Daily Routine Update

I just read my daily routine blog on Oct 31. Boy have things changed. I know it's only been 6 weeks or so, but it doesn't take long to have a whole new routine around here.

6:30am- wake up and take a shower, get ready for work.
7:30am- Christian wakes up singing in his crib. Change his diaper, slather with lotion, change into clean clothes, feed bottle, put in bouncy seat, pack diaper bag, let Jake outside, start the car, let Jake back in.
8am- Load Christian in his carseat and get everything and everyone into the car.
8:05am- On the road to the sitter's.
8:15am- Arrive at sitter's, drop off Christian, chat for a minute, head to work.

work work work

6:15pm- Arrive at sitter's to pick up Christian, chat about the day, head home.
6:45pm- Arrive home, eat dinner, hang out for an hour
7:45pm- Prepare a bottle, change diaper, slather with lotion, change into pjs, feed Christian
8:15pm- Put Christian down for the night
8:20pm- Do laundry, dishes, watch tv...whatever needs to be done.
10:30pm- Head to bed. zzzzzz
6:30am- Repeat.

Now doesn't that sound so much more fun? My days off are much more fun...we get to hang out and play all day. Oh, and run a few errands too.

So Many Places

There are so many places to go and so little time to do it. Do I just go by myself? Is traveling with an infant fun??? Especially all alone. Should I fly? Should I drive?? These are the tough questions when you have almost 4 weeks of vacation and your husband only has 1. Especially since the 1 week he has is already going to be used up on a family reunion. Oh what to do..what to do? Maybe I will just not go anywhere, but that is no fun. Or maybe I'll just take long weekends and then it won't be such a big deal. I'm sure we'll figure it all out..there is still time. Or maybe Chip's crazy Aunt Maren will want to fly to CA with them for a couple days??? I know..it's a stretch. I just had to throw that in as an option.
