My Day

2am: Go to sleep after spending way to much time on the computer (stupid, stupid, stupid)
10am: Wake up and feed kids, nurse baby, dress kids, talk to sis on phone, find necessary coupons for today's shopping
11:30am: Start getting kids in car
Noon: Arrive at Wal-Mart to get oil-changed
1:15pm: Pick up car, Jacob's still asleep, kids doing OK
1:30pm: Get lunch at "Old McDonald's"
2:15pm: Arrive at Costco
3:45pm: Get back to car after much whining and chasing, Jacob has fallen asleep again (thank you!)
4:00pm: Arrive home, put food away, change diapers, send kids downstairs to play, feed Jacob
5:00pm: Do dishes that weren't done all weekend, tidy up a little
6:00pm: Make and eat dinner, feed baby again, change Kierra again
7:30pm: Realize that Jeromy is not going to be home in time for me to go out again on a necessary shopping trip, start getting kids in car, top Jacob off
8:04pm: Drive by Staples (to use my $10 off anything $10 or more coupon that expires today) and read the sign on the door that says it closed 4 minutes ago
8:15pm: Arrive at Smith's to get prescription and deli meat deals, etc., deal with MUCH whining and yelling and hitting
9:15pm: Go to checkout with a screaming 4-year-old, crying 5-month old, and a scared 2-year-old, try to convince the checker that yes, I did buy that item so just scan the stupid coupon!
9:30pm: Get the kids and groceries in the car and pace the freezing cold parking lot talking on the phone with hubbie to calm me down before getting in a car of unhappy children (okay, child- betcha can't guess which one!)
9:45pm: Talk with Audrey and leave for home
10:00pm: Get home, unload kids and food, start getting kids ready for bed
10:15pm: Jeromy gets home and finishes putting kids to bed, feed and change Jacob
10:45pm: Have snack with Jeromy (who hasn't eaten dinner yet)
11:00pm: Jeromy goes to bed, I feed Jacob to sleep
11:15pm: Check email, blog, try to see straight
Midnight: Hilary, just go to bed already!!

I hate those crazy days! (albeit yours are much more insane with 3 instead of 1) . And I'm also glad I'm not the only one staying up to late on the computer!

Wow. You were brave to attempt shopping (coupon shopping to say the least) with 3! I just don't do it anymore with Cal gone all the time. I'd rather eat leftovers or food storage than hit wal-mart with all 3. :) Interestingly, I spend way less 'cause I'm not always out browsing if you know what I mean. Though I doubt you did much browsing that night. :)

Well, I can definitely relate!! I hate taking the kids all shopping, but sometimes you just have to! I did it just the other day and when I got home I was so warn out! Sometimes it seems like those type of days are happening too often! I have been enjoying staying up late on the computer--but you are house-looking right? That's something you have to fit in (looking up homes on the computer)! We are selling now so that we can house-look. I don't want Jon to be gone so late all of the time. Good Luck with everything!
