A day in the life of the Glenn fam

I always enjoy reading other people’s posts like this…so I thought I’d pen what ours look like as well. 

My disclosures😊 I work full time, this is what the majority of our days look like, but we are a family that likes to GO.  So, some days…this can vary greatly.  Some afternoons after work…we run errands and go out to eat, sometimes we go out in the boat, or we have a fun event to attend…you get the picture. 

 

6 am: WAKE (ahem…this is a new thing, as in, it’s only happened a handful of times…I’m not even going to go there right now)  Most of the time, you can find me in bed until at least 7…I am NOT a morning person!

6:10-7: WORK OUT (why I’m not going there….a whole other post for another day)

7:00-8 ish: shower/get kids up/ eat breakfast/play with the kids

*Now that Collins just started back to preschool, Mikey will take her in the mornings and I’ll take the boys….I usually take all three kids if they are all going to Weezie’s (our caregiver).  Mornings are a mad house; duh…as I am sure they are for most people who have places to be at certain times.  But, I do get moments of hugs/laughs and time spent with the kids. 

Preschool schedule: Collins goes M-Th from 7:45 ish ( whenever Mikey drops her off) until 12.  Our amazing caregiver’s husband is retired and he picks her up, how awesome is that!?  It allows her to have the best of both worlds…in home care AND preschool.  We LOVE it. 

I will typically drop the boys off anytime between 8 and 9, depending on my schedule for the day….but it’s generally closer to 8:30/8:45, my office is five minutes away.

WORK

I travel for work sometimes, but it’s always just day travel…I’d say I’m out of the office 4-6 times a month on average. 

LUNCH

I try and scoot over and see the kids at lunch, and this is the BEST part of my work day…naturally.  Sometimes I’m only there for 10 minutes, but I love stopping by.  A lot of times I can hang out for a good bit…it all just depends on my work day.  I try and go at least 3 times a week…sometimes its 5 days a week and sometimes 1…but I love that I can do this.

WORK

5:00PM: OUT of the office and heading to pick up the kids!  (obviously every once in a while I have to stay later, but I can work from home so if I need to make up time or work more I can do it at night when the kids go to bed). 

5:30-8:30: My favorite, craziest time of day!

We try and do an activity every day, whether that’s taking a walk/bike ride/wagon ridge, a golf cart ride, going to the playground, or just playing outside in our yard.

5:30-6:30:  I try and set aside a solid hour for play time/hang out with the kids.  NO PHONES!  Some days we just stay in the playroom…and make a disaster ;-) 

6:30-7:30: this is generally when cooking and eating dinner occur.  Mikey is generally the cook (a) because he’s better at it than me b) because I’d rather keep playing with the kids) We eat together as a family every night. 

7:30-8:30: depending on what we’ve done earlier in the night, this is when we may take a golf cart ride or play outside again.  Baths start at 8 and bed time is at 8:30. 

8:30-9/9:30: Mikey and I make a mad dash to clean up the kitchen/do laundry/any random house chores that need to happen because by 10 I am OUT.  Especially now that I’m trying to wake up at 6 to work out;-)  I need my sleep!    9:15/9:30-10 is our couple time…it’s not much but it’s important.  

 

So, there’s that.
