A Great Day

First babysister for McKenna, first time falling asleep on her own, cutest outfit ever ... and I read a book.

I do not know why, but I am very proud of the day I had today.

• 5:45 a.m. -- McKenna wakes up for first morning feeding.
• 6:15 a.m. -- I dress up McKenna in the cutest outfit yet.
• 6:30 a.m. -- I put McKenna down for a nap.
• 7:00 a.m. -- McKenna falls asleep after crying just a little bit in her crib. Yeah, McKenna!!!
• 7:00 a.m. -- I finish reading Babywise in a quiet house.
• 7:30 a.m. -- I get the diaper bag, Quinn's clothes, breakfast, and myself ready for the day.
• 8:00 a.m. -- I make several trips to the car to make sure everything is ready for us to go after Quinn wakes up.
• 8:05 a.m. -- Still making trips to the car.
• 8:10 a.m. -- I wake up Quinn and carry her to the potty and then to the car. Her oatmeal was waiting there for her.
• 8:12 a.m. -- I transfer McKenna to the carseat and get her in the car.
• 8:15 a.m. -- I pull out of the driveway and call my sister to praise her for being a supermom who has to get all her stuff and two kids to the car in one trip because she lives in an apartment.
• 8:45 a.m -- We arrive at Heidi and Mae's house, and I nurse McKenna.
• 9:20 a.m. -- I leave both girls with Heidi and head to the best Chiropractor ever. I was late.
• 10:30 a.m. -- I pull up to Heidi's house and see her doing chores with my new angel asleep in the cutest baby sling ever.
• 10:45 a.m. -- I pack up the kids and head to Bridget's house after dropping Heidi and Mae off at Heidi's car.
• 11:00 a.m. -- We roll up to Bridget's new horribly ghetto temporary apartment.
• 11:01 a.m. -- We commit to a a few hours with Bridget to hopefully make the pain for the Ghetto-ness subside for a little bit.
• 11:15 a.m. -- I fed McKenna.
• Noon -- McKenna goes down for a nap, but is in and out of sleep of an hour and half.
• 12:30 p.m. -- Quinn asks to go Pee-pee in the potty (as she also did at Heidi's) even though she is wearing pull ups and we never talk about the potty anymore because I am tired.
• 1:45 p.m. -- I accept defeat and feed McKenna again.
• 2:30 p.m. -- We roll on home, and I surrender to a day without a nap for me or Quinn.
• 2:35 p.m. -- Quinn falls asleep in the car.
• 3:00 p.m. -- Quinn totally transfers to her crib and settles into a nap perfectly.
• 3:05 p.m. -- I put the car seat in McKenna's crib and head to my own bed.
• 4:40 p.m. -- McKenna wakes me up. No word from Quinn. I've never been this happy in my life. Best nap ever!!
• 5:00 p.m. -- Quinn wakes up.
• 5:15 p.m. -- Dinner.
• 5:45 p.m. -- I start on the mass amounts of dishes that I piled in the sink. (They were spilling out of sink and on to the entire kitchen.)
• 6:30 p.m. -- We all head to Wal-mart to buy Pull Ups and fruit snacks.
• 7:15 p.m. -- We stop at Lindsay's to pick up a breast pump. Quinn get's lost in Lindsay's massive yard. No worries. I found her.
• 7:30 p.m. -- Time to nurse McKenna again, so I settle Quinn down with a show. (She is already in her P.J.'s from this morning!!)
• 8:05 p.m. -- Daddy's home!
• 8:45 p.m. -- I put McKenna down for a nap.
• 9:00 p.m. -- McKenna is asleep and Quinn is mostly on her way to dream land.
• 9:05 p.m. -- I release my stress by writing this here blog post.

A note about my dishes: You might not be the kind of person who searches through her dirty dishes looking for a fork that is clean "enough" to use ... but I am that kind of person. As I looked for my dinner fork tonight, I couldn't help notice that every utencil was covered with the remnense of mint brownie. He, he, he. So I just used one of them to top off the box of brownies, so that will not be a problem tomorrow.
