I need to visit here everyday for motivation and to know I'm not alone in my struggle to stay on top of things at home!!!

I'm overwhelmed today as each and every room NEEDS something done!  Kids are well taken care of ... and it's nearly lunch time ... then during their nap ... I get to catch up.

So far ...

kitchen is straightened, dishes are done, rfg cleaned out

bathroom is cleaned

...

laundry piled up - both clean and dirty

all rooms seem to be cluttered with either toys, office stuff from me or my hubby ...

Only one of mine will nap, the other will get to be worn in our baby carrier!  He has sensory issues and the Action Baby Carrier seems to be like a BIG HUG for him.  I've decided it's easier to wear him and get something done instead of fussing with him to try to get him to go to sleep.  He's out within 5 minutes if I wear him!

[dantesmama]

Poetry, sounds like you're having a busy day!

It took me a few hours, but I completely decluttered and organized our upstairs closet. It's this cavernous space between the grownup bedroom and kids' bedroom and it's really our main storage area - it holds everything from baby stuff to holiday decorations to outgrown or out-of-season clothes for the whole family, so getting it 100% done feels like a huge accomplishment! I threw out or put in bags to be donated probably close to half of what was in there, and I now have empty storage bins and clear floor space.

The floor track for the sliding doors is broken, so tonight I'm running to the hardware store for a replacement, as well as stopping at the jewelry store to pick up my wedding band.

Cleaned the car out , was quite an urgent necessity , it has started to look like a trash can , but now it´s clean and sparkly and we even vacuumed the upholstery off , so I am proud of myself !

And exhausted , but still managed to cook dinner and do a few loads of laundry , more tomorrow

I need to do this too, ours has gotten rather bad.

So far today I:

-went to the store, bought a dish soap pump with an attached sponge caddy to streamline the look of the sink, and a paper-storage container for the kids' coloring books and paper

-picked up The Hunger Games on blu-ray from Redbox

-took ds2 to t-ball

-went to the farmers market

-stopped at the park with the kids

-made lunch and put on The Land Before Time

My plans for the rest of the day:

-replace closet door track

-wash & put away a load of laundry

-keep up with the dishes

-sweep kitchen & stairs

-tidy the living room, which has gotten rather messy

-drop off several bags at the Salvation Army

-clean out the car (thanks, tonttu!)

-spend a few minutes decluttering the playroom

[tonttu]

Off to cleaning my closet now , then packing my suitcase , the kids´stuff is ready to go already , then we are off to a nice vacation in my home town , 1500 miles away . 

Haven´t been there in almost a decade now , so despite dreading the long drive , I do look forward to seeing everything again , porobably will be another decade after this time , to go back there !
 

[dantesmama]

Good morning. Tonttu, enjoy your vacation!

Yesterday the only things I didn't do were tidying up the living room and working on the playroom (but I did run a few extra errands), so those are priorities. I'm hoping we can go do something fun as a family today, too... maybe Niagara Falls (we're local).

My plans:

-go for a run

-straighten up living room

-work on playroom

-keep up with dishes

-get sleeping bags out of trunk and wash them

-return redbox movie (I was disappointed in The Hunger Games - I actually fell asleep watching it)

Enjoy your Sunday!

[tonttu]

So " the hunger games " were not good ? I´m glad , you let us know , I was actually thinking about buying them , but now I think I´ll watch them first as a rental 

[*bejeweled*]

Hello Ladies, I read the Hunger Games and enjoyed it, so I'm not gonna rent it.
We just returned from a trip out of town. I'm so glad to be home.

[dantesmama]

Bejeweled, how was your trip? I also enjoyed the books.

My plans for the day:

-straighten up downstairs - looks like a tornado came through. Made 120 wine bottle labels last night, so I skipped my usual before-bed tidying.

-dishes

-put basket of laundry away

-vacuum

-clip & file coupons from yesterday's paper

-work on playroom

-exercise

-sweep & mop

-wipe down bathroom

-upload pics to computer

-trash out

-go to pool or playground

Enjoy your day

[tonttu]

Just finished packing the last bit of our stuff , then we´re off !
