Put Together

Today is a blog post brought to you by a Mother of 2..........


As a Mother I often struggle getting everyone put together before we are out the door.  Here is a prime example of what I mean.....

Every Sunday morning we go to Church and this is how it plays out... I get up, shower before I get Alivia out of the crib, Brandt wakes up, both are whining at me for breakfast, I go and get Brandt and Alivia situated for breakfast, I come back in my room finish getting ready while they are eating breakfast, Brett comes up from downstairs(he gets up really early(4:30 am) because he's used to it from work days so he goes downstairs and watches tv and kinda falls back asleep until we all get up) it's so nice he doesn't disturb me in the morning(ha), Brett eats breakfast with the kids, Brett goes and takes a shower and gets ready, I come back in the kitchen to get Brandt, we go get him dressed, brush his teeth, then I go get Alivia and get her dressed,(challenge because she always runs away from me) after she is dressed I go to my diaper bag/ purse make sure I have diapers, wipes, snacks, sippy cup and of course her blanket, Brett and Brandt usually leave so they aren't late for Sunday School since it's a challenge for me to get there on time, about 20 minutes later Alivia and I are ready to go, so I get our coats on and out the door we go, this is where I wonder if her and I are put together? I get in the truck and do a check list, Alivia do you have your blanket, sippy cup, 4 other things(toys) that you had to have in your hand, hair intact, shoes on, and do I have my diaper bag/purse? Most of those questions are yes since we are just leaving, and the final question for me is what do I look like? I look in the mirror to check that my hair is intact, I have my coat on right, and I look ok to go.. ha ha!

I know what you are thinking, how exhausting right? You don't even know:) lol! I wouldn't trade it for the world though, I love being a Mom and wife:)

So after we get home from Church and from eating dinner we come home for naps. This is what happens after you have been gone and out for a few hours or so......

A little girl that is NOT put together.. lol!

Yep, Alivia is very tired in this pic, half of her hair is still up from her pigtails this morning, and her coat is all messed up:)

Question of the day are you "put together"?

Till next time.......
