A morning in the life of ME.

My day usually starts around 6:30 am when Parker scurries in our bedroom with his flashlight and scares the bejeebers out of me by shining it in my face.  "Momma, I wake."  "Momma, I wake"  repeat that at least 5 more times.  "I soo hungry"  Momma, I soo hungry" again repeat that 5 more times.  "Can I watch my too toons?" and repeat.... ALOT.  you get the idea?  I then stumble out of bed, throw on my robe, grab Parker a sippy of milk, a nutra-grain bar (he could live off these btw), and I turn on some cartoons.   I then deliriously fall back in bed, and fall into a slumber only to have Scotties alarm clock go off a minute later (you'd think by now, I would just stay awake).  He hits it 3-4 times before getting out of bed.  I then hear Payton yelling (and yes, yelling not crying) in his room.  I stumble into his nursery to a happy, smiley baby that absolutely melts my heart EVERY time.  Great start to my day:)  I change him and plop him next to Scottie in our bed, and of course Payton works his magic on his daddy grinning from ear to ear.....I go to the kitchen make little peanut a bottle and remember our automatic coffee maker has already made the morning coffee, SWEET (btw thanks for that mom).  I feed Payton his bottle that he sucks down in 2 minutes and lay him under his gym.  I go to the kitchen and make Scottie's lunch for the day and pour our coffee....ahhhh, at last, I turn on the "Today Show"and give my hubby a goodbye kiss (now its just the monsters and myself) I usually get about 5-10 minutes of quiet time to watch the Today Show and sip my morning coffee.. Now its breakfast time, I make Payton's oatmeal and right when I'm getting ready to feed Payton, Parker wonders into the kitchen, "Momma, I AM soooooo hungry"......we usually debate about what he's going to eat and settle for some dry cereal in a bowl.  He'll sit at the table and curiously watch me feed his little brother while Payton stares at his big brother and is totally distracted from eating, making the biggest mess...  Next, I clean up the kitchen and the boys....get them dressed for the day (all while I stay in my robe), I then have some downtime, blog, check facebook and my email.  Payton takes his nap around 9....sleeps for 1-2hrs..I usually snuggle Parker during Payton's nap time we color, read books, and I pretend to be a 3 year old so Parker can have a playmate....  I love my mornings with my little guys and treasure every single moment.  

excuse the way I look in this picture but its me in my most natural form, hah....9 times out of 10 this is what I look like at home w/ my little boys.
