#onedayhh: november 14, 2022

 i've written about #onedayhh (one day hour by hour) many times on here. this year was the 10th anniversary of the social media challenge where you share a picture of each hour of your day. i've done it probably 6-7 times over the past decade. i almost always turn it into a blog post and i love going back and seeing what an average day was like for us on any given year. especially when i'm reminded that i used to do crazy things like wake up at 5am to pump breast milk. ha! here is a rundown of our day last monday:

{7:00 am}

 for some reason i was wide awake at 6 am, but laid in bed til almost 7. i do like to get up before the kids to (hopefully) have a quiet 30 mins or so to eat breakfast, drink my coffee, and take care of some dishes before they get up. thatcher was up with me this day and the kids rolled out of bed around 7:30. 

the next hour was spent making their breakfasts, packing their lunches, making sure they are dressed/teeth are brushed, breaking up some fights. and throwing on some workout clothes myself. 

{8:30 am}

 

this is the first year that i don't walk anyone to school anymore. it's been a big change. azalea walks with simone about 5 blocks to their middle school, and ashford walks the 1/2 block to his school. he hangs out on the playground with friends until the bell rings. 

{9:15 am}

 

i work on my bookkeeping work in my very quiet house! thatcher went to the office (he goes in anywhere from 2-4 days a week). i always try to get most (if not all) of my work done in the morning, so it's not hanging over me all day. but i often have to check back later about the bank deposit. 

{10:30 am}  

i try to go to the gym on mondays (and wednesdays and fridays) but that doesn't always happen. but i love this time to just focus on myself. it's a great stress reliever.

{11:35 am}

 

i'm finally showered and dressed for the day!

  {11:50 am}

i made myself a fried egg sandwich for lunch. i'm always starving after working out! 

{1:05 pm}

 

 

it's back to work time. i love sitting by this window in the fall when the leaves on our birch tree have turned. 

 

{2:15 pm}

 

 

i do laundry every day....and i still have laundry to do every day! doesn't seem fair ;) 

 

{3:00 pm}

i'm sneaking in an episode of 'the crown' (season 5) before school pick up time. 

{3:35 pm}

 

 

we are back from school (i pick him up). he's always hungry when he gets home. scrounging for a snack! azalea is on her walk back.

{4:15 pm}

 

 

most days we have at least one extra kid at our house after school (or the kids go to a friends') but today is neither. it's kinda nice. they always want to play roblox when they get home, so off they go to do that. 

 

{5:30 pm}

 

we need to eat an early(ish) dinner tonight because i have a pta meeting at the elementary school at 6:30 pm. spaghetti it is! 

{6:50 pm}

 

 

the meeting goes from 6:30 - 8pm. it's productive, but i'm antsy to get home and put my pajamas on. haha! 

 

{9:30 pm}

 

after i got home, i helped put the kids to bed. then it was pajamas and reading in my cozy bed. love this part of the day.

thanks for following along!
