Have You Seen May?
Holy shit, we are at the end of May. Let’s just say exactly what I’m thinking.
May is the absolute craziest month of the year for me. Work is insane. It is the busiest month of the year at my job, and it involves late evening conference calls 3 weekdays a week for at least 1-2 hours. Add in the kids’ sports and activities that are almost every single weekday (and Saturdays) and you get insanity. Complete insanity.
Here’s how a typical day has gone for me in May:
5:15 am : Wake up, prep my preworkout smoothie, do my Miracle Morning tasks
6:00 am : Workout
7:00 am : Get myself ready for work; get kids up, breakfasted, and ready for school
8:00 am : Take kids to school (not forgetting all the sports gear and school crap)
8:30 am – 4:30pm ISH – Work…as hard as I can…using my lunch hour for making personal phone calls, appointments, paying bills, running errands, etc (I usually don’t take a lunch however)
4:30 pm ish – Run to daycare, change kid into whatever sports attire they need, run them to sport practice or game
7:00 pm – Arrive home (maybe stopping by the grocery store beforehand), attempt some sort of thrown-together dinner, shower the kids, clean up kitchen, do random crap
8:00 pm – 10:00pm – Work conference calls
10:00 pm – Clean up, prep stuff for the next day, throw in some laundry
10:30 – 10:45 pm ISH – Collapse into bed
Rinse and repeat. For all of May. The weekends have been no help as we have had multiple birthdays, BBQs, and other things to check off the list.
Is there a point to this post? I’m not sure. Maybe to just say I’m still here, I’m still functioning (barely). I see the end, as this was the last week for three of the kids’ sports/activities, and next week will be the last week for baseball (and for late evening conference calls). So the end of the insanity is near…I just have to make it there.
To all the mamas out there making it work daily, I see you.
