Monday both girls were up before 7. We saw Paul off to work then watered the grass. I pumped while the sprinkler was going. I did some meal prep then got breakfast for Mary and me. I bathed the girls then fed Katie and put her down for a nap. I started to clean the house then cleaned the garbage out of the car and cleared off the loggia and swept it. Katie got up and joined us outside then we went in for some lunch. I did meal prep by finishing my lunches from the chicken that finished cooking in the crockpot, then I made lasagna, granola, and banana bread. Mary helped me with the bread. Katie took a second nap during the 4 hour stretch in which I was cooking. When they were both awake, the girls watched Dumbo and bluey. I used the battery pump and just pumped while I was cooking. We went back outside around 4 pm to finish setting up the loggia. I brought in the grill stuff from the car and put it on the loggia. I mowed the grass, edged it, then aerated. We were hanging ...

Monday morning Katie got up once to eat then got up at 6:30 to eat again. She fell back to sleep but I got up to pump. Mary woke up and we had breakfast together. I cleaned up a little bit and started the laundry before we FaceTimed Nana. Katie woke up while we were on the call. I started making dinner while we were on FaceTime and I wasn't paying attention while I was cutting up the potatoes, I sliced right into my left thumb! It was just the tip, so it bled quite a bit but no stitches needed. We played outside then I put Katie down for a nap. I pumped then exercised. Mary helped me weed the front yard then Katie woke up. We went for a walk around the block and Mary rode on her scooter. We put the scooter back after one lap and Mary climbed in the scooter and I walked us to the park. We came home and finished putting dinner together for when Paul got home. Katie went down for a nap and I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth then Katie woke up. Katie joined me whi...

Monday morning Katie woke up shortly after Paul left for work. I brought her into the bed for cuddles where Mary joined us a little later. I got breakfast for Mary then we played in grandma's room until Katie went down for a nap. I got a call from Peter (potential violin student) and scheduled his first violin lesson for May 1. I put Moana on for Mary while I pumped then practiced violin. Mary thought I was more interesting than Moana, so she came and joined me. I am getting sick with what the girls have been fighting this last week, so I laid down on the couch and Mary played around me. Katie woke up, so I gave her a bottle and we watched Mulan. After Katie was done eating I folded the laundry and put it away. Katie was ready for another nap so I put her down then cleaned up around the house. I pumped again then practiced violin again, with a little more commitment. I did dscout then Katie was up again. I played with the girls then made dinner for Paul with Mary's ...

Monday Paul started work on the Monday to Friday schedule again. He was off to work early then Katie woke up with a poopy bum, so I changed her, fed her, and we played together until she was ready for her first nap. I put her down then pumped, Mary got up then. Once I was done Mary showed me an ant she had found, I went with her over to the TV and saw a lot of ants and that really grossed me out. Katie slept a while and I did a lot of cleaning in that time. I took literally everything out of the living room and found where the ants were coming from. I sprayed the opening and put an ant trap right there. I cleaned the tv, tv stand, and straightened up the wifi router situation. I cleaned the floor but unfortunately we were out of mopping fluid, so I just used a rag and multipurpose cleaner. I vacuumed the rug and couch then moved on to the table area and that's when Katie woke up. We went into Paul and my closet and straightened that up, then the bathroom, then the room. ...
