week in the life: sun april 7

Sunday funday or Sunday scaries? Here’s how the week ended for us:

7:30: I hear LM stirring: she loudly whispers that she wants to play for 30 minutes and I go doze. 

7:50: I’m awake and scroll a little while I let the Mr. grab his last 10 minutes of sleep. 

8:00 (on the dot!): LM throws herself on my bed and lets me know she’s going to talk the Mr. into donuts. 

8:05: I get out of bed use the bathroom. Glasses, hair in a ponytail, moving at the pace of Sunday. 

8:15: The Mr. gets back with donuts. We sit with our coffee while LM eats hers with a show and a bonus OJ he got her. 

8:45: LM heads up for a show in my bed. I clean up the kitchen and then work on my task list for all my mom’s affairs. (Apparently, I was dragging my feet too much because her financial guy has started giving me homework, oof…)

10:15: I head upstairs and organize my meds for the week - the only way I can deal with my “did I or did I not take my meds” anxiety…

10:30: LM and I change into our workout clothes and head to the basement for a workout. She does Lanebreak on the bike and half an Arms and Light Weights with me before she ditches. I finish the strength workout and then do a 30 minute walk. 

11:45: While stretching, I accidentally lay down in bed. Oops, haha!

12:00: Take a shower and pull myself together. 

12:20: Head downstairs for lunch. The Mr. and LM are working on a Lego project, so we end up eating late.  

1:45: I meal prep some falafel-flavor chicken burgers for lunches this week. 

2:30: We watch a documentary ready about pacing the Hardrock 100 race while LM has her snack and my burgers cook. 

2:40: Burgers done and cooling!

3:15: LM goes to watch a show upstairs and I chat with the Mr. while he does some early prep for dinner and I pack up my lunches. 

3:45: We have a family meeting about putting clothes inside out in the laundry basket and consequences. (I should say, we have another family meeting on this topic). 

4:30: The Mr. attempts an orange chicken recipe for dinner. LM protests and we enter our Sunday pattern of whining, sigh. 

5:00: I make LM some nuggets and peas instead. 

5:20: The Mr. and I admit this recipe was the definition of meh, sigh. We all watch some of a videos from The Dodo and are grateful for kind people. 

5:50: The Mr. drives LM to her technique dance class (this is a free class every Sunday night open to anyone on the competition team; we try to go because it makes the cost of dance more reasonable in our heads haha). I go through some of my mail stacks. 

6:05: The Mr. is back. We are both hungry post-meh dinner. I grab some popcorn and a bar and sit down with a book while he does dishes and finishes laundry. (I offered to do dishes but he said no!!) I get the Wordle, NYT Mini Crossword, and Connections done. I beat the Mr. on the Wordle and Mini, but he got me on Connections. 

6:30: We watch the new Pioneer Woman episode from yesterday and then he leaves to pick up LM. 

7:05: I do so much Duolingo and then read some more. 

7:40: LM gets home and grabs a snack. We watch a documentary about a 7 day race in Namibia and then one about running the Grand Canyon (rim to rim to rim). 

8:20: LM heads up to do her Wordle and Duo and read.  The Mr. and I keep watching random hiking things. 

9:05: LM comes to say good night and get some cough meds. I head up to wash my face, bush my teeth, stretch, etc. The Mr. sends me a funny text from the basement (he’s taking out Bella, playing darts, and doing more Duo haha). 

9:45: CSI: Miami (we are so predictable)

11:xx: Sleep!

I did it! A whole week! Thanks for the comments and support. It’s wild to see how I spend my time… A lot of Taskmaster and accidentally falling into bed and LM cuddles.
