"In my head" reality vs. "I'm a mom of babies" reality...

I'm a planner.

Not a very good list maker... A planner.

I always see how things are supposed to play out in my head.

Things get interesting sometimes when you throw my "fly by the seat of his pants" uber spontaneous husband and I together :) But I'm getting better. Really. I am.                      Really. Really!!! :)

That was a side note.

On to my point... :)

This morning played out in my head like this:

Get up.
Fix husband's lunch.
See husband off to work.
Baby wakes up. 
Feed baby.
Playtime with 2 year old and baby.
Put baby down for a nap.
Feed 2 year old.
Pay bills.
Clean up misc junk around the living room.
Sweep and mop living room floor.
Hopefully continue on to 2 year old's room with the cleaning.
Baby wakes up.
Feed baby.
Playtime with 2 year old and baby.
Put baby down for a nap.
Feed 2 year old lunch.
Time check: 12:15pm
*AND... eat healthy and "lose weight" worthy today!!*

This is how it really played out:

Get out of bed.
Groggily pack husband's lunch.
Get myself a wonderful cup of coffee.
See husband off to work.
Playtime with 2 year old.
Baby wakes up.
Change baby's diaper - it needs it bad.
Feed baby.
2 year old watches cartoons and whines because his belly hurts. ?
Playtime with 2 year old and smiley baby. :) <3
Naptime for baby.
Change 2 year old's diaper and get him dressed.
Give him something for his belly pains.
Get 2  year old and myself a bowl of cereal.
2 year old still whines about belly hurting.
Pay bills.
Stop paying bills because 2 year old has a dirty diaper.
No more whining. Who knew?? :)
Pay bills again. Why is paying bills so time consuming???
Baby wakes up cranky.
Guess bills will have to be finished later...
Hold baby and try to get her happy again.
Feed baby.
Watch 2 year old pull out every single toy he owns and strategically place them in every nook, cranny, crack, crevace, open surface available in the living room. So much for getting that sweeping and mopping done before the toys are all pulled out...
Baby stops eating - not even half done with the bottle???
Baby poops. Alot. It runs out of diaper. Onto mama. O joy.
Change baby.
Baby is happy and smiling and cooing. :) <3
Playtime on the floor with 2 year old and baby. <3
Baby is sleepy - put her down for a nap.
Get 2 year old lunch.
My lunch ends up being a little leftover KFC crispy chicken and a biscuit and some candy corn. Ok. So mostly candy corn. So much for healthy eating and losing weight today!!
2 year old plays with food instead of eating it. What a mess.
Time check: 1 pm.
Still working on getting 2 year old to eat.

The best part? I'm loving my day:) I love my kids and I love being their mom. :)
