Not Too Different from Days at Home

There are days that are not too different from days at home, except for our location.
For example, wake up, get Moses to school, clean up the rooms, do laundry, change Seraphine because she spilled milk all over her new outfit, try to make an outfit out of the leftover clothes, admire her cute new boots, look for a few lost items, tell Seraphine she may not play with the suitcase, let her cry and then distract her, realize she is hungry and go out to buy lunch, get a call to pick Moses up because he is sick, pick up Moses and take his temperature, ask Steve to buy lunch,  bring the kids back home, feed Seraphine,  put Seraphine down for nap while singing a Chinese song and helping Moses memorize the words, help Moses get into bed for his nap, do more laundry, download some pictures, pick up  and comfort Seraphine from truncated nap (brother woke her up), eat snack, help Moses with setting up his new sorting recycling chore,  let Seraphine go crazy with markers (used to label our recycling boxes, pick up the markers and look for the caps, make snacks for the kids, do poetry homework with Moses, get lessons from Steve's mom so I can help Moses with the homework, draw with Seraphine, resolve a couple of fights, teach Seraphine not to bite, pinch, or pull hair and teach Moses not to push his little sister, watch a few minutes of TV, explain what a chef is to Moses, correct his Chinese ( he was calling chef a piece of toast), eat dinner, clean up Seraphine's huge mess, put away laundry and do laundry as Steve gives baths, pick up laundry (we go to Steve's dad's clinic to do laundry so this takes a lot of time), make hot drinks, clean up mess, talk with Cousin Tony on phone for a few minutes,  threaten Moses with a time out if he doesn't respond to request to go brush his teeth, floss Moses' teeth, put on Seraphine's snugsnug wrap, give Seraphine more milk, wait while she eats apples with grandma, wait some more as she eats duck with grandma while Moses and dad are reading a story, get both kids into bed, sing out family song, pray, let Steve pray some more, because I am too tired to talk, give Seraphine to Steve while she cries for more milk, take her back after she cries for a few minutes, start praying very loud and singing worship songs from college(this usually works), put sleeping Seraphine into her crib, send Moses to his own room to sleep, take a shower and wash my hair (finally!), read book of Matthew and Master Your Money with Steve, try to convince Steve to do the financial goal setting with me, wonder if he is on board,  go away and journal a  little, read the news and look up Tunsia (it's the northernmost country in Africa) on wikipedia, and then make a  couple household schedules and checklists, such as the following: Our NEW and IMPROVED Bedtime routine which I will post for all to see: 6:45 Bath 7:15 PJs and ointments 7:30 Milk and Story 8:00 Family Prayers 8:25 HUGS 8: 30 Lights Out.  I am pooped.  I have to be at school at 8:30 to cut turnip cakes for our big Chinese New Year celebration at school. Hope Moses is well enough to make it. Hope Seraphine sleeps through the night tonight. You see, today the day is just like one at home. For us stay at home moms with very young kids, this is what life is like anywhere I suppose. Good night!
