Consistency is the Soul of Something-or-other
Hah! I successfully blogged every day this month, sometimes several times a day, in honor of NaBloPoMo. (My calendar thingy says I didn't post on the 7th, but it lies. There was some kind of time zone weirdness.) (Edit: I guess I missed the 26th, but I didn't have a computer available that day.) I liked the discipline of this; I frequently have little things I want to write about, but put it off until it seems silly to bother. I may try to keep up the regular posting at least until the end of the year. I still have some literary-style prompts I want to respond to, so if I haven't gotten to one of yours, hang in there.
And now, a brief timeline of my day:
1:30 am: Woken by Elliot to nurse.
5:30 am: Woken by Elliot to nurse (he's teething).
9:00 am: I drag my sorry ass out of bed. Hubby has fed the kids, and does the same for me (waffles and sausage, yum!).
10:00 am: Start trying to get the kids ready to go to the park.
11:30 am: Finally get everyone out the door. Stop by salon to make an appointment for later.
11:45 am: Arrive at park at the same time as the rain. The park is somewhat covered, and it only drizzles, so we stay. Gillian practices on her rollerskates, and actually gets the hang of them. Elliot enjoys running around. We stash our stuff under the jungle gym, and run (skate) underneath every time the rain strengthens. A good time is had by all.
12:15 pm: We gather our things to leave. The sky opens up.
12:30 pm: We arrive home soaking wet, get into dry clothes, and have hot chocolate.
1:30 pm: Elliot finally naps.
2:30 pm: I remember that Gillian and I are supposed to be at the salon. Luckily, it's close.
4:00 pm: We return home with shorter hair, to find that the men of the family are still asleep.
4:30 pm: rt_hon_rackman and I decide to let Chipotle cook for us. The kids dance to the High School Musical soundtrack.
6:00 pm: Dinner at Chipotle.
7:00 pm: We get Gillian a humidifier shaped like a dragon at Target.
8:00 pm: Jammies, brusha-brushas, and more dancing to High School Musical, as rt_hon_rackman tries to balance Gillian's ceiling fan.
9:00 pm: Both kids are asleep. Time for showers and laundry.
10:00 pm: I start editing text for a PTA flyer that I have to turn in tonight.
10:30 pm: I start this post.
11:30 pm: I go to bed, barring incident.
