Where to Start-2

• Wake-up (draggggg myself out of bed)


• Shower


• Make coffee


• Ge dressed


• Wake-up Brody


• Prepare breakfast and feed Brody(he eats while watching cartoons


• Finish getting ready(heat up care, finish putting make-up on, dress Brody)

If everything goes as planned I can make it out of my house by 8, if it goes as planned...

• Drop Brody off at daycare


• ETA for work is typically 9

My typical day of work consists of the usual meetings, reading of stupid e-mails, follow-ups to meetings, phone-call follow-ups to stupid e-mails...you get the picture. I can fit in a 4 mile run during lunch and usually some lifting as well. Sometimes-this is not one of those weeks however. I leave sometime after 5-if I am not too busy I will skip at at 4:30 so Brody isn't at daycare as long.

• 5:30 pick up Brody


• 6:00-6:30 Dinner


• I skip clean up so we can play


• 7:30 Brody's bath-time, brush teeth


• 8 p.m. read to Brody in bed and rub his back sometimes for 20 minutes!


• Once Brody is in bed clean up dinner and prepare dinner for the next day


• Get gym bag, lunch ready for the next day


• Laundry, ironing(basically anything that I need to catch up on)


• 11-11:30 I am usually in bed

Did I mention that I wake up around 5:30-6 a.m.?

Glimpse of my day, nothing spectacular, rather normal I assume. It's our rhythm-we have it, finally.

Newness for the New Year!

For starters, I am single again. Yippee! Not really, but I like the idea of getting my checks and balances in place again before I commit to another relationship.



Secondly...I will start to have my son Sunday through Thursday evening every week. That means 5 dinner's a week and breakfasts too...I am scared as hell to do the full-time Mom thing. I know I can do it, I know it is not all about dinner and breakfasts but more about a solid routine for My Lovely Boy. He deserves it. His father(my son's) has committed to having him every weekend, he will pick him up from daycare on Friday and drop him off at my house Sunday afternoon. You see, he FINALLY got a new job..he had a dead end job that was going know where and I am so thankful that he found something. I really hope this is the year things turn around for him...



So anyways-being single, having my son full-time all totally new. I am excited and feel refreshed and slightly hyper at the thought of all of it. WHEW. Deep Breath.



Last but not least I will attempt to post more :)

Happy New Year!
