7:45 - Miles wakes up, screaming "Mooooom-moooom! Come!" I drag myself out of bed to help him before he tears down the door. Breakfast immediately, to the sound of screaming or whining, depending on his mood.
8:00 - Turn on television to PBS for Super Why. I finally get to use the bathroom and brush my teeth.
8:30 - Get Miles dressed, ready for the day. He fights every step.
9:15 - Get everything else ready for the day, including me.
9:30 - Out the door to do something - go to the gym, playground, whatever to wear him out. If I am done fighting him, we put in a movie.
11:00 - Home, lunch, quiet playtime in his bedroom.
12:00ish - Nap. Usually for both of us.
2:00ish - Get up, snack, try to find something to keep him busy for the rest of the afternoon. Art projects, playing swords, putting together train tracks, building with legos, etc.
5:00ish - Begin getting dinner ready. I usually have to turn the television on to accomplish this.
5:45ish - Shovel in dinner before Miles starts screaming and whining because he wants us to play with him.
6:00 - 8:30 - Patrick, Stacey, and I tag-team Miles, trying to keep him busy.
8:30ish - Begin bedtime prep. Bath, if necessary.
9:00ish - Bedtime.
9:45 - Miles is finally asleep enough for me to relax. I turn on HGTV and crochet, trying to regain sanity.
11:00ish - Go to bed. Toss and turn for 1-3 hours (or more) before finally falling asleep. Have weird dreams all night that prevent a truly refreshing rest.
Repeat. Ad Nauseum.
