Monday. my dad, Pig and I will pick up K at the airport. Then after my work day is over, we're heading over to the Americana mall to go visit the Santa. Tuesday, K's off skiing with our brother-in-law, D, and possibly my dad. Emo is heading over to the house to sleepover after work. Wednesday, K'll be watching Pig (going to Kidspace) while Emo and I go out and have a girl's spa day out and then he'll be taking me out to dinner for my birthday while Emo and my dad watch Pig. Thursday, my mom arrives so K, my dad and Pig will be heading out to the airport to pick her up and Emo, D and I will work on Christmas dinner at the house. Friday, I'm driving K out to Anaheim for his Christmas present, an hour plus on a jet fighter simulator. Saturday, off to LAX to fly back home to Maryland.
A little glimpse into what the work week schedule has looked like since we got here:
6:00 am - Pig starts rustling in her pack and play. Rustling gets louder as her legs get tangled up in her sleep sack. She sits up and starts playing with her Rainforest crib toy...and it's loud. If we're lucky she poops and we can start the day relieved that the poop of the day is over and done with.
7:00 am - I give up and lift my head up from my pillow and summon the energy to say a cheery good morning. I unzip the sleepsack and carry Pig over to her grandfather's room. Turn on computer in the office and log into work extranet. Lumber into kitchen and mix up formula bottles for the day and line them up in the fridge for my dad. Make mug of tea and head back to office. My dad gives Pig her morning bottle and turns on some kid tv show so that Pig can do her morning dancing.
7:30 am - Check work emails, note the meetings for the day and early morning meetings for the next day.
8:00 am - Pig gets her oatmeal/yogurt breakfast.
9:00 am - Lumber out for breakfast, eat quickly and head back to office. Tuesdays through Fridays, my dad will get Pig ready to go out, diaper change, change of clothes, socks and shoes on. I'll pack up her lunch in her little cooler bag and get it beside front door.
9:30 am - Noon - Work, work, work. My dad and Pig head out to Kidspace.
11:30 - Noon - Dad and Pig are back from Kidspace. Pig gets bottle of milk and goes down for nap...usually.
Noon - Lumber out for lunch.
Noon - 3:00 pm - Pig naps. I head back to office to work. 2:00 pm, supervisors in East Coast are gone for the day, so I get blissful quiet time to catch up on work sans meetings and phone calls.
3:00 pm - Pig wakes up, my dad feeds her a small snack and she plays in the living room.
5:00 pm - Quittin' time for me! Head out of office, play with Pig. Do grocery shopping if necessary.
6:00 pm - Dinner for everyone. Afterwards, weather permitting, head out for short neighborhood walk or go out for drive.
6:30 pm - My dad bathes Pig.
7:00 pm - Bedtime ritual starts, Pig gets into her jam jams, sleep sack, gets her hands washed. I fill up the humidifier and warm up her bottle of milk. My dad and I take turns putting her down for the night.
7:30 pm - 10:00 pm - My dad collapses in front of the tv. I read in the family room until I start to get sleepy and then blearily head over to the room Pig and I share and fall into bed and roll about into I can get Moo in the right sleep position. Goo' Nite!
