He works in the office for a while, while I watch Bob the Builder with Toddler. <\/p>\n<p>8:00 DH takes Toddler to school and goes to work. I paint for an hour. Yesterday, I had prepped the canvas with a green base, this morning, I outline the form with sepia.<\/p>\n<p>9:00 I settle down at my desk. I read my email while feeding Baby again. After that, I start work. To get the most difficult task out of the way first, I write my query letter first, and post it to my writer&#8217;s group for feedback.<\/p>\n<p>10:00 Breakfast. I&#8217;m out of chocolate donuts, so I eat a beef Cup of Noodle. I eat at my desk, still working. Now I futz around with my Outline for the rest of the Dindi Books.<\/p>\n<p>13:00 Feed Baby again, read some entries on the OWW. Check email again. I get some feedback on my query, and make the changes.<\/p>\n<p>14:00 Walk time! I pack Baby into the stroller and we head down to the supermarket where I buy more chocolate donuts. While I walk, I call my mom on the cell and tell her about the latest changes to my book outline.<\/p>\n<p>15:00 Once home from the walk, I put Baby down for an afternoon nap. I paint another layer on my painting, this time the black and white layer.<\/p>\n<p>16:00 I&#8217;m happily back at writing when DH comes home unexpectedly early from work. He distracts me.<\/p>\n<p>17:00 Since DH is home already, I leave him to watch Baby and go with the single stroller to pick up Toddler.<\/p>\n<p>17:30 Toddler wants &#8220;Mommy drive cars!&#8221; so DH takes over dinner and I go play some more with Toddler.<\/p>\n<p>18:30 I feed Baby again. Dinner is ready. <\/p>\n<p>19:00 After dinner, I sneak off to see if I can regain my lost hour of work while DH plays with Toddler, but DH is tired. He attempts to take a nap. I feed Baby while playing more cars with Toddler.<\/p>\n<p>20:00 We watch Smallville. I feed Baby.  Through-out, Toddler repeats, &#8220;I want drive cars!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>21:00 Normally, at this time, DH would give Toddler a bath, and I would dry him off and put him in his jammies. But DH is sick, so Toddler watches Maisy, while I write in my blog on my laptop, sitting next to him on the couch. I think DH is in the office &#8212; no, the bathroom. Still sick. When he comes out, he gives me some advice on how to fix the nostril on my painting.<\/p>\n<p>21:30 DH says he&#8217;s well enough to supervise &#8220;Brush Teeth Time!&#8221; and read Toddler a bedtime story. I go to write some more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5:30 Awakened by Baby.
