Week in the Life 2012 {Monday}

I'm embarking on something new for this week.  It's kind of like A Day in the Life I did back in February, but I'm doing this for a whole week! Ali Edwards is hosting this over at her blog, so jump over here for more info!

So here is how our Monday went:

1:30am (ish):  I woke up at to Julie crying.  She needed her milk.  I got her to bed really quick but didn't fall alseep until it was after 2am!

7:50am:  Woke up to Julie crying again.  This time she's up for good!  I went to get her and here she was laying all dejected and sad.  She always acts like she's been abandoned if we don't get her immediately.

[[posterous-content:pid___1]]8:15am:  I finally round everyone up for bathtime!

[[posterous-content:pid___2]]And when I got Julie out of the tub, she insisted that she have her bottle NOW!

[[posterous-content:pid___3]]Breakfast time! (As Jax would say.)

[[posterous-content:pid___4]]10:00am:  Afterwards, I finally got ready.  And then I needed to head to the store.  We were out of milk (I seriously think it would be easier if I could just own a cow.  Those kids go through milk like crazy!) and I needed to go to the library.

One problem. 

I couldn't find my keys.  You see, my keys had been missing since Saturday.  The kids and I got the mail.  And when we came back home, Julie got a hold of them and set off the car alarm.  So I threw them up on the couch so she couldn't reach them. 

Imagine my surprise when I couldn't find them later on Saturday.  Or the day after.  Or today.

Annoyed, I took off the couch cushions, looked under the couches, and behind the curtains.  Nope.  They were gone.  I can only imagine what the kids would have done with them.

During this search and rescue mission of my keys, Jax got the hair-brained idea that the couch cushions could be turned into a slide.  He would get on top of the couch and slide down, saying "Wheeee."  (You would think that we didn't own a slide in our backyard.)

I gave in and just used Justin's keys and got us some milk.  I skipped the library since my library card is on my key ring.  And I was just a little stressed out that our mailbox key was on there as well.  Would we ever be able to get the mail again?!? (Drama, drama!)

Anyways, I gave up looking for them and made lunch.

Speaking of real drama, I had to make lunch while enforcing time-outs for Jax.

How cute is Julie?  She always joins him in time-out. 

11:30am:  "Lunch Time" (as Jax would tell Julianne.)  And Justin leaves for work.

[[posterous-content:pid___7]]12pm:  My 2nd favorite time of the day...nap/quiet time! 

[[posterous-content:pid___8]]

Or Swagbucks earning and blogging time for me!

1pm:  Start up laundry.  Our dirty laundry have taken over the laundry room.  It's time to start the machine up!  Jax gets out of quiet time and hangs out with me.

[[posterous-content:pid___9]]

2pm:  My compuer dies and I don't have a battery cord.  I have to wait for Justin to come home with his.

2:40pm:  Julie is up!  This is when I finally start my morning routine.  (You know, vacuuming, dishes, making beds...etc.  It's been a hectic day!)

3:00pm:  I am still annoyed I can't find my keys.  I see the mailman drive by and we could really have something important in our box (ha!) and I can't get in.

So, I start in Jax's room.  I KNOW one of the kids had my keys.  I clean out the bottom of Jax's closet.

[[posterous-content:pid___10]]No keys.  And now Jax is missing a blue flip flop as well?  How does one lose a shoe?!?

Do I have a black hole in my house?

Next stop, under Jax's bed. 

[[posterous-content:pid___11]]Hallelujah! 

(But why were they under Jax's bed?!?)

Now that my mission is done, I play with the kids.

4:15pm:  Time to start dinner.  Since Justin is at Session tonight, we will be having pancakes and eggs.  In other words, "brinner."

[[posterous-content:pid___12]]

5:00pm:  We finally eat!  It took a long time.  Because this little girl, wanted me to hold her the entire time I made dinner.

[[posterous-content:pid___18]]

After dinner, we clean up, get the mail, and take the trash can to the front yard for trash day tomorrow.

6:00pm:  The I decide to clean out the ottoman.  The toys are out of control![[posterous-content:pid___14]]

Jax and Julie take it to mean that its time to play with the toys that I'm trying to organize.

Jax finds a doll brush and wants to do my hair. 

[[posterous-content:pid___15]]Lovely.  I think he should stick to the career goal of a fireman and rockstar instead.

7:15pm:  I put Julie to bed.  She was so tired.

7:30pm:  Bedtime stories for Jax!

[[posterous-content:pid___16]]8:00pm:  Jax is in bed!  Time for me to edit photos and play on the computer.

8:30pm:  Justin is finally home!

10:30pm: Folding my last load of laundry and then I'm finally getting to bed!

And here are my official Week in the Life sheets that for Monday.
