I am really struggling to keep up with my list. This pubic bone pain has made it painful to get around and I'm completely overwhelmed with life right now. I need to kick my butt and get moving again.

Wow... Got so much done today!

Cleaned out the girl's room. Dh's desk and computer were in there. We moved the crib out of Ds's room and put it up in the Girl's room. I hope Ds will get used to having a big boy bed and by time the baby starts using the crib he will not be bothered by it.

I got some wall stickers up on the walls in the girl's room that look like colored bubbles. We also got Ds some new sheets and a blanket for his big bed. His room is so much bigger now with out the crib and bed in there.

Tomorrow I'm sending Dh back out in the garage to work on it and I'm going to try and finish up the bathroom and work on laundry. I can sit and do laundry

Got so much done today but still so far from finished!

We cleaned out the garage.... mostly. We purged a lot of stuff and we have one heck of a pile of stuff sitting at the curb. We have a few things left to put in the storage building and our front porch is in need of work now. The crap on the front porch needs to be gone back through again and choices made on to keep or toss it.

We are about to head to the Home Depot and get some blinds for the bedrooms and get paint for the garage. Also want to find something to fill in the gap in the floor between the floor and the wall. I still need to wash the floor really well. We only found one dead mouse body! But way to much poop to be happy about.

So tomorrow I hope to wash the floor, paint, put up the gate and school room decor.

I'm wiped out as it is. But tomorrow is the "fun" stuff.

I rewrote a master list today and will break it down into individual lists tomorrow. I actually cooked today, washed dishes (sort of) with dh, did about 5 loads of laundry, scrubbed the toilet and bathroom sink, tidied up the bedroom etc.
After picking up clutter and such I realized that the house isn't in as bad of condition clean-wise as I thought. Carpets need vaccumed and floors need to be swept daily but other than the laundry having been way way behind, we're in pretty good shape.
I have to wash all the bed linens tomorrow, wash all baby diapers and the rest of the baby clothes that haven't been washed yet.
And the only other major thing I have to do is go for another stock up grocery run and put in another co-op order for pantry staples. Here I was thinking I had ALL this STUFF left to do, but it's pretty much all done already.

I have a list of things that need to be bought yet and we'll get those over the weekend (hose to fill pool, plastic sheeting from home depot for under pool).

So now I can sit on my sore bottom and knit and NOT feel guilty

I hate this thread. Everyone is so much more productive than I am! I didn't even make a list!
