A day in the life of...

ME!

This is what my days consist of right now. I am picking what a typical Tuesday is like. Other days I only work one job so its not so hectic.

6:45am This is wake up time. A minute past this and it throws the whole morning routine off.
I must immediatly get into the shower and get myself ready to go. While I am in the shower the big kids are usually up and getting themselves ready for school. Thank goodness for kids that get dressed and eat all by themselves!

7:00-7:30am I spend this time getting Payton ready. Diaper changed and dressed. He does not normally get a bottle this early because he gets up at 4am to eat. That might change soon.

7:30am Out the door. Big kids stay home with hubby to catch the bus. Bringing Payton to my sister. She is watching him right now.

8:00am Goodbyes at Shaunas. I hate this time of day. I kiss and love on Payton for as long as I can.

8:30am Arrive at work. Here I will stay until 4:30pm

4:30-5:30pm Leave job one, go home, change clothes, eat dinner and get ready for job 2.

6:00pm. Arrive at job 2. This is at Massage Envy. I massage people for 4 hours. This is new to me and I am still working on getting clients and making the most of my time here.

10:00pm Home to stay at last.

10:30 or 11pm Bedtime.

1:00am: Payton wakes up to eat. I give him a bottle and stare into his eyes as he eats. I love this time with him although I wish it was during the day and not the middle of the night.

4am: Payton wakes to eat again. I hear him and gently nudge hubby to get him!

It looks like there is no division between night and day! Right now it feels like there isnt. On Monday and Tuesday nights I work 2 jobs. The big kids go to their dad's house and Tim stays home with the baby. It is a crazy way to live. But we need the extra income. Wednesday and Thursday nights I am home with the 3 kids and Tim works his second job. Saturdays we both work him in the morning and me in the afternoon. Someone is always at home with the kids. Sundays are our day of rest and family time.

Soon I am hoping we dont have to live like this. As it goes right now the hubs and I do not have time for personal things. I may cut down to one night a week or only Saturdays.
