A day in the life....weekday

Here's a brief run down of a typical weekday in the Peyton household. Hold on to your socks, its really captivating.....

6 am: Daddy literally has to sit mommy up and pull her out of bed and direct her to the shower. Bless him for being so gentle and kind to this sleep-deprived mommy.
6:20: Make coffee and lunches for Jonah, Sadie and Daddy. Feed annoying cat and dog
6:30: Kids start waking up and daddy oversees the dressing of the children and good morning songs.
7 am: Daddy departs for work, mommy prepares breakfast and follows up with "eat your breakfast my darlings" about 35 times. Shoes and socks, sippy cups, lunch boxes, check. off to school, work, and more coffee.
8 to 5: mommy slaves away at work writing reports, chatting with co-workers and secretly doing crossword puzzles. Daddy runs around town looking dapper, citing regulations and blowing up people's skirts (figuratively, of course).
5 pm: Mommy goes to pick up the kiddos from school, chats with teachers and carries all of their miscellaneous crappola to the car
5:30: arrive at the casa, cuddle with daddy, dog and cat. Play, play, play until daddy asks....so, what's for dinner? Mommy promptly says, FOOD. Daddy says yummy and asks if he can do anything to help. This is his southern gentlemanly way of saying, yo I'm hungry woman.
6:30: Dinner's on the table, Sadie's is on the floor, and we are bargining with Jonah about what he should be eating....eat three bites of your pasta, and two grapes, etc. "how was work today honey?"
7pm: Bath time, chase after a naked kiddos and laugh a little booties, jammies and brief pick-up. Milk for little sister and she is out like a light. A little TV and reading for Jo. Daddy acts really sleepy on the couch, Jonah's in bed by 8, then up at 8:05, and 8:14......
8-10pm: dishes, walk dog, jog in the neighborhood (only a couple of times a week), PBS or netflix, maybe a beer or glass of wine. Hit the pillow by 10. adios amigos.

Amen sister. I didn't see anywhere when you watch reruns of Will and Grace and reminisce about your old roommates.
