A Day In The Life Of Luci

6:00AM - Hannah wakes me up for nursing.  This can happen anytime from 6AM - 8AM actually. 
6:30AM - Check on Alex.  Get back into bed.
8:30AM - Alex wakes up.  Ryan gets her milk and gets her ready for the day.  I gather everything that the kids need for daycare.  Ryan takes Daisy out, and feeds her if he remembers.  I get Hannah ready, which usually just means I transfer her from her crib to her car seat.
9:15AM - Load everyone into the car and off we go.
9:30AM - Drop Alex and Hannah off at Dawn's.
10:00AM - Arrive at work.  Buy bad coffee from the cafeteria.
10:30AM - Pump.  Crochet while pumping.  It usually takes me 15-20 minutes from beginning to cleaning.
12:45PM - Pump.
1:30PM - Find something for lunch.  Bad days is eating in the cafeteria.  Good days are either I bring something or I have to drive out to get something.
4:00PM - Pump.
6:30PM - End of the work day. 
7:00PM - Pick the girls up from Dawns.
7:30PM - Arrive at home.  Ryan and Alex plays with Daisy for a few minutes. 
7:30PM - 9:30PM - Snack for Alex.  Ryan gives Alex a bath if she needs one.  I give Hannah a bath if she needs one.  Hannah gets a bottle, then nurses, then rocked to sleep.  Alex gets a bottle while reading with Ryan laying on the floor on her big stuffed dog in her room.  She picks the books from her shelf each time.  The last book is read after she climbs into bed.  Ryan tucks Alex, Pooh, Elmo, and Gogo (Clifford) into bed.  He kisses each of them (multiple times), shut off the lights and leaves the room.  Alex will either roll over and go straight to sleep or sing/play in her bed until she falls asleep. 
9:30PM (sometimes as early as 8:30PM or as late as 10PM) - Ryan and I eat dinner. 
10:00PM - 12:00AM - Clean bottles, gather stuff for the next day.  TV, computer, crochet, shower, get ready for bed.
2:00AM - Nurse, burp, diapers, nurse.  Pump optional.  Check on Alex. 
2:45AM - Back to bed. 
(4:00AM - Nurse, burp, diapers, nurse.  Pump optional.  Check on Alex.)  On bad nights, this timeslot occurs.  
6:00AM - Start all over.
