A Wednesday in the life of ME!

This is post dedicated to some lovely ladies I met online while pregnant with Rat_boy.

Here is my last 24hours...

Oh first, last the last bit of Tuesday night to lead in...

7pm - Rat_boy in bed, slighty later than normal but no biggie
830pm - Rat_girl in bed, way later than normal she bargain a bed time story for So You Think You Can Dance
930pm - Rat_boy wakes for a quick cuddle and back to sleep
11pm as I'm heading to bed Rat_boy wakes for a small feed and straight back to sleep
1am - Rat_girl arrives in my bed, Rat_boy wakes for another quick feed, resettling didn't work
230am - Rat_boy awake again, just for cuddles
4am - Rat_boy wakes for a big feed and back to sleep

6am - wake with Rat_girl in my bed crying that she misses her dad, Rat_boy is also awake playing in his cot.  Rat_boy has a quick feed (even though he only woke a couple hours before and had a feed) while Rat_girl dresses herself for kindy. 

Kids eat breakfast at the breakfast bar while I run around having my breakfast, doing some laundry, cleaning up, checking bags and lunch boxes, yelling at Rat_girl "put the toys down and eat your breakfast, get back up at the table, stop spilling your food everywhere"

Clean up the kids, don't bother cleaning up the breakfast dishes, dress Rat_boy, feed the dogs, give them some water and the medication, lock up the house...Rat_boy screaming and clawing at my top again, look at time, it's almost 8am where did the last 2hours go! Feed him load into the car for kindy.

830 On the road to the mechanic to the soundtrack of Rat_boy screaming.  Screaming stops as I pull up at mechanic, he fell asleep, hmmm bad timing.  Try to fit car seat ino NanaRats car, lots of swearing involved, move rat_boy into the seat, wake him up, yep SCREAMING!!

915 30mins late check in car for service, lose the plot at them because they say it won't be ready till 3pm...I talk them down to 1pm.

Head to aircon shops, Rat_boy hysterical in the car, sit for coffee and boob umm feed and play.  The groceries.  Rat_boy sat in his pram looking very tired but stayed awake the whole time.

Did some craft shopping, had lunch shared it with Rat_boy.  Fed Rat_boy again as he was screaming the shops down.

He then falls asleep driving back to the mechanics.  Succesfully move him from one car to the other and keep him asleep for the collecion of groceries and the drive home maybe an hour in total, until my street where he wakes up hysterical.  AGAIN another feed as he is trying to crawl into my top.

Unpack groceries while he follows me around screaming, put him in his high chair with some foods to play with...all while screaming!!!  While I continue to put groceries way.

430pm OMG when did that sneak up on me.  Drive (2 second down the road too hot to walk) pick up Rat_girl.  
Home to give the kids dinner, Rat_girl had 2 min noodles and thankfuly Rat_boy had sweet and sour chicken that was in the freezer.

520pm Had enough of Rat_boy's screaming, put him in the bath, Rat_girl eventually joined us!!!

535pm He's lost the plot again, feed him on the bathroom floor while he's nude, wet and in a towel.

by 555pm we're out in the lounge all kids dressed waiting for Alf to start.  My god Rat_boy is still screaming so I just feed him again.

Finally now it's 641pm and Rat_girl is doing her usual fridge raid even though she's already had dinner, Rat_boy is crawling around creating havoc and we're wathcing Full House.

The rest of our night is a play by ear while we wait for Concrete_man to arrive home, at this stage his plane arrives at 730...

NIGHT!!!!
