Thanks Trace!

Yesterday, before school my sister, Tracey and I were sitting in the playroom watching the kiddos and trying to tame the wildbeast, Callie.  Callie is a beautiful, 20lb, 4 month old golden retriever.  She is a very happy dog and likes to chew on kids toys, nibble on your fingers and jump all over you.  She has come along way since we brought her home when she was 6 weeks old.  However, we are eagerly awaiting her to stop nibbling and jumping.  We correct her countless times but she must not hear us. My kids and husband sometimes have that problem to.  Maybe our house has some type of radio activity that interferes with hearing???? 

Oops I got off the original idea.  Okay, as we were sitting in the midst of chaos we started to have this conversation:

T – Fuck, I do not know how you do it? 

D- Do what I asked?

T – Watch your crazy puppy, take care of your kids, go to school and are not stressed.  Your hubby is hardly around and you manage a shit load by yourself.  Having another baby would be easier then a puppy.

D- Well for fucks sake, I never really thought about it before, I hadn’t had the time.  Now that you mention it I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.  OMG, a kid would be way easier to raise then a puppy.  Hence the nibbling and jumping.  Nevermind the huge shits that I need to pick up 4 times a day outside.  Diapers would be SOOOO much easier and less smelly and messy since they are contained. 

T – You need a game plan.  Pretend you are a mom of quads and map out a schedule of your daily activities.

D – Great idea T, you are my life saver, I will get started on that tommorrow or during school tonight if it is boring.  Gotta go, thanks for watching my 2 kids and 2 dogs.  Love you forever and should there be a next time the eggs are on me.  (there won’t be a next time unless you want another one)

So here is a sample schedule for Tuesday.  Each day is different.  This is a pretty mild day compared to Friday (chore day)

4:30 – 5:30 – wake up and work out (a.m)

5:30 – 6:15 – walk Callie

6:15 – 6:30 – take a shit

6:30 – 7:00 – get ready

7:00 – 7:45 – get my kids up and dressed

7:45 -8:30 - get the kids and Callie loaded in the van and drop them off at designated areas

8:30 – 3:30 – go to work, google the internet, hop on blog land, do homework, take callie out for potty breaks, eat my lunch, etc.

3:30 – 4:30 – leave work, pick up my kiddos at their designated areas

4:30 – 5:30 – make a quickie dinner, eat try and help feed kids

5:30 – 9:00 – go to school

9:15 – home, put Ava to bed if she is still up.

9:30 – 10:00  walk Callie

10:00 – crawl to my bed and go to sleep

THE END………………

  1. that’s a long-ass shit! Maybe K can share her reading list with you, give you something to do those 15 minutes. LOL!

  2. Rachel is right. Seriously..15 fucking minutes? What are you eating? You’re not a very big girl..there’s not room enough for that much poop in there. You need to slow down a bit..take a vacation..TX is nice…..

  3. The time in the bathroom might be the only vacation she gets everyone. it’s where she can hide. I had someone tell me once that golden retrievers finally aquire brains about about the age of 2 years old. I don’t know if I could do the puppy thing. You are brave, and busy.

  4. Tx is lovely this time of year. You bring the kiddoes and we’ll feed them and drive them and entertain them. I know places.

    Miss you!!!

  5. Hey I think you have layed out this plan fantastically. I mean of course it doesn’t take 15 minutes to shit, but, people, you are forgetting that there are the off times when you are feeling sick, or have your period, or just can’t seem to wake up. What about those times??!?!?! If you don’t factor in enough poop contingency time you’ll throw off the whole schedule!!!!!

    I’m with you. THIS shows the talent of a true organizer….
