SO the last few comments asked about my clean house. It is only clean because I am insane. After having the kids, when I have a mess, I kinda freak out and have almost a nervous break-down...so I have to clean it. And to those who know me well...I am an angry cleaner..meaning I only clean when I am angry. =)
I now love to watch Jon and Kate, because Kim is like Jon and I am like Kate. We have very similar personalities when we work as a couple. I thought Kate was nuts..but then I though about my routines... and they were the same. Scary huh?
To those who are curious.. Here it is.
Wake up at 6:45am.
Wake up the kids who usually don't want to wake up and scream for a good 20 mins.
Get the kids dressed, cleaned, and ready.
If Perry hasn't been awoken by the screaming.. then I head downstairs to make breakfast.
Get Perry ready.
Clean up after breakfast.
Run out and warm up the car.
Come in and get the kids dressed in their snow suits, gloves, boots, and hats. (x 3)
Get the kids in the car and buckled up.
8:30-11:30 Elliot and Morgan are at daycare.
Meanwhile I come back.
Unload the dishwasher. Clean off the counter tops.
Sweep and wipes the floors by hand. (things get stuck, so i have to scrub..moms understand what i mean.)
Feed Perry, put him down for a nap.
During this hour I drink 2 cups of coffee. Then make 4 beds. Pick up yesterday's worn clothes from the floor, dump in laundry.. Do about 4 loads of laundry every other day.
Fold yesterday's Laundry.
Now here is the fun part. I get to choose if I want to clean the bathrooms, vacuum, dust, wipe all glass materials, Iron, sort out a room full of toys, or watch Oprah. hahaha.
I spread out these fun options out during the 5 day weekday.
Grab Perry and get the boys.
Make Lunch
Clean up lunch.. (wiping everything included.)
Hang out with the kids for 30 mins. Drink 2 more cups of coffee.
Put Elliot down for a nap 1pm.
Do one of those fun cleaning routines that I get to choose.
Put Perry for a nap 3pm.
Play Wii with Morgan.
Make a snack when ELliot wakes up.
4pm. Make dinner.
4:30pm Feed dinner, then clean up.
5:30 I get to rest. Drink 1 cup of coffee.
7pm Get the kids upstairs for bath.
8pm. i get to rest.
9pm kids are in bed forced to sleep. =)
11pm. Diana is ready to sleep.
It sounds much worse than it is...but that is what it is like being home with the kids.
I really enjoy it, and wouldn't wanna trade it for work. haha. but the sucky part is that it is a lonely job. I have kim on Friday and Sundays. So my load is much lighter those days. I try to be flat out lazy... and Kim is great! But in general I am alone with the kids.
I was gonna show a pic of my messy house.. but i just cleaned so... here is a clean house! =)
I'll post one when the kids come home..=)
