That's right, the dailies is kicking off this morning with Vanessa Cavaco--- the stationary queen. You may have seen her lurking around the blogosphere a time or two, right here, here, or even here.

But today? She's lurking all over town with her son, and we're riding her tail...

6:00 AM: I wake up very early today even though I don’t have to work my regular job (I usually work 3 thirteen hour days at my family’s business) but today yippee I’m off…but that doesn’t mean I have no work to do. Wake up early, my hubby is off to work, my bouncing baby boy is still fast asleep. I have to make my bed because of all the things in this world an unmade bed is my biggest pet peeve (Yeah I have problems, I know) then I run downstairs to get my morning cup of java. If it wasn’t for this handydandy Keurig coffee maker I wouldn’t know what to do ( I love it so much I’ve even blogged about it...just pop in the little cup and voila you have coffee). I run to my office here at home, check my e-mails, etsy, and my fave blogs for a bit. Tally up my orders that need to be processed because I will work on them later when I get back.



6:45 AM:I just finished my extremely hot shower, and now the dilemma of what to wear?????? Find whatever is convenient and throw it on….I must rush because I have a dentist appointment at 8 am.

7:15 AM My son is still asleep, so out of the kindness of my heart I don’t wake him up…I bundle him up since it’s chilly outside and head to my mother’s house since she will be watching him.



8:00 AM:Arrive at my dentists office, I need to have some work done on 2 of my chompers…it seems to me, that I spend more time at my dentist than I do at my own house. I think they are in the process of building me my own room here since dammit I’m always here..so why leave? All I know is I better be out of here in less than an hour.



8:53 AM: That was quick! Made it out of the dentist in approx 52 minutes and 22 seconds (yeah that’s right; I timed it). Am going back to my mom’s house to pick up my son and drop him off at his 2 hour Pre-K class.

9:30 AM:Dropped off my bouncing baby boy…and now I’m off to meet with a bride. I’m her “wedding planner”; I put in quotations ‘cause I used to be one for a short while, but gave it up…it was too much work! But she was referred to me by another client I had and she’s such a nice girl and it’s a small wedding (50 peeps) so I decided I would do it. We met at the very beautiful catering hall where she will be having her reception, went over some details about what I needed and what I did NOT need from the staff there. I’m also designing her wedding invites so I showed her a sample of what will be her wedding invite. She loved it…I’m happy , she’s happy….and so goes the story.

11:30 AM:Picked up my son from his Pre-K class…and the teacher told me how my 4yr old son gave her pinpoint directions from my GPS. Yeah the kid is a genius...(but I’m not bragging). So we go back to my mom’s house since she has made lunch (that’s right-- I’m 32 and my mom still makes me lunch).



12:15 PM:Lunch is done and the Target aficionados (AKA: my son and mother) proceed to tell me how they “need” to go to Target. My son says, “Mommy I NEED to go to Target to buy some cars.” My mother says, “ I NEED to go to Target” just for the heck of it I guess….so me, the chauffeur, gets rolling to take everyone to Target. I’m not going to lie to you... I’m a Target junkie myself.



12:30 PM:Stop by to get some gas (very pricey gas) and a large cappuccino with 3 sugars from Dunkin Donuts before we arrive at our final destination of ….Target.



2:30 PM:2 hours and $135.32(cents) later, we managed to leave Target. (Don’t ask me what I bought…Target seems to have a tight hold on my wallet) We drop off my mom at her house and my bouncing baby boy and I go home.



3:30PM: We are home! I have to check my e-mails again, orders that were placed and waste a few minutes “googling” meaningless things, before I go and fill and wrap up 10 easter eggs for my son’s Easter party at his school (Easter is a month away…but I’m a busy chick, and I have the time today so they must be done…a gal has to be prepared).



4:00 PM:My boy decides that he “NEEDS” to bake cupcakes. So me being the pushover mommy that I am, I agree to it, even though there are other things I should be doing. So we start a little rush job of making cupcakes (Heaven knows how they will turn out).



5:00 PM:I am working on some orders that have to be finished and shipped out tomorrow. While I prepare my packages, my boy plays on the computer for a bit so I can get my work done.



6:00 PM:The cupcakes are done…and boy what a mess…they turned into square cupcakes; don’t ask me how that happened (at least they’re edible). So we decorated them and I managed to turn one into a kitty cat cupcake (that’s craftiness!).



7:00PM: Hubby gets home…thank God…I need some “Me” time…While he cooks (He’s the cook in this family..I’m the “sort of baker”), I go to my office and reply to e-mails, read over the blogs that I dig , send out invitation proofs to customers and manage to have some time to design a card or two.

9:00 PM:My son is still not asleep (What kind of mother am I?). I have to listen to his 20 minute debate on why he should not be going to sleep. Eventually I won the fight and my boy is fast asleep.



10:00 PM:Tidy up around the house (not too much ‘cause I’m in no mood to be tidy at this moment). My hubby is watching TV (what else is new?). I grab my can of coca-cola and scoot back to my office to do more work. (I don't know why am I drinking caffeine at 10 o’ clock at night?)

11:45 PM: I decide that I’ve had enough and my brain is not functioning properly anymore to come up with new designs or witty remarks for my cards….so I call it a night and scoot off to bed.

[Woo! I'm exhausted--- thanks, Vanessa!]
