A day in the life of a SAHM

I was thinking today how I have sat down for maybe an hour total all day. All days are not this crazy, but here is an example of what one of these busy days looks like. I want to document it so one day I will look back and think "no wonder I was always so tired" and "no wonder I didn't talk on the phone much during the day."

6:45-Brady poops and needs help wiping 
6:50-get Reece out of his crib and change his diaper and put him in clothes
7:00-lay our clothes for boys, they get dressed, then we head downstairs to eat breakfast 
7:15-7:50-make Reece a bottle, put breakfast on plates and high chair tray, pour drinks, clean up breakfast, make coffee, wipe the baby down, wash out the bottle, wipe the table, I finally eat
7:50- change Reece's poop and kiddos play for a minute, start a load of laundry, start the dishwasher 
8-Grant leaves to do sound at church (I stayed back with the boys since Owen was sick)
8-8:45-watch Veggie Tales and play with Reece, then talk about the lesson and pray with them 
8:50-put Reece down for a nap
8:55-do a workout DVD (Owen and Brady wanted to do it with me)
9:40-finish workout and take a quick shower while putting on a show for Owen and Brady
9:55-Reece wakes up from his nap because Brady opened his door and he and Owen were being extra loud 
9:55-11-sit on the floor and play with the boys
11-give Reece a bottle
11:15-make lunch for the boys, clean up lunch, I eat, put clothes in dryer, wash out bottle, wipe off table, play with boys a little bit 
12:30-put boys down for naps, put up laundry, start another load of laundry, pick up a little bit, empty trash cans, clean bathrooms, dusted upstairs
1:30-2:15-I actually relaxed and watched a show 
2:15-Brady and Owen woke up (Owen napped due to needing rest from fever)
2:30-Reece woke up and boys start playing
3-make a bottle, get snacks and drinks and bring them upstairs
3:05-boys watch a movie and Grant hangs out with Reece while I vacuum the stairs, bedrooms and bathrooms (cleaned all downstairs a couple days ago)
4:00-Grant vacuums the play room and I put up another load of laundry
4:20-head downstairs to start dinner, get Owen's 
5:30-serve dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner, wipe table and counters, make Reece a bottle
6:20-boys get a bath from Grant while I pick out Owens clothes for tomorrow, lay out pjs, get toothpaste on toothbrushes, and get meds ready
6:45-read to boys, give Reece a bottle, pray with them, talk about our days, and put them to sleep
7:15-me time and me-Grant time
