I've seen a few of these around the blogosphere and they were interesting. Interesting in that how very different our lives our but still center around family and our little ones. So I decided to jump on board, here is my week day edition.
3:53am- First alarm goes off for me so I can get my butt to the gym. I usually snooze this one at least twice
4:15- Second alarm goes off. I snooze this one once
4:25- Finally roll myself out of bed and get dressed, take my pre-workouts and have my spark ready to go with me
4:45-4:50- Out the door headed to the gym
5:00-6:00- M/W is spin/lift
T/TH- Toning/Cardio
Friday- Freaky Friday- meaning whatever J is in the mood for. Sometimes a lot of cardio, sometimes a lot of lifting, maybe more spin.
6:15ish- home and headed to the shower. Matt and Reagan are usually still asleep. Heck even Zoe isn't up yet.
6:45- out of the shower and make-up is done. Attempt to wake the sleepyheads. Sometimes it works other times I have to go back a few times.
7:00- Finish getting ready, pack my lunch, lay out clothes for Reagan, get her cereal and milk ready, keep Matt moving (because he sometimes gets sucked into Thomas the Train with Reagan).
7:20-7:30- Out the door to drop Reagan off at the sitters and head to work.
8:00-4:30- Daily Grind
4:50- Pick Reagan up and head home.
5:00- Figure out what Matt is doing and how late he will be. This answer will depend on the season and how busy he is in the shop. During spring planting, he won't get in till sometimes after 8 or 9. In the winter he is done by 6. Depending on his answer, I will either begin to make supper for all of us or just Reagan and I. His answer will also determine if I get an extra gym sesh in on Monday and Wednesday.
7:30- Supper is over and done, dishes cleaned up, laundry started, maybe some minor cleaning or maybe we go outside and play. Either way about this time a bath happens and PJ's are put on.
8:00-9:00- Little miss usually goes to bed anywhere between these times. If she is extra tired it will be earlier. If she is full of it, a little later.
9:00-10:00- TV time/reading/catching up on social media while Matt usually falls asleep on the floor.
10:00-10:30- Head to bed to do it all over again

Mother's Day & Farming
**I've had this post here since Monday but it just wasn't sounding right to me. Well, better late than never I guess.**
Who ever decided mother's day needed to be in May obviously was not a farmers wife.Therefore, I knew we wouldn't be doing anything fun or exciting on mother's day unless it was raining. If it happened to be raining, every piece of equipment had to be in tip top shape or else the day would be spent in the shop.
The weather was gorgeous so I mentally prepared myself that after mass and breakfast with my family Matt was going to be busy. I was hopeful though that he would at least have a card for me.
Wrong
No card, nothing.
I'm not upset about not getting a gift. I'm not upset about not spending the day together. I'm upset at the lack of acknowledgement of the day.
So when he came in I was folding clothes and I lost it. Tears, blubbering and walking away.
I heard him leave but honestly didn't care where he went. I had laundry to finish before my mom came over for supper (since my dad had to work second shift and my brother wasn't going to be home I didn't want her sitting alone).
I was at the clothesline when he came back with one of those giant cards and a rose. He had that sheepish little boy look on his face and handed me the card. I should have taken a picture of it because his note in there said thanks for always putting up with me and believing in me. we love you love Chase, Chunky, Zoe, Matt & Reagan.
Seriously
How do you stay mad at that? He also gave me a rose (because we have 1 kid) and $25 to Olive Garden that way when Reagan and I are shopping we can go out to dinner.
Ugh he frustrates me, ticks me off and then goes and does something like that.
I do think though that he understood my frustration as to why I was mad. He got it and he made up for it.
As much as he frustrates me, drives me insane I love him.
