

Strep throat is horrible! Glad you were taken care of. Your description of the day makes me want to crawl into bed and never come out. You are such a super mom!!

I need to come down and bail you out...I can weed with the best of them.

Oh my gosh Kimberly. I am really thankful that you are over the strep throat. Did the kids get sick? You are really a cute "mom"! Usually when moms get sick the whole world stops so I am grateful for your MIL also. I love how you get involved with all of the activities the kids are in and also teach. Love you very much!!

Christie said...

Oh honey, I'm exhausted just reading your list! Get some rest so you don't get sicker!

So glad you're getting over strep--not fun! With your hectic schedule I hope you are finding time to BREATHE!!

Unknown said...

Ummmm...maybe your body is telling you to sloooooow down!

Lisa said...

I can so relate!!! It just changes as they get older - you don't have to make the cookies anymore :D Glad you are feeling better. Strep throat is yucky!!!

Erin said...

Can you say...SUUUUPER MOOM!! Wow! I think you get the Mom of the year award! I can't believe the schedule your pulling! And your little sis is probably right..you are working yourself sick! Aren't MIL's the best? I've got a good one too....

Unknown said...

Wow, you've been super busy!

I couldn't have said it better myself! And I don't teach PE or Pilates. I'm tired just thinking of your day(s)! You are amazing. Your family is lucky to have you. And mothers never rest, that is the truth!!!

No, a woman's work is NEVER done!
Sorry you were sick and hope you are much better now!
