A Day in the Life

When your day starts at this hour...
The possibilities are endless!

After my daily devo and prayer...followed by some time of email reading to shake out the cobwebs, I change and head to my happy corner in the house....

I really need to add some color down here....I smell a project!!
I usually throw in a load of laundry on my way by the washing machine (are all moms constantly doing laundry?) and start my workout of the day.  I either try to get in as many miles as possible before either someone little wakes up or it is time to get in the shower, or weights.  Today's workout was BBB upper body workout (Tina is famous for her butt kickings!).  Cardio will come later today.  Then I head upstairs, finish up lunches, and get this baby going....

before it's to the shower I go!

I'm dressed and ready within a half hour....breakfast is always on the go (Pumpkin Chai Designer Whey smoothie!)
 
My commute is about 35 minutes (a little more after getting a speeding ticket oops!) and I then spend the next 6 hours molding the young minds teaching ESL for high school and elementary school.  They are great kids and keep me on my toes...no pics for obvious reasons one being I like my job and would like to keep it.  Posting pictures of students is a certain no no!!

After work I fly to pick up Emma from school...never fails I get stuck behind someone old and not in a hurry (there are a lot of those types of people here!).  A quick play in the school playground with a friend then it is off to pick up chickie #2!  Home again and I'm cleaning out backpacks and planning where to put the ginormous self portrait Em made while the ladies have a snack.  Change of the clothes and we're out back...running around the yard playing "Mr. Fox".

No more crawling for this little lady!  Sad.....
Even Aubs is in on the game...she loves it!!  Wednesdays we head to my inlaws for family dinner and today is a treat because while the ladies catch up with their grandparents, I get to squeeze in my run.

Much better than waiting until 8pm!!!  Plus this weather is awesome!!!  Back home...ladies in bed and hubs and I veg on the couch before I need to start packing lunches and my bag for the gym before I crash into bed.  Gotta rest to do it all again!!!

There you have it....one day in Fancy Nancy Land!

  1. That's early even for me! Yes, all moms are always doing laundry. It's just something you're constantly "throwing" in or out of those machines.
    Have a great day!

  10. holy dedication Nancy!

    I would be a terrible person to be around that early in the morning, and for the entire day to follow. haha! Great job!!

    So, btw, I just figured out that I could have registered for Zooma because my race is this weekend and not next weekend. D'oh. So all my friends are running Zooma and I'll be out on a 16 mile training run alone. So sad. Maybe I should bandit it? hahaha!
