Ever wonder whats its like to be a single mom with 2 kids a Dog and run a home day care. Me neither untill I was living it.
So I woke up today and............................
Went down stairs made coffee, drank Coffee, Hunter awakes banging his bottle and screaming, Sigh gone is the quiet morning me time. Its time, here we go.....I go up stairs to find him leaning over his crib with his arms outstretched, I pick him up bring him over to his change table and change him, he tells me he wants bubba and he wants now! Not so bad, could be worse, he could of puked on me or screamed at me. We go down stairs, I make a bubba for him (bottle) , I also make him toast, and berries he looks at the toast and throws it at the dog, Sigh oh well at least I can hold off feeding the dog. I then realise its time to wake Hayden. We go upstairs and Hunter screams as he pushes his way into Hayden's room, Poor kid wakes up to an excited screaming toddler banging on his fish tank. I apologise for his pterodactyl of a brother then I tell Hayden its time for a dog walk. He puts up a min tantrum and says he soo tired, he cant stand getting up early like this anymore. I remind him its only been one day and that he will have a break on Saturday. I think, and I will have a break in 41 days... He huffs and puffs and insists on eating because now he sooo starving, I can do this, stay calm, and give direct statements. I feed him cereal and now Hunter wants cereal, so he gets cereal to, after cereal. We get sweaters and head to the door to load booth boys in the double stroller and attach the dog to the handle we have a peaceful walk by the end Hayden and Hunter are screaming with laughter. I remind them its only 7 am not everyone will laugh with them. I think to myself I can do this this isn't so bad. We get home Hayden gets ready for school, and I wash up breakfast dishes, while stopping the baby from climbing the stairs, or the dog. URG can I put the baby in the dog create and the dog in locked behind the baby gate. I manage to get a call in to Doug to say good morning. I get Hunter dresses and diapered, all the while he is screaming wiggleing jiggleing and trying to stand up, I also get myself.... well I throw on clothes and brush my hair and teeth. I make Hayden's sandwich, and get him out the door and Hunter in the stroller to walk him to the buss. I come back home to feed the dog, vacuum the carpet, set up toys and most importantly by this point make MORE COFFEE. Hunter and I had almost 45 min alone before the kids arrived and we played cuddled and talked. Children arrive we have snack, I now clean all three children to discover its time to change diapers or the dog has to shit. I bring them upstairs change all three get beds ready for nap and tidy up after them, then we go downstairs, clean up the toys get the balls and go for a walk to play ball at creek side base. We head home for me to cook lunch feed the munchkins, what a mess ! now clean the munchkins, I then bring them to their beds do back rubs and silence...............Thank GOD NAP TIME!!!! I then get on the computer deal with clients and moving emails, go down stairs, clean the dishes, and high chairs, take the dog for a pee, pack snacks, water, and extra clothes for the beach. Child one is wakes I get him up change his diaper, give him a drink, cuddle, read, now Hunter awake repeat, now child 3 is awake again repeat. I now realise its time to get ready for the beach, apply sunscreen, dress them for the beach, and heard them down stairs, to pack them in to the stroller with all of their stuff. We head to get Hayden from the buss head to the beach. Where I wish I could relax but I am playing with three toddlers and one 6 year old. Just as I think that one toddler toddles off to the water another seizes this opportunity to toddle off to climb the trees, okay now what trees or water? well water = drowning so water its is. I rescue booth decided its snack time feed all children, clean all children and gather all our stuff pack up and load children in stroller. We arrive home unpack, heard everyone up stairs, change all children, give everyone milk and play, parents arrive say good byes, now its dinner cooking and cleaning time and a phone call to Doug. I cook feed the children OH God! Hunter has applesauce all over him from head to toe and is finger painting it all on his tray, oh and now the floor, and now the Dog (she is tering to lick it off her nose). Okay bath time, I run the bath clean the boys, and get them ready for bed. I go to clean the floor but the dog got it first. I load everyone up and off we go to walk the dog. We are walking by a lake with a dock and their is a live band playing near by. I cant resist a little break we sit and listen to, I kid you not sitting n the dock of the bay. While Hunter flirts with these two old ladies blowing bedtime bubbles and blows them kisses and laughs, and Hayden decides it time to go into the water get drenched from trying to catch minnows. Sigh oh well so much for that bath. We load up for home I get home unload everyone change hunter tuck him in, shower Hayden (again) tuck him in and sit down call Doug say goodnight. Instead of going to clean up the house I sit here and SIGH only 41 more days to go...............
