6 a.m. – Baby wakeup call (who needs an alarm clock, anyway? Just have a baby and you’ll never sleep through your “alarm” again)

6:45 a.m. – Parked Gabriel in the stroller and decided to pull weeds from my front flower bed. 
7:00-7:45 a.m. – Took a stroll around the neighborhood in our pajamas, checked the mail
8:00 a.m. – Green beans for breakfast. Maybe it will make him well-rounded.
8:15 a.m. – Bottle
8:30 a.m. – Put Baby G down for a nap
8:30-9 a.m. – Got rebellious and took a nap too
9:00 a.m. – Cleaned the kitchen, made the bed, put together MDO diaper bag and food, started working
10:00 a.m. – Took a shower
10:15 a.m. – Done-with-nap-alarm rang. Got baby up, dressed him, changed diaper, roll around on the floor and had a tickle fight, dropped off at MDO. 
10:50 a.m. – Got home and started working again.
Noon – Stopped for lunch
12:15 p.m. – Started working again
1:45 p.m. – Leave to pick up Gabriel from MDO
And that’s just until now. I feel like the day is just beginning…
2:00 p.m. – Pick up Gabriel from MDO, run by bank to make a deposit
2:45 p.m. – Michael gets home from work
5:30-8:30p.m. – Cocktail party with a client downtown
8:30-10p.m. – Going away dinner and salsa dancing with my boss and Carol, our summer intern

    Actually I had to miss the meetings because I couldn't find a sitter, and I ended up just buying a pair of really cute shoes.

    So I'm guessing you found a babysitter and shoes?

Hi there!

I'm a south Louisiana girl, Catholic wife, writer, speaker, and mother of six. Since I started my blog way back in 2009, life has been a roller coaster of babies, plot twists and a plane crash or two. I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
