A Typical Day

In a previous post, I introduced a new option for you, my readers, to ask me questions, give me suggestions for post ideas and submit prayer requests. 

My blogger friend, Carolynn, asked me to write a post in which I chronicled my typical day. Last summer, I wrote a similar post. But, since my summer days are not anything like my school days, and since I have so many new readers, I decided it would be fun to share a whole day with you.

So, on Wednesday, I took photos, throughout my day, in an effort to capture for you...my typical day.

4:45 am  - Wake up. Change into workout clothes. 30-minute exercise routine on the Wii. 
5:45 am - Look at my style boards, which Shanna created for me, so that I can decide what to wear.
6:15 am - Post shower, pre-make-up photo. (Looking at this photo, now, I am thinking, this robe is old. I bought it before A was born, more than ten years ago. I had never worn a robe before, but it was on the list of "things to pack in your hospital bag" so I bought one.)
6:30 am - Pack lunches. Four of them. Also, this particular day I was actually organized and put dinner in the crock pot before leaving for work. Pork ribs with BBQ sauce. Yum.
7:15 am - My daily bathroom selfie. I take one nearly every day, when I don't have time to have one of my girls take a photo of me outside.
7:28 am - Leave the neighborhood. Headed to work.
7:45 am - Breakfast in the car. Found these BelVita biscuits in chocolate. Who doesn't like chocolate for breakfast?
8:00 am - My rolling cart (aka office) comes out of my car. Time to get the work day started.


8:30 am - Prep for social skills groups, which I conduct all morning. 
12:15 pm - My lunch. Chicken salad with avocado sandwich, white peaches and peach/mango green tea.
3:00 pm - The afternoon is winding down. From this photo, it is obvious that I get very thirsty at work and that I am a multi-tasker.
4:30 pm - Get ready to head home, after filling my car up with gas.
5:00 pm - Pick up the kiddos from my mom's house. 
5:45 pm - Ate dinner. Sorry, no photo. I was more than half-way finished eating when I realized I hadn't taken a photo of my plate. Oops!
6:20 pm - Heading to church to see my E get recognized for her achievements in the Awana program this year.
7:45 pm - Celebrating on the way home from church by stopping for frozen yogurt.
9:00 pm - Watching Dancing with the Stars on my DVR while my hubby was on the phone with AT&T trying to block the number of the crazy person who kept texting me inappropriate photos all day.
9:30 pm - Fall asleep on the couch. Okay, I wasn't asleep...yet. But, it wasn't long after I snapped this fake sleeping photo of myself, that I was actually asleep.

I can't believe someone was texting you inappropriate pics and you didn't share any of them with us...would have fit in perfectly with our lunch conversation :)
