Schedule Update

LoLo and I follow a schedule. It isn't anywhere close to the original schedule that I rogued off the internet and adapted to my likings, but I think it could still loosly fall into the schedule category. Our day actually goes something like this....

    6:30 a.m. - Barely open an eye to kiss DaDa good day.
    7:00 a.m. - Wake and get a cup of coffee immediately! This is my only real time to do any  
                       housework. Once she gets up, it is nearly impossible.
    8:30 a.m. - LoLo wakes for milk and breakfast. I try to fix something healthy, but sometimes resort
                      to junk (DaDa isn't a fan of the junk). If I do fix something health, I spend an extra 30
                      minutes cleaning it from the walls and floor.
   9:30 a.m. - Outside. We have been managing a neighborhood walk every morning. Somewhere
                      between 1.5 - 2.5 miles. Yay! me. After the walk, LoLo loves to walk the yard, play
                      with the dogs, swing, play in her sandbox and eat cherry tomatoes off the vine. I try to
                      get some yard work done and maybe clean out my car, but any accomplishments on my
                      part result in the complete destruction of something else by her.
  11:00 a.m. - She is so filthy by this time, she goes directly in the bath. Sand in her hair, paint on her
                      face, wet from playing the dog's water bowl. A mess.
  11:30 a.m. - Lunch. Fast and easy. My child loves corn dogs, leftovers, lunch meat and cheese. I 
                       may or may not remember to pull something out of the freezer for dinner at this time.
  12:00 noon - LoLo nap. MaMa takes an hour to eat lunch and veg out. I was originally trying to
                       tackle all my chores, but it was killing me. Some days I veg out the entire time she
                       naps, others I will take care of the chores that are impossible while she is awake.    
                      Hopefully I will get a blog post or a shower in, but there is no guarantee. One maybe,
                      but not both.
   2:30 p.m. - LoLo is up and ready for milk and a snack.
   3:00 p.m. - Dance party,  coloring book, episode of Yo Gabba Gabba or some other distraction.      
                     This usually gets her in the mood to play so that I can get started on dinner. O' it's
                     still frozen! Might as well play with LoLo.
   3:30 p.m. - All the neighborhood kids are home and we have to go outside to see what all the
                      dogs are barking about. We go outside and play in the sand, eat dirt and wreck the
                      riding toy in the driveway.
   4:30 p.m. - We come inside crying and go play in LoLo's room to calm down and cool off. This is                           great fun! Dress-up, singing, ball toss, cooking (O no! dinner, what about dinner!).
   5:30 p.m. - DaDa is home. He takes over while I manage to whip something up to feed the hungry  
                     gang. Again, no guarantees here - just a hot meal, hopefully.
    6:30 p.m. - LoLo is fading fast. She is cutting 2 teeth right now, so DaDa and I both
                      have to hold on for dear life to make it through the last hour. Some nights are better
                      than others and we all enjoy yet another trip outside or a little floor playtime, but
                      sometimes we resort to TV or some other forbidden parenting No-No.
   7:30 p.m. - LoLo is out for the night. Shew. MaMa and DaDa take a few minutes to rest and do
                      nothing, absolutely nothing.
   8:30 p.m. - More than likely we are still sitting in the same place we sat down in at 7:30. Either or
                      both of us may be passed out. If not, we are on the computer, I may put the dinner
                      dishes in the dishwasher or veg out watching some mindless reality TV show.
  10:30 p.m. - We are both out like a light. Hopefully one of us wakes to drag our tails to bed so we
                      don't sleep on the couch.

Tonight is Date Night! Thanks to Gammy. Saturday we leave to visit Grannie and Grandfather at the beach. Grannie's Birthday! We will be on Grandparent time, so out the window with the schedule anyways. Who needs a schedule? Only thing I need to schedule is some more MaMa time!
