Day 1 as a Single Stay at Home Mom

Many of you know that Jared left for Africa (Ghana to be exact) for a school project yesterday (Friday) morning. And I am taking 6 days off of work to stay home and play with kiddo. I think I may be a bit over ambitious on what to do together, but since this happens so rarely I want to make the most of it. Here is a list of what I did yesterday:

• Woke up at 5:30 am and took Jared to the airport
• Went Grocery Shopping
• Dyed my hair back brown
• Pulled up all the sheets/laundry/mending/sewing, etc. and everything sorted, washed, hemmed, mended, etc.
• Washed all my walls and base boards
• Cleaned my house, especially my kitchen
• Re-arranged all my furniture
• Moved all my furniture out of my room and start prepping it to be painted (including removing all the blinds in the windows, and washing my draperies)
• Cleaned my ceiling fan, windows
• Patched the holes in my walls
• Not to mention all the time I spent playing video games with kiddo
• Going outside to the playground
• Running to Home Depot for the remaining paint supplies
• Going out to dinner
• Making a wicked fort
• Watching a movie
• And finally falling a sleep

Today I think I am going to take it a bit easier. Considering it is now 8:30 and by this time yesterday, the first 4 things on my list were done. I would post pictures, but Jared took the camera, so you get the next few days of us having serious fun, with no pictures. But hey, no one can accuse me of taking this time off for granted right?
