List 20 - a day in my life

There is no such thing as a typical day in my life. Each day is quite varied - although I work Monday through to Thursday so there is quite a bit of routine in those days.

So I'm blogging about Friday - days off work. This week my Friday went something like this:

  •  7.00am - up and ready for the day
  • 8.30am - leave to take Hunter to school. We hung around for a bit - Savannah had a play on the playground. We tried to get Hunter's sharing working - which was a video of him dancing - something like the photo below


  • 9am - Savannah and I paid Hunter's school fees, had a chat to some Mums and went home. 
  • 9.30am- Savannah watched playschool whilst I made pumpkin soup
  • 10am - off to Savannah's ballet class - Savannah loves her ballet. She got a certificate this week with 5 stars for different activities she had completed - they are preparing them for the concert. She can't wait
  • 11.10am - after Savannah's ballet class she had a tantrum as I had tiny teddies and not chips for her 



  • 11.30am - off to my parent's house. Mum had picked up my husband from the hospital - he had surgery on Wednesday and discharge was 10am Friday. We couldn't be there then as we had ballet and Mum also has Fridays off work
  • 12.30pm - took hubby home and left Savannah and my Mum's with my sister. Kim offered to look after her so I could get some cleaning done.
  • 1-3pm - I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. I spend 2 hours and at the end of that all I really did was mop the kitchen/living room floor. It took me that long to find the floor. I tidied the whole area. I could do with another couple of kid free days but this 2 hours was a great help and I felt so much better after this area was clean and tidy
  • 3.20pm - picked Hunter up from school
  • 3.30pm - my sister Kim brought Savannah back and her kids had a play with Hunter and Savannah
  • 3.30-5pm - made dinner, had a chat with Kim, lost time somehow!
  • 5.30-6pm - we had dinner, Kim and the kids stayed
  • 6pm onwards - kids bedtime routine - bath, Pjs, stories etc. Tidy up after dinner. Hunter ended up watching Toy Story 3 on DVD so was still awake at 10.30pm. Hubby was in bed as he was in quite a bit of pain. I ended up watching 4 episodes of Grey's Anatomy so went to bed at midnight!

  3. So glad that you get tantrums over nothing too. Ususally we get them over things that she loved until right that second! Ballet is a hot favourite here too. I think Savannah and Scarlett could be a dynamite duo.

  4. I find Miss A is soooo tired after her dance class, a tantrum, or at least very easily upset whiny girl almost always follows! I find myself wondering if it's worth it right now, but she loves it so much.

    1. Savannah loves it too - she can be cranky before ballet, then her teacher says she had a wonderful class, then cranky afterwards - pity I can't keep her in ballet all day!

  5. Glad you got some kid free time, even if it was for cleaning, what a great sister. Hope your hubby is ok.
