::We The King’s::

Yesterday my mom called me and said, “are you missing your phone?” I had no clue what she was talking about. Apparently when I got my hair cut on Monday night, my phone fell out of my purse. I just assumed it was in the bottom of my purse somewhere and I just hadn’t gotten any phone calls or texts.
So that leads into my day today–

What I planned to do:
Get up at 7–feed Ethan
7-9–Play w/ Ethan, make bottles, clean kitchen
9-11–Ethan naps and I would make a grocery list, clean the LR
11-?–Feed Ethan, go get my phone, grocery shop
and then be back home by 1pm for another nap and so on…

What I actually did:
3:45–get up and feed Ethan
4:00–Put Ethan and myself back to bed
7:00–Feed Ethan again
7-9–Sat on the floor and made sure E. didn’t get into anything. We need a baby gate system BADLY in our house!
9:00–E sleeps for 1/2 hour (I started to clean the kitchen…didn’t get that far)
9:30-10–Ethan whines unless I’m holding him.
10–Feed Ethan
10-11–Ethan naps and I don’t make a peep for fear he’d wake up
11:00–E wakes up starving just as I remember that Baxter has been outside on his leash for way too long and he’s howling and yelping at the backdoor.
12-100–Strap Ethan in his seat and head over to Cost Cutters to pick up my phone–E cries the whole time so I choose to skip grocery shopping and go home and put him back to bed.

I guess that is all part of being a stay-at-home mom. I have never been the type of person to rely on a schedule and a plan so much, but since having Ethan I live and die by our schedule and I’m afraid that Ethan does too. Everyone makes such a HUGE deal about “training” your child to have a schedule…so we did that–and in a way it’s been a struggle. Whenever we get off schedule just a little bit, Ethan falls apart and then I fall apart right after him! haha….it’s something we’re working on!
