So, I'm a planner. I like to have a plan, I make list and love check things off. Even more important than having a plan is IF there is a plan/schedule... I have to follow it or my day is ruined, no matter how hard I try not to let it affect me I can't help it.
Anyway, here was my simple schedule/plan I had all laid out in my mind when my alarm went off at 4:45am this morning.
-Get self ready, watch latest weather report, start laundry
-Have K's breakfast ready prior to trying to get her out of bed
-5:45am wake K
-Get her dressed, feed, etc.
-6:15 leave house
-6:45 drop K
-Work a respectable 9 hour day
-Drive to pick up KR
-KR to cheer practice
- Home to finish folding last load of laundry, pick up KRae's room, & run vacuum one last time.
-8:30pm Mom to arrive!
-10pm Reed comes home! Whoop Whoop!!!
-10:30 All my stress be gone because everyone is here and now the little guy can come out whenever he is ready.
Here is what really went down (and yes sometimes minor mishaps throw me for a loop when I'm stressed)
-Get self ready, watch latest weather report, start laundry- Check!!
-As I'm pulling out a pair of maternity jeans I notice a long string, pull it off... no biggy.
-5:45am wake K.. she begs me to stay in bed just a little longer she's exhausted and I feel really bad for having to wake her. I let her sleep 10 more minutes- A little later than planned but Check!!
-Got her dressed-Check!!
-6:15 we were ready to leave the house when K dropped something and I bent down to get it.... I figured out where that string was attached to as my pants ribbed up the back side. Nice! Also this makes a pregnant chick in her last couple weeks feel real great. I should have known that nothing was going to go as planned after this.
-6:20 leave house- Only 5 minutes later so Check!!
-6:45 drop KR- Check!!
This is were things don't follow my plan
-We had auditors in house today and I was put in charge of supervising/coordinating this visit
-Run around at work because of the temps. buh.
-Call from mom that she got a blow out on her car... got it changed but because of the delay in time won't be making it in tonight... bummer but glad she's okay
-End up working over 11 hours (while being punched in the ribs and bladder all day... Baby Bronco was super sweet to me today, let me tell ya!)
-Leave work... out of windshield washer fluid which is not a big deal to you New Mexicans but when it's 14 degrees out and you have snow/slop flung on your windshield it's a good thing to have.
-Find out from Reed that he didn't leave Denver until about 5:30, meaning he won't be in until about 1-2am. This after a very long weekend with little sleep and a long day today. Now I'll be up all night worried about him driving
-Pick up KR and have to explain to her that we missed cheer tonight because I had to work late. Of course I totally blame this on someone else... don't want her to be at ME! She is bummed but not mad at me. Whoop.
-Phone is dead... stupid battery won't hold a charge suppose to have a work cell LONG time ago I don't have a charger in my car (husby took it). Hope we don't get stranded on the side of the road because it's 14 degrees outside did I mention winter sucks and no one would be looking for us.
-Almost hit a huge herd of moose!! Okay, so maybe your right, there are no moose in Nebraska.... and it may have been just one. Small doe. But still she was crazy and scared the crap out of me.
-7:40pm arrive home after 13+hours to two crazy hounds
-Reed comes home! Whoop Whoop!!! FAIL
-Find out Reed's coworker (while Reed was sleeping) drove 85 miles in THE WRONG DIRECTION. WTF. Who does that??? Oh yea think Dumb & Dumber.
-8:30 All my stress be gone because everyone is here super stressed because now I have to worry about Reed driving late at night when he is tired and apparently if the other guy is driving they could end up in Canada vs Lincoln.
This little kid dude better not come out yet.... because I also didn't finish up the last of my chores. My solution. Bed Time for everyone!! Good Night!
