A Day in the Life…

8:00am: Jettie, “Momma get up!” As she taps on my cheek.

Brush my teeth and go to the bathroom. Jettie, “Momma go poopoo?” As she cocks her head and tries to look through the crack of the toilet seat and toilet.

Make milk for Jettie, Timothy, and Erin.

Unload the dishwasher.

8:30am: Get screaming twins out of their bed.

Change the twins’ diapers.

Make breakfast, while Erin continually pulls my pants down as she uses them to balance.

9:00am: Everyone sits down to eat breakfast.

Erin is screaming because Timmy’s pancake looks better than hers, and she wants it.

Timmy is screaming because Erin is leaned over trying to take his pancake.

Jettie is screaming because the twins are screaming, and she doesn’t want to miss out on the fun.

9:30am: Change the babies clothes and clean up the kitchen.

Attempt to load the dirty dishes in the dishwasher while the twins attempt to unload it.

10:00am: I put on a load of laundry before transforming into a human jungle gym.

The kids love for me to lay down in the middle of the living room so they can climb all over me.

We play, do puzzles, and read books.

I leave the room briefly to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and return to Jettie attempting to change Bubba’s poopy diaper.

11:00am: Give all 3 of them a bath because you can’t give just one of them a bath.

Try to get them in the bathtub without getting the poop in more places.

11:30am: Get everyone out of the tub and dressed in new clothes.

11:45am: Lay the twins down for their nap. They usually end up playing for a solid 20-30 minutes before falling asleep.

Return to the living room to clean up the poop that Jettie got all over the floor while trying to change Timothy’s poopy diaper, only to find Jettie trying to clean up that same poop.

12:00pm: I put Jettie in the shower with me to rinse of the poop, AGAIN!

12:30pm: Jettie and I get dressed, and I put on my makeup for work.

Putting on make up takes a little longer because Jettie has to “paint” her face just like me.

1:00pm: I fold the load of laundry that I started at 10, with Jettie’s help of course.

**Now I will say that everything that Jettie helps me with usually ends up taking me twice as long than if I had just done it myself, but I never want her to feel like helping me is bad. I do this with the hopes that she will still want to help with things when she is 12.

I finish getting everything ready for work.

1:45pm: Get the twins up and change them.

Load everyone in the Sequoia and head to LuLu’s house.

2:15pm: Unload everyone and get them into LuLu’s house, where she usually has lunch waiting.

2:25pm: Leave to go to work after 20 hugs and kisses from Jettie Ruth.

3:00pm: Arrive at work.

2:00am: Leave work.

2:30am: Get home from work and get ready for bed.

3:00am: Crawl in bed and attempt to get a solid 5 hours before the tap on my cheek at 8 the next morning.

REPEAT!!!
