A day in the life of a SAHM.

Harper is 32 months old, Charlie is 7.2 months.

4am: I wake up to Harper screaming and crying, I go in to find him in a panic after having a nightmare, apparently snuffy was going to eat him up. I bring him to our bed, and Charlie wakes up. I spend the next half an hour trying to fed Charlie back to sleep, while keeping Harper quite.

5am: Matt's alarm goes off, and he gets up for work. Harper's still awake but Charlie is asleep.

6am: Finally Harper goes back to sleep, so do I until 45 minuets later when Charlie wakes up, I fed her and we get up, leaving sleeping Harper in our bed.
I make Charlie and myself some breakfast we eat in the lounge room.

7.30am: There is a storm starting and I hear Loud thunder, which sends my loopy dog crazy, she barks and wakes up Harper. I go in to get him, and we watch the storm out the window.
Charlie finishes her breakfast.

8am: I wash Charlie down, change her nappy and dress her. Then I dress Harper and take him to the toilet, I get rid of his night nappy, and make him a bottle. Charlie spends the next half an hour commando crawling all over the lounge room, stopping only to eat the coffee table (I am forever pulling her away from it, she has put her little teeth makes on there, and now I will have to keep the table forever)

A day in the life of a SAHM.

6.45am Harper wakes up and starts yelling out, I'm feeding Charlie in bed, I finish the feed and we all get up.

I heat a bottle for Harper & make a large coffee, Then change Charlie's nappy.

7.15am I put the TV on, it's the best way to get Harper to stay still long enough to drink the bottle. I drink my coffee and check emails on my phone, while Charlie has playtime.

7.30am I turn the TV off and put on music. I change Harper's nappy, then Harper and I sit on the floor with Charlie, talking to her and doing tummy-time.

8.00am Charlie starts to show tired signs, I pick her up and we head for the cot, where I put her into a grow-bag and place her in the cot, she has a dummy and white-noise, I sing her a song and leave. I go in and out if she spits out the dummy, or gets upset. If I catch her tired signs early enough, it only takes about ten minuets before she's asleep.

8.20am I have a super quick shower, while Harper plays in the washing basket. I quickly grab some clothes out of the giant pile of washing and get dressed. Today I remember deodorant, but things like make up and hair seem to be a luxury I no longer have time for.

8.45am I make Harper breakfast, I try to keep him quite as he yells and tries to wake up Charlie, Charlie wakes up, I quickly clean Harper from breakfast then I get her up and feed her.  While feeding her I consider abandoning this post, I wonder how I will possible find time to write what we are doing and take photos, all day.

9.10am I grab some breakfast while Charlie has floor time and Harper plays with his hotrods.
