OMIGOODNESS!!!

I did my divorce paperwork, it felt so good. And I'm 90% certain it got done right, too!

Dishes done, house still clean

Laundry 100% done and away (except for my partner's crap; I dump that in his basket 'cuz I don't fold MY clothes, much less his!)

Made my bed

Drank coffee ALONE, and then had new kitten and talk time with my roommate (both are rare)

Today - 

A fitting appointment that has canceled/rescheduled three times

Some serious sewing work (deadline for rescheduled appointment is ENCROACHING!)

Hopefully some shopping to grab materials for other projects

Hands-on activity time with my girls, who I get back for this afternoon and they leave again in the morning for their Dad's (Crazy hectic special occasion schedule!)

Have a sit-down talk with my oldest daughter, who has had a difficult time transitioning between houses lately. 

Go team!!!!

Wow that is freeeeeezing SaraMum!  I can't even imagine it actually.

It's 80 degrees F here where I am, but it is summer of course, and actually quite a mild one for us.

Cultivating my roots, congrats on getting your divorce paperwork done!

I haven't got any cleaning done today, but I did get to the gym!  And got the groceries done, collected up all the rubbish and recycling, put the bins out, thought I was done for the day but then DS decided he was going to declutter his shelves, with my help of course! So I ended up spending the last 2 hours doing that with him, ready to drop now.  I feel a sense of achievement though, as it brings us closer to getting rid of the shelves out of his room so we can get him a desk to do homework at.

Yesterday was kind of a bust!  I only managed to wash sheets/blankets and keep up with the dishes.  I picked up the living room but not as well as I usually do.

Mom31 - my DD won't sleep in her room b/c it's too messy.    She has too much stuff.  I need to purge!  Planning to tackle it in waves -- wave 1 being today (hopefully)!

[SaraMum]

Well I got almost all of my list completed yesterday :) yay. Today I am working outside of the home and bringing my 19mos old DS with me all day, so I feel if I can get through the day, that will be an accomplishment in itself lol.  But here are a few things I would like to get done today:

-load of CD laundry

-15minutes of tidying in dining/craft/homeschool/hoarders anonymous room

-clean toilet and sinks in upstairs bathroom

-fix the mistake I made in a pair of longies so that I can continue

-get 10 more items to be consigned

-make bagels

Hi everyone! Mom31, I don't know where to start, either, so I"m just going to jump in! I'm going away for a few days, leaving early, early in the morning, dropping DH off at the airport and then driving to my sister's house a couple of hours away. I'll be returning sometime Friday to pick DH up at the airport. But the place feels like such a mess! I know I'm not going to get deep cleaning done. like mopping and such, so I'm just going to try to make the bed and pick things up very generally. I also need  to make a list of things to take with me. And I have to leave out enough food & water for the cats for a few days. I'm alone with the boys until 8:30 PM, at which time it will be time to wind down and prepare to sleep for our very early departure in the morning.

I'm setting my timer.

[PoetryLover]

I transferred clothes to the dryer

washed a load of diapers

decluttered diapers & recorded on thread

brought out books and CDs going to my sister to bring to her on my trip

cleaned out the diaper pail

Next session... 

[sleepingbeauty]

My list today:

*Flip the futon and remake the bed
*Clean the stove
*Find my floor
*Wipe down my bathroom sink
*Take out the trash
*Sweep the kitchen/living room floors.

And I have to do some work from home stuff at some point....  I'll get there...

Bwahahaha. I just vacuumed my sewing room, and used the vacuum as a sort of push-bar to move all the CRAP. Gah. And I'm supposed to be working right now!!! Good luck finding your floor, I wish you a glorious reuniting!

[PoetryLover]

I need a kick in the butt. I was woken up way too early today and my toddler won't nap. I so need a nap. I also need to do another session.

I folded a load of laundry and need to put it away.

[Mom31]

I have done nothing- I don't feel good and i am depressed.... depressed at my lack of motivation. HELP!

[CultivatingMyRoots]

Aww, Mom31 and PoetryLover!!!! Have either of you located your timers? That always helps me. Especially because the timer ending gives me a scott-free end to the activity; no guilt over nott 'finishing' or 'accomplishing' enough. 

Also, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

...Did that help?

[Baby_Cakes]

I'm exhausted today as well!  I'm thinking about making another pot of coffee for the afternoon.

So far today all I've done is:

• take DD to the pediatrician
• wipe the surfaces in my bathroom
• pick up the living room
• put some dishes in the dishwasher
• throw in a load of the baby's wash

Is it bedtime yet?

[Mom31]

Ok... I did a load of dishes only to find the disposal is not turning on- I fixed it last time but this time its not the same thing wrong.... any ideas. I flip the switch and no noise or anything?  It's not clogged from what I can tell.
