As I mentioned before, I did this whole boring day thing on a message board a few years ago. You just take pictures of your day and share them, so that people see what you do in a normal, average, boring day. I decided to turn it into a carnival, and here’s my submission for it. This post has a lot of pictures, so click the more tag to see them all.

Good morning Sunshine! Anyone who has been around me in the morning knows that I am NOT a morning person.

Time for some toothpaste. I can’t kiss Jim goodbye til I’ve brushed my teeth.
Good oral health

And speaking of Jim, he’s in the closet. Literally. He was all dressed for work and grabbing a change of clothes to he could go to the Tampa Bay Lightning playoff game after work.
Jim the hockey fan

Time for me to head downstairs and drive the kids to school.
Stairs

Once I’m done with that, it’s time to start working. Lots of email to deal with this morning.

I work at home, but I have 2 coworkers to spend the day with. They don’t do much, but they don’t leave my side.

Time for the first Coke of the day. I don’t drink coffee, and I don’t like to eat first thing in the morning either. I always start my day off with a Coke.

Lola needs her medicine, and I have to hide it in a piece of cheese to get her to eat it. She got bit in the kennel this weekend, but our other dog, because the kennel didn’t feed them separately.

Crap! It’s garbage day, and I still have trash in the house. And yes, I am wearing my jammies outside!
Garbage Day

Time for a break from work to do a little paid blogging. I keep track of what I blogged where using this very technical system of a marking lines on a post it note.
Paid blogging

Almost noon…time for breakfast! I told you I eat late!
Rice Chex

Yum! Rice Chex are delish. Time to watch something I DVR’ed a few nights ago, a new show called “Notes From The Underbelly”. Hilarious!
Breakfast break

2pm…time to shower! I love these Venus Divine razors. Spendy, but worth it.

All clean and shiny!

I have a lot of hair. It takes me forever to blow dry it.

I slip on my current favorite pair of Skechers so I can head out to pick up the kids.

We’ve still got our rental car, so I put the top down and head out.

A quick stop at the school and we’re ready to head home!
Catherine

Yay, school is over!
Matthew

Back home, and hanging in the dining room while homework is started.
Colleen & Lola

Everyone does their homework right after school in our house. Matthew didn’t have any, so he’s already off playing.
Homework time

I head outside to water the plants. This is the tomato plant and pepper plant that Gracie planted. We’ve got veggies coming in on both of them!Plants

My workday is over, but it’s too early for dinner. Time for a snack of Wheat Thins and cheddar cheese.
Snack time

Time for dinner! Jim isn’t home, so in true slacker mom fashion, I let the kids eat outside and watch TV.
Dinner time

And again, since Jim isn’t home, we’re having a slacker mom meal of mac n’ cheese.

Later on, the kids are all in bed, and it’s time for me to head there too…but there’s crap all over the bed, so I’ve got to clean up first.
Bedroom

Lola is all ready for bed…she made this little cave in some pillows and an extra blanket. See the little black spot in the middle of all the bedding?
Lola is tired

I tuck myself in. Night night!

Good night , Radar! Snoopy sleeps on the back of the couch in a ball just like Loka!

That’s great! Your coworkers are nicer than my coworkers lol And I go outside in my pajamas all the time. Definitely didn’t do the shower shot, cause I’d drop the camera in the water, and that would be the end of the pictures :)

Ha! I thought I was the only one who started my days with soda instead of coffee.
We have almost an identical day, except I don’t have to pick up my kids, right down to what time we take a shower…LOL
