My day starts at 4am when my alarm goes off and I hit the snooze at least 4 times. At about 4:12am I realize that I must get up or I'll risk being late to work. So I stumble off to the bathroom trying to be quiet so I don't wake my boys. Sometimes I take a peek at Samuel to make sure he's still under his blanket.
Once in the bathroom I attempt to make myself presentable while keeping my eyes open. Once dressed it's time to make breakfast. Sometimes it's really hard to eat at 4:30 in the morning but I make something edible. This morning it was grilled cheese in Tyrone's new Sandwich Maker. During breakfast I check my Facebook even though the only posts to read are the two people that are already at my store. One last peek at Samuel and I'm out the door. If I time it right I'm in my car and heading down the street at 5am.
Once at work it's time for an Americano or hot chocolate. I love the perks of working at Starbucks, Free Coffee! Then at 5:15am I clock in and begin work. Working at Starbucks is fun, I get to talk to people, make drinks and work with cool people. I only work till 10am and then head home.
At home my boys are waiting for me, sometimes with breakfast. Somedays it's Pancakes, Samuel and I both love pancakes. Eating breakfast with both my boys is often the highlight of my day. We don't always get to eat dinner together but breakfast is a sure thing.
After breakfast it's playtime. I try to tire out Samuel so he'll sleep hard during his nap. We play cars, read books, play chase, and throw balls. Once he's thoroughly tired it's nap-nap time. So we both take naps. If I'm lucky Samuel will sleep for 3 hours, and so will I.
After nap time is lunch time. Yes we are kinda of weird breakfast at 10am and lunch at 3pm. Samuel and I eat lunch and lounge. Then it's play time again. Sometimes we workout on the Wii. Samuel loves to workout, he can do hip circles, lunges, arm stretches, heel lifts and the cutest push-ups.
After our workout we play some more or read books. Then it's time to cook dinner. Samuel likes to help by playing with his kitchen toys. I gave him a drawer in the kitchen to keep certain toys.
Sometimes Samuel is my only dinner date. Tyrone works late on Mondays, some Wednesdays and Thursdays. After dinner it's bath time. Samuel loves bath time. Then bedtime routine at 9pm.
After Samuel in bed it's clean up time. I try to accomplish as much as I can in about an hour so I can be in bed by 10pm with Ice Cream. Current flavor is Moose Tracks.
Asleep by 11pm and start the whole thing over again.
