I saw that a few people are doing a Day in the Life posts on their blogs, so I thought I would do one. I have done a few before...I know I did one in the summer, and one this time last year. The day that I chose to do it was on Tuesday, January 29. So, without further ado...here goes! Brace yourselves, folks...it was one EXCITING DAY...NOT!
7:05 AM: Wake up...I HAAATE mornings! To me, mornings shouldn't start until 9 am! Ha! I have 3 alarms set on my phone....6:30, 7, and 7:30. I try to wake up (meaning, look at my phone to start the wake up process) at around 7.
7:05: I play on my apps to help me wake up. I know this isn't healthy, but it helps...really.
I continue to check IG, FB, and I will usually check the weather.
7:06: I read my Bible verse of/for the day.
7:18: I chat with my sister, Vienna on What's App. We always have this continuing conversation going on. We never really say good bye :)
7:25 AM: I get dressed...My order of what I do changes daily....but I think I got dressed first (probably after my morning bathroom/brush/pin my hair routine). I choose pants from
Penningtons, and a blouse from I don't remember where!
7:32 AM: I say good morning to Kitty. Calico knows our routine pretty well. She loves her pets! She gets up on her cat stand in the morning (or whenever she needs) a pet.
I also grab a coffee. Anker is amazing and making coffee for me (ok, us) in the morning. As much as I talk about Starbucks, I actually don't go there in the morning that often. I mostly get my morning Joe from our house. However....see, a few posts below.
7:33 AM: I get my lunch together. I am terrible for not making it the night before. However, as this day, I have hot lunch at school, I only need to bring a snack, so it is minimal prep in that department. Also, I have no clue on how families get out in the morning (whether or not one or both work outside the home), as I can barely get myself up and out the door in time, let alone 1 or 2 more other humans.
7:35 : I slap on some make up. (Please note, this was the last time that I actually have worn the stuff) I tend to rather sleep, then spend the extra few minutes it takes to put on make up. True story.
Today, I put on
Avon eyeliner and eye shadow, and
Beautycounter mascara.
7:44: Anker has been a dear, and started the car for me. I don't end up scraping the windows, b/c #lazylife.
7:45: I leave a bit early. b/c I decide to go to
Starbucks to grab some coffee for my teacher and I, because #coffeeislife. I am listening to
Chris Tomlin this morning, and I eat a banana on my way to work.
8:00: I grab us each a coffee. I get a white mocha.
8:15: I get to work, and I start on the prep for the day. We usually talk about our previous evenings (or weekends), and what the plan is for the day. I am so blessed to have worked with the same teacher for 3 years. We get each other :)
8:30-10:00: Work with the kids; Usually on Tuesdays, we do devotions, sing, and we work on spelling words and I work with some students on their printing.
10:05: Recess time :) I have carrots, pumpkin seeds, almonds and an orange. I just sit and relax and chat with my friends in the staff room.
10:25-12:00 : I switch to a different class for this block, and we do art. I say hi to the fishies as I pass by (our school is raising CoHo Salmon).
For the first period of art, the class has a popcorn party (they finally got enough points do what they wanted, and they wanted a popcorn party!)! I wasn't sad about it. For the second block of art, I am reunited with my class, and (I think!), we do some drawings based on
Karla Gerard
12:00: Lunch. Twice a week, our school has "hot lunch", and I order it sometimes. Today, it is lunch from
Señor Froggy. Yum!
12:30: The kids each lunch, and I do some notes, etc.
1:00: After lunch, the kids start in on a map of Canada.
I decide to do one, too :) The kids can't have all the fun :)
1:30-3:00: We finish up the school day. I think the kids did some quiet reading until 2:30, and then we said good bye until tomorrow.
3:00-3:30: I help my teacher move some stuff around, so I don't leave school until about 3:30.
3:30-4:30: I run some errands. I get mad at the bank (long story), so I decide to forgo my library time, and I just come home.
4:45: I come home, and I decide to do dishes. Anker has already started dinner, so that makes me happy!
6:15: I figure out if I need to do laundry that evening, or if it can wait for another day or so. I find clothes that I can wear for work, so laundry gets delayed.
6:30: I make potatoes and veggies to go along with the chicken.
I even make sure that some gets put into my lunch for the next day! Go, me!
6:30: I sit with Anker, and I watch the news. I remember why I don't watch the news.
I also pretend this is wine.
I had hoped to get a post written out for mental health day, but I never did (as it is now Feb 17!).
7:00: I try to decide if I am going to back out to the library, or if I am going to stay home. I end up staying home and having a bubble bath, with an old issue of
Guideposts.
8:00: I make some calls. I think I called my mom, my aunt, and my cousin. Just so I have (low) noise, I put on Friends that is on TV.
8:30: I hang out on social media, while I watch TV.
10:00-10:25 (approx). I get ready for bed, and set up FRIENDS, and and play on my phone as I go to sleep. Yes, I realize that I wake up and play on my phone, and play on my phone and go to sleep :) Bad habit, I know.
So, there you have it! It is also Feb 17...nearly a month since I documented it with pictures, and a few weeks since I started this post. I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my life. Oh, I should say that while I am at work, Anker hangs out at home; he knits, he does puzzles, and sometimes some projects. In the evening, he will watch tv in the living room, while I hang out in our bedroom. Yes, we are weird, but it the way we are, and we are (mostly) ok with it!
