It's a lot when you write it all down....

I'm sitting in the computer room off the living room and all I hear are carrots hitting the floor one by one...... Meal times are such a joy these days.

So, anyway, just watched the new Rock of Love and it's on the brain so I just want to say:

Bret, what the F are you doing!?!? Why the hell is Lacey still there? She's psycho and plucks my last nerve and I hate her. I'm starting to lose respect for you. Like I had any to begin with. But you are hot.

Ok. Sorry. It just went off so my emotions are fresh. And I need a life.

Today has been productive, I think. I have not even set foot outside. I think I'll make a list of everything I have done so far today just to make sure I'm not a lump.

  • Wake up by Stella @ 7:30 am
  • Get her up, change diaper, let her crawl around on our bed for a few minutes while wishing with all my might that I could go back to sleep.
  • Realized that was a pipe dream and took her in the living room.
  • Made a pot of coffee and made her breakfast (eggs & cheese - for the first time -and pancakes)
  • Got her in her highchair and played waitress to Miss Thing.
  • Cleaned up lots of egg and cheese from the floor. (eggs and cheese = unsuccessful)
  • Made my cup of coffee and listened to Toby bitch about how our computer has a virus and is f'ed up.
  • He left to go to Home Depot so while Stella was eating, I purchased McAfee Virus protection and installed it and scanned the computer. (This ran for 2 hours.)
  • Cleaned up the highchair - trays, bib, and seat.
  • Cleaned up Stella. Put her in her jail (Superyard) with all of her toys and Micky Mouse Clubhouse on the TV.
  • Toby goes outside to cut the grass and to water the yard...talk to the neighbors...takes a new door we purchased over there to get measured so we can put it up in the house soon...
  • While he's gone doing outside stuff, I:
  • Unloaded and loaded the dishwasher (this involves putting the dishes AWAY - some people don't do that. cough cough)
  • Put chicken and enchilada sauce in the crockpot in prep for 2 batches of Chicken Enchiladas I am making this evening (one for my aunt who had a baby, one for our good friend who was in a car accident and is recovering)
  • Ate an Uncrustables while doing all this.
  • Ran my clothes (that had been sitting in the dryer) through the 20 min dewrinkle cycle for the 3rd time.
  • Scrubbed the tub and shower with Mr. Clean Eraser.
  • Cleaned the rest of the bathroom with Lysol wipes.
  • Swiffer vacuumed the downstairs, Swiffer Dusted the downstairs.
  • Hung up and put away all of my clothes from the dryer. Realized my drawers are a friggin nightmare so I rearranged them while putting away clothes. (And ended up with a pile of raggedy t-shirts for the trash!)
  • Took all of Stella's Fall/18 mos clothes out of her closet and put them all into a large tub in my coat closet for the future. She's set!! (AKA: Stop buying her more stuff, Stephanie.)
  • Rocked Stella to sleep for her nap. She went right away. (I love rocking her - it's the best.)
  • She slept for 2 hours.
  • While she was asleep I:
  • Took a shower and got dressed and put on a tad bit of make-up to look presentable.
  • Walked around the house and measured windows and my 2 closets so I can go to Big Lots and look for valences, blinds, and some sort of "arrangement" to hang on my closets (we do not have doors)
  • Made Big Lots and BJ's lists for whenever I get a chance to go.
  • Balanced checkbook and got deposit ready for tomorrow.
  • Fixed my lunch. (WW Sante Fe Rice and Beans)
  • Ate and watched Rock of Love - Toby comes in at this point and of course makes fun of my TV choices. Who can blame him? I make fun of myself....
  • Stella wakes up and I get her from the crib and into highchair for lunch.
  • Fix her lunch of hashbrowns, a pancake from breakfast, and aforementioned carrots.
  • Make pot of coffee and partake.
  • Try to blog for a minute...it is now 2:04 pm.
And it's not even halfway over!!

So, I think I have been pretty darn productive. The next time I start to feel bad about myself and give myself guilt trips for not going to the gym, I am going to read this.

I ROCK.

Off to clean carrots!!

Holly molly I think that is a lot! You worked your asss off! Can I ask why you wake her? Is it because that is her schedule for the week too? I have been having to wake Tatum too ... it isn't fun!

Oh no! I never wake her up. She gets up. Maybe I should have said "I was woken up by Stella at 7:30." I did have to wake her up yesterday afternoon as she had just fallen asleep at Mom's and we had a dinner to go to at 6pm but she woke right up and started playing and laughing. I'll say it again: I AM SO LUCKY.
