A busy day in the Brummer house

Here is a play by play of my day today:

6:10 am - After two snoozes, I get up to shower and get ready
6:45 am - I let out the dogs and feed them breakfast

9:00 am - Ready for my patient
9:15 am - My patient arrives 15 minutes late due to traffic
10:15 am - Dismiss my patient since the tooth we were re-evaluating didn't need a filling and we just discussed treatment options for other issues.
10:30 am - Catch up on paperwork, scheduling patients, surgery approvals, etc.
12:00 pm - LUNCH! Chat with a big table-full of my female classmates. Our conversation would never include griping about certain instructors and patients who make our lives difficult. :)
12:40 pm - Set up for afternoon appointment
1:00 pm - Seat afternoon patient
3:45 pm - Dismiss afternoon patient - deep cleaned one half of her mouth. It's so gratifying to see the calculus (build-up) flying off the teeth. :)

6:30 pm - Aaron gets home! We eat dinner
6:45 pm - Clean up the dishes, throw in a load of Wyatt's laundry, put dirty diapers in pail.
7:00 pm - Wyatt's fussy - Aaron changes his diaper and I feed him Chicken noodle dinner. He's exhausted.

I remember writing down some of my more "complex" days when I had kids at home. What you need to add in there are a couple of trips to WR..kids forgetting books or instruments...doctors appt. etc!!! Oh, and then you need to have your husband call and tell you he's bringing someone home for dinner!!! :)
