A Day in the Life....

Someone asked me to write about a day in the life of the Fitts Family...so here it goes...

Our usual day lately starts at 6:15 when we all get up, I get in the shower and Dan gets the boys dressed and downstairs for breakfast.  Jack usually takes a little time to wake up and needs a little coaxing.  Mason is up, out of bed, dressed and downstairs without any direction from us.  He is our morning person...the only morning person in the house!

6:15-7:05:  Breakfast, allergy drop, review anything that Mason might be having a test on that day, wet his crazy hair so that it will not look completely wild and try to brush it down as much as we can.

7:05:  Boys get on the bus and I leave for work.

7:05-anywhere from 7:35 to 8:05: commute to work.
During that time Dan is doing odds and ends for me around the house (unloading dishwasher, taking trash out, doing other cleaning/straightening, and sometimes sleeping).  He leaves for work around 8:30.

8:00 - 4:30:  Work

4:30 - 5:00:  Drive to after school care to pick boys up.

5:15 - 5:45:  (here is where it gets crazy so hang on y'all!)  Arrive home, rush in and fix a heavy snack for the boys (sometimes a corn dog or cereal or an egg or PB&J), change my clothes, change Mason into his football gear, pack cooler for football practice, do a little bit of homework, run out the door.

6:00-8:00 Football practice (this is every weekday but Wed)

6:00-7:00 (some nights) Baseball practice for Jack
If Mason has practice and Jack does not, Dan will meet us at the Football field and we tag and I head home with Jack to make dinner.

8:30:  Mason and Dan get home, eat some dinner, finish homework, shower, read a little bit and fall into bed around 9:30.  Earlier if we are lucky!

Dan and I are like two ships passing in the night.

In addition to all of that, Mason also has Cub Scouts 3 times per month, I am the pack treasurer so I have pack committee meetings once per month and of course my Bunco once per month (very important that I don't miss that).

This Mom falls into bed at 10:00 and tries to get a good nights sleep to start it all again in the morning.
