What do you DO all day?

As a stay-at-home mom, I've actually been asked this exact question several times over the past 7 years. It use to annoy me, now it makes me laugh. Of course every day is different and some are worse than others, here's how my Monday went this week:

6:45am - up, shower, get ready for the day (adding in "go to gym" next week)

7-8am - get kids up, dressed, fed

8:15am - drop off Kyle, then drop off Kelly at her school

8:30-11am - laundry, pick up the Sunday Hurricane, make many apartment-related phone calls, waste some time on Facebook, talk to Char about a crazy tenant, cut coupons, make grocery list

11:15-noon - help @ Kyle's school in the library (the calmest 45 minutes of my week...LOVE it)

12-1pm - grocery shopping (I'll admit, WAY less stressful sans kids)

1:15pm - pick up Kelly @ school (still trying to adjust to her being gone so long. Her? She loves it)

1:30-3:15pm - feed Kelly a snack, put her down for a nap, put away groceries. more apartment phone calls, show vacancy to someone, browse online whilst eating my own lunch, figure out a plan for dinner

3:15-4:30pm - pick Kyle up @ his friend's house, go to Cub Scouts, make paper airplanes w/the boys

4:45-5:15pm - come home, get kids a snack, look through Kyle's backpack, get ready for karate

5:30-6:30pm - Kyle's karate...since I did grocery shopping earlier, I get to sit and watch the WHOLE time instead of running next door to shop

6:45-8pm - dinner, homework, get kids ready for bed

8-9pm - clean up dinner, veg online, make To Do list for Tuesday

9-11pm - watch '24' with Jehremy, crash for the night

So. What do YOU do all day?

While I know it's not true, lately I'm convinced that what I do all day is breastfeed a seven-month-old bottomless pit.

One of my closest IRL friends managed apartments in Oakland. Stressful times, go you!

You have a lot of anonymous fans.

And my list involves way more Clorox Clean Up and urine on the floor. Also way more time sitting on the cold hard tile begging people to just freaking poop already!

I sit on my couch and eat bon-bons while watching Jerry Springer. Don't all stay at home moms do that?

Yea, I'm a complete genius- Sheri can vouch for me. Everything I know, I've learned from Jerry Springer, Tyra, Days of Our Lives, and People Magazine. If it's not on one of those, it doesn't matter.
