Continental Drift: A Day in My Life & a Link-Up

Welcome to another addition of the Continental Drift.  This month we are showing you what our day to day life looks like in each part of the world, and across age groups.  Below is a standard day in my life, it was sort of difficult to keep track of the hours, minutes and what's actually happening in my life to be honest.  Hahaha.  Hope you enjoy the glimpse.  

6:00  a.m.  Dragged myself out of bed finally, even though I had been awake for close to a half an hour.

6:30 am This is a weekly outing with my bestie Amber.  We clocked 7 km by the river and it was beautiful, crisp morning run and it was still light at that hour.  Now it's pretty much dark until 7:30 a.m. so we are running in the darkness of the morning.  

7:30- 8:00 a.m.  Busy morning ritual goes something like this coffee, shower, makeup, hair, and dress.

8:10 a.m. Breakfast & cuddles with Anya before heading out the door.  She even snapped an outfit photo of me before I head out to a PD session.

9:00-11:30 Attended a PD session on the developmentally progression of  phonological awareness. 

11:45 a.m. I picked Anya up for a lunch date at home.  This was in early September and she was just adjusting to the new school and still in the process of making friends.  I tried to hook up with her for lunch to give her a break but the good news is, she no longer wants me to do that because she has made friends and looks forward towards lunch hours and recesses.  

1:30 Epic three hour leadership meeting.  Absolutely exhausted.

5:15 Made it home to make coffee and restart my system for the evening.  I often need to refuel with coffee to make it through the evening.

5:45 p.m. I went to pick  Halie up from the mall.  I was super  annoyed with her for spending her money on Dollarama junk.  Anyone else?  This is something I am trying to work on.  I hate that she spends $ on stupid stuff but do I have a right since it's her money?  She seems to be a horder and also seems to struggle going anywhere without spending her money.  Advice, please!

6:00 Supper.   I am so thankful that I  make supper  the night before and often I make enough to last us tow nights.  This was night #1, so  we had supper already made for the next night too.  No cooking!!!!

6:45 p.m. My family cleaned up supper and I had a quick cat nap.  I do these to still my mind and I do them most days.  15 minutes does me a world of good but I never go more than 15 minutes, or allow myself to actually fall into a deep sleep. 


7-8:30 p.m. Tidy Tuesday. This means  everyone cleans.   The kids attack their rooms, Logan vacuums and I  switched Anya's closet over from summer to fall.  This requires go through her drawers and bring up the next box of her sisters hand-me downs.  We are ready to donate a large bin of clothes that she no longer fits.

8:30 p.m.  Finally it's bedtime for the kids, which means it takes until 9 p.m. before they were actually in their beds.  

9-9:30 p.m.  This is the time I sit down to do some work/catch up on the social media (blog, IG, FB).  I have gotten itno the habit of  setting a timer so I don't get distracted and don't overdo it.  I also enjoyed a glass of wine and got a blog post accomplished (not this one).  

9:30 Picked out my outfit for work and took out my workout clothes for another 6 a.m. workout.  Washed my face, etc.  

9:45 Joined my hubby for a show and to finish off my glass of wine.   Currently watching Suits, Champions & Nashville.  

And that's what my weekdays look like for the most part.    Next time on the Continental Link we are talking all about hosting and holiday planning.  Link-up your own advice or any family friendly topic of your choice with us every first of the month.
