Day in The Life of A Stay At Home Madre

Today I am going to document a day in the life of a Stay at Home Momma. I want to film it and post it to my YT channel, BUT with no film editing equipment it would turn out ridiculous. SO I will keep this tab open on my computer and just write as my day progresses, who knows how it will turn out?

5:00 AM:
Zoey wakes us up by barking insistently at the bedroom door, thinking we are under attack due to the A/C turning on, which causes our door to open by itself. Thus, waking me up and not surprisingly Henry as well, yet my husband slumbers along in deep sleep land....GRRRR! I had just gone back to bed after getting up at 3AM to pump and trying to keep Henry asleep after he woke due to hearing ME wake up...LONG night needless to say.

5:25AM :
I get up huffy and puffy, pick up my stinker of a lil boy and carry him into the kitchen where I prepare one of his bottles simultaneously starting a pot of coffee, My sweet husband, follows me out a few moments later, fixes my cup of coffee and gives me a kiss and hug trying to make me feel better....it did :)

6:00AM:
Henry plays on his playmat until he falls asleep on it (YES! SCORE!) Kev is getting ready for work, and I am watching taped shows, surfing the net. Realize that Henry crapped his pants, so much so that he has ruined his outfit...change him and pray he doesnt pee on me while I clean poo that has creeped all the way up his back lol.

6:30AM:
Kev leaves for work, I put Henry back to bed, and start writing this blog, also I start uploading a make-up video on YT that probably wont be viewable to public until late afternoon (hate that about YT).

7:00AM
I am about to go clean my breastshields and bottles, get some aqua and start pumping...then hopefully manage to get some towels out of the dryer without waking Henry and take a quick shower before he wakes up for his next bottle...

8:00AM
I made it! pumped, showered and watched one whole taped show. Now onto drinking the rest of my coffee, eating a deeelish Oats'N Dark Chocolate granola bar, and watching the Today Show :D
talked to jess on the phone while taking zozo outside- she pissed in the house for the 3rd time in two days (i think she might have a bladder infection) Henry took a looong nap that I know he needed (and thank goodness b/c i needed some me time)

9:00AM
Henry woke up peacefully from his nap, feeding him a bottle while typing this, got to change his diaper and then go call the vet about Zozo, and then call KY court of clerks about my stupid car taxes (they have to send me some paper work about my property taxes due on my old car we sold last year that they think i still owe on and i dont) still uploading YT video, and just thought of some good ideas for more videos that i will tape today if i get time.
As i burp Henry he pukes all over myself and him...change of outfit numero dos for him and uno for me! yay... what a great day it has been in Zee House of Clouse today! lol...
update: I went to give Henry a kiss, he puked on my face...thank goodness I hadn't changed his outfit just yet...did I mention its merely 9:36AM?? yes, yes, the day for most people has yet to start and mine is already a shit show!

10:00AM
Called Vet, Zozo has an apportionment this afternoon that will probably cost the same amount as a good coach purse. Brats...stupid Vets make so much money they could retire after seeing only a handful of sick animals. We've already spent $300 on her this month because she was behind on vaccinations. Times/Days like these I wish I could drink my sorrows, but I am allergic to alcohol and I dont smoke, I can't eat chocolate (yes I know I said I ate a chocolate granola bar earlier but it didnt contain milk) because I cannot eat milk due to Henry's milk allergy...What's a girl to turn to?!?! Faith...I guess I will just have to pray my way through today....

11:00AM
Took zozo out again, trying to drain her bladder, feeling really bad for her now b/c she is acting like she is in pain, and being a female myself I know the pain of a UTI :(. Henry went down for another nap. He played on his mat and in his jumperoo but quickly became over stimulated and earned some shut eye. I talked to my madre and my grandma.

12:00PM
Cleaned some bottles and my pump parts, stored/froze 30oz of milk for Mothers Milk Bank of Ohio, hoping to store at least 20 more ounces by the end of the day. Set some meat out for dinner and folded some laundry, finished uploading my make-up vlog and started uploading a video of Henry from last night. Now I am pumping, hoping Henry doesnt wake up yet so I can get at least 10oz out, also hoping zozo doesnt pee in the house again..

1:00PM
Henry is still sleeping peacefully, Ive uploaded a video of Henry playing in his jumperoo on YT and answered/asked some questions on Formspring (find me at Clouseable). Ate some lunch, yummers, now going to attempt to get my makeup put on before Henry wakes up...2 long naps today, Im telling you this is UNUSUAL! He is usually up all day/afternoon but I guess since last night with sicky poo Zozo he needs to catch up on his beauty sleep. Hoping Kev gets to come home early from work today if it is slow at the office but looking like he might just get home on time, which is still splendid.

2:00PM
Took zozo out for the millionth time, got caught by my neighbor collecting her pee into a plastic container. I used a storage container I have for storing my breastmilk lol. She has also caught me pulling a dingle berry out of her butt and wiping her butt with a wet wipe after she had diarrhea...needless to say i look beyond crazy to this woman. story of my life. Kev got home early! WEEE! So now I have someone to watch Henry as i take my first born (zozo) to the vet, thank gosh. I fed Henry, cleaned/picked up the house quickly and did another load of laundry. Loaded more pictures, videos to the computer and to facebook. Feeling totally accomplished today. Glad i decided to make this blog today, on a day where there was tons of comic relief as well as a day where i got a ton done due to Henrys outrageous naps...

3:00PM
About to leave for vet, and Henry in the hands of daddy...happy friday evening everyone! I made it through another day of motherhood, another day in spit up paradise....

4:00PM and 5:00PM
Update on Zozo Bean..do you know what is wrong with her? ABSOLUTELY NADA! freaking dog was just wizzing in the house bc she was being a brat who has a loose goose. Can't believe it, only $60 spent to find that out and although that is not much it is $60 we could of spent on a nice dinner or groceries or something. crap-zola. Glad Kev was able have some one on one time with Henry while I was taking care of Zozo bean. Home now, just pumped, updated this blog for 10th time, looked up some recipes and now headed to the kitchen to fix dinner/eat.

SO glad it is the weekend, I hope all of you have a fabulous and SAFE weekend of celebrating the extra day off work :D Can't wait for some sunshine, more couponing and making more videos!

XOXOXOXO
