post #1201 of 1254

I postponed my all out assault on the stinky bathrooms to clean up.. The house needs some picking up.. Good news I think I only have 3-4 more loads of laundry to do. For me that's not bad, why is it that I never seem to catch up on it?

I've been up just one hour. It's not even nine am in the Pacific Northwest.

Already this morning I cleaned out the fridge.

Started bone broth in the crockpot with veggie bits and chicken carcass from the fridge cleaning.

I've fed the chickens some of the dribs and drabs of leftovers that I couldn't work into the bone broth.

Got the laundry going and have had two glasses of water and sensible breakfast.

 

Off to shower and write a couple of bills.

Im still working on yesterdays list this morning. I slept in this morning so I haven't gotten anything done yet but the extra sleep was worth it! Hopefully it gives me some extra energy. The girls are still sleeping so Im spending some mommy time before going to clean up.

Well, my kids were at school.. so I have no distractions and few excuses.

 

I did get some errands run after my shower and then came home to make soup and fold the clothes.

Girls got up so I made breakfast, cleaned up from breakfast, talked to my SIL for a bit (shes due 3 weeks after I am with her first and is TIRED so she needs encouragement), rotated around the laundry and read to the girls..

 

Now Im going to go put away the laundry, get the kids the rest of the way dressed and start on the bathrooms. DD1 wants to help set up the baby's diaper areas so we will do that after the bathroom and pull down the bouncers/moses basket as well.

post #1209 of 1254

Got both diaper areas set up, pulled down the bouncers and moses basket and put those where they needed to go. Now I really need to work on the bathrooms!

Finally! The Salvation army turned up...had to stay home because the lady said they would come between 9am and 4pm, so guess what time they came? .....Yes you guessed it, 4pm! eyesroll.gif

 

I have got heaps done today, all the mopping upstairs, and cleared a lot of stuff in my craft room.  I am trying to put together a big parcel of craft supplies to send to the flood victims.

 

It's just so hot I have no energy to do any more today..... couldn't even be bothered to cook dinner!  coolshine.gif

Ok, its almost 730 so I need to start doing something. First up need to empty dishwasher, reload with the dishes that didn't get done last night.. Then I need to make breakfast, fold laundry, dry the sheets that are in the wash and start washing couch cushions. The girls will probably need a bath and to get dressed among that as well. Ill go from there.

post #1216 of 1254

The girls are eating so Im going to go work on replacing the zipper on the couch. Ive been putting it off since we got the couch in October (I think) and it needs to get done before we move.. Im thinking it would be easier to do it now than after the baby comes

post #1217 of 1254

Haven't even started the zipper or anything else yet bag.gif.. got to get moving. First its lunch for the kids (yea, they are hungry again) and then Im going to actually force myself to do something!

Hi everyone! So far today I have swept and mopped the kitchen, pantry and bathroom. I also gabbed on the phone with my sister. 

 

Babe is napping, so I'm going to attempt to shower.

 

I still need to make my bed, pick up the bedroom, vacuum the bedroom carpet if I can, wash 1 load of regular laundry and 1 load of diapers. I am expecting company around 4:30, so I better get moving!

I showered, made my bed and vacuumed the bedroom. Now I'm off to eat something. I have to finish picking up the bedroom.
