Musings - a day in the life

Have you ever stopped and captured your day? I'm frequently amazed at what happens in one 24 hour period. Not that this post will be terribly exciting, but it gives me a chance to capture a single day.

5:45 am Rise and shine

6:00 am Get Josh up

6:20 am Get Victoria up

6:45 am Start waking middle-schoolers, the little boys just get up by default

7:05 am High Schoolers out the door, boy it's cold!

7:06 am Get middle-schoolers breakfast

8:00 am Middle-schoolers on the bus, everyone else ready to leave

8:15 am IEP meeting for Rachel

9:30 am Catch up on messages, emails left, schedule appointments

10:00 am Discuss furnace placement in addition with Jeff

10:30 am Go get Matt for appointment at Gillette

11:30 am Check-in for appointment, see one doctor and orthotist

2:00 pm Call school and let them know appointment went too long. Matt won't be back today.

2:15 pm Check messages, find out PCA is sick. Get a second PCA.

2:30 pm High schoolers home

3:00 pm PCA comes for Vicki

3:10 pm Rachel home

3:15pm Leave for Xcel Energy Center to see figure skating championships - in a SUITE! Tickets provided through Tix for Tots.

4:30 pm Arrive at X. Find our suite.

4:45 pm Watch Senior Dancing championships. Met founder of Tix for Tots! Had a great time in the suite at center ice!

6:45 pm Leave X

7:45 pm Snacks and bedtime for all - well the kids anyway.

8:30 pm Time to recap the day, respond to emails, look at appointments for next day. I'm tired, let's go to bed.

Amazing What a day! Filled to the brim with meetings, appointments, messages and even a free ice skating performance. I've begun to realize of late that if it weren't for the kids I have, there would be MANY things that I would not have the opportunity and privilege to experience.
