What do I do all day?

For some reason my brain has been playing the question "what do I do at home all day?", and what I'll tell people when I go back to work.

The day usually is up around 7 when Alice decides to get up. Laura feeds her, we eat breakfast, I waste time reading news sites. We play on the floor, Alice watches. Or something like that. We might sit outside on a blanket and watch the wind in the leaves from the shade. Chair feeding of Alice, stories and a nap. Lunch for the adults. Maybe throw some laundry in or put it up on the line outside. We might take turns going for a bike ride. More feeding for Alice and another story plus nap. More idle time online for us. Diaper changes, maybe a walk or sit outside. More feeding, stories, optional bath and then bedtime. Dinner for us, maybe reading a book or watch a movie. Bed. Repeat.

When I look back at what we do from day to day it's not much. I have not stripped the carpet out of 2 rooms and repainted them. I've not built that trebuchet that I've been meaning to. I might not have even done the dishes.

Honestly, I'm having the time of my life. God, I hope I'm healthy when I retire because this is awesome.
