A day in the life - Monday

Hi all, long time no blog huh?

I was reading someone's blog the other day and they listed all that they had done all day, and it seemed like a neat idea, since lately I am not sure what I have been doing all day - it sometimes seems like lots of nothing.

So I figured I could also incorporate my To Do list and check things off as they are finished, so that I can see what I have actually accomplished each day.

So without further ado...


7:00 alarm goes off, I go and get Peanut out of J's bed to put her out. I pack his lunch, that I remembered to make last night. I make him an omelet  as he has started wanting eggs each morning. Between his 2 per day and my 2 (sometimes more if I have boiled eggs at lunch), we are using a lot of eggs each week. I wish we could raise laying hens but it is not allowed in this area. Then I go wake him up, and then yell up the stairs at least 3 more times before he actually gets up to eat a cold omelet.


7:30 Next I make my coffee with coconut oil, today I used the blender to make it frothy, it was yummy!



Then to watch Breakfast television until it is time for J to leave for school. During all this K got his things together and left for work by 7:30. J leaves at 7:45. 

I check Facebook and my addicting Hobbit game on my tablet. Spent too much time on the Hobbit game today, you see I have 2 cities in each of 2 world and I have to farm (rob) other cities to get resources to train armies and build my city so I can farm bigger cities for resources...wash, rinse, repeat :P 
Hey I can't let my virtual cities die now can I?!

9:00 Make & eat my breakfast

9:30 Take food waste bag out to garage bin
