Organization and Planning with a Tiny Person

First three weeks back to work have been rather uneventful. We are starting to get in somewhat of a morning routine. We get up, get ourselves ready, pray to God she doesn’t wake up early, make breakfast and then get her ready for the day at 6:30. If all goes well, we are out the door by 7:06. I will tell you one thing, having to coordinate all the nonsense in the morning has taught me how to be the queen of organization and planning. 

It all starts on Sundays-our meal prep days. I make our breakfasts for the week (eggs, turkey sausage, cottage cheese, and spinach) and put them in little Tupperware so they are ready to throw in the pan  and cook on their own as I let the dog out/make sure he is fed and put work bags in my car. This alone has save us about 10 minutes every morning. My lunch is always ready the night before as well. When I don’t make it ahead, then I just end up saying Eff it and going to eat crappy food somewhere and then im pissed at the calories and the money that I spent.  Lose-Lose I tell ya. All of my clothes for work and my workouts are laid out the night before. If I don’t do this, I am rummaging through the dirty laundry searching for the least nasty sports bra. No one wants that. Empty bottles and pump parts are set out to be thrown in their cooler and all my pills are laid out so I don’t forget. Lord help us if I forget those!!!!

Breakfasts for the week, partial lunches, and Aubs bottles for a day.

I also make her bottles as soon as I come home from work. They are in her lunch box and are ready to grab as we are heading out the door. All of her clothes and headbands are ready to roll once she gets her sleepy face up. She has to be a snazzy babydoll always!!

Good Morning Smootches

Once we get to daycare all my worries actually go away. The first few days were hard. Yes, I cried outside of the daycare, and yes Levi laughed at me. Now its almost a race to see how fast you can drop her off. I figure if I am paying them a mortgage payment, they should watch my kid and I shouldn’t feel guilty. And now I don’t. Her teachers freaking love her. Every time we bring her in, they sing “This girl is on fiiirrreeee” to her because she is always so fancy, and they argue over who gets to love on her first. I will say that picking her has to be the best every because she just lights up when you come into the room!! Hi babydoll!! Mama is here!!

Our lives have become controlled chaos for sure. I definitely would not change it for the world! And of course, you cant leave the house unless you have a little puke on your shoulder!!

Do Great things
