I tried reading through to get to the end of the last thread, and got dizzy! It was so fantastic to see everybody motivating each other, and I love how easy things become when they are broken into 'chunks.'
Here are my sessions, I am kid-free while they are at their dad's, and trying to get motivated!
I hope today's better. I totally know about days like those.

Today I:

*made the bed
*wiped down the bathroom
*put out the trash
*made a nice breakfast and tea
*cleaned the litter box
*colored my hair
sorry I was on my kindle and it does not let me barely type an answer...
Yes- I found the money on my stove somehow- ugh. In the process I let my boyfriends dog out- and she wound up at a neighbors and luckily has a phone number on her tag so I spent quite a bit of time tracking her down and taking care of her- so happy she is ok...he is not mad at me. what a day.
Bejeweled, congrats on finally getting your hair colored. Mine always ends up being a week or so later than I planned, because the henna has to sit for three+ hours.
This morning bf made CINNAMON BUNS!!! And they were BETTER than Cinnabon. (This from the guy who SWEARS he can't cook.) We also got shelves for our shed from a CL post, and some awesome pots for the yard, spring is coming and gardening is part of homeschool as well as my hobbies.
Today I am kid free, and I have to....
~File Fafsa (This year and next)
~Some sewing projects (for MYSELF!)
~Clean up the girls room, rotate toys. It is a DISASTER because they just have too much.
~Pack a long overdue box to send to my parents (with V-day cards and somesuch)
Thanks, bejeweled. This weekend was almost a total wash. My sleep is seriously off-track and that makes it hard to get things done. BUT, I did get a few things done, let me think...
*Hung a load of laundry to dry
*Got laundry put away/gave DH his clothes to put away
*Wiped the kitchen counter a couple times
*Packed med boxes for me & DH (a weekly thing on Sundays)
Since it's 3 in the morning I'm going to put today's goals for later on:
*Wash dishes
*Hang laundry after DH gets it washed
*Make minestrone soup for dinner, maybe muffins if I'm up to it
*Sort through 1 or 2 drawers in the living room
Here's to a great week for all of us! And now I'm off to read for a little bit and hopefully fall asleep okay.
I am working on getting into a regular sleep pattern. Ideally I want to go to bed at 22.00 and go up at 06.00 since I am much more productive during those early morning hours than I am during the rest of the day. I have some way to go since I did get up first at 9.00 today...
But I've got things done
- Threw out all the garbage in the kitchen (it is amazing how it just sort of fills up).
- Flipped over a mat, that has been curling at one edge, so hopefully it will now lay flat.
- Put on a machine of dark laundry.
- Took a damp rag and did a general surface dusting in my room.
- Fluffed my pillow and turned down my duvet, so the bed looks orderly. I prefer to make it this way in the morning, so that the mattress etc. gets a chance to air. Now one of my cats is curled up on it, sleeping soundly.
- Did finalise an accountant business card design I've been thinking about for two whole weeks, for a graphic assignment I've got. Now just to do the same for the magician.
- Had lunch.
- Played with my kitten (important, or he starts running rampage throughout the house).

*took out the trash

I have so much to do today and Im SO SO sick to my stomach. Im going to try to work while I feel up to it then rest when I feel sick again. Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to getting things done. The movers are bringing everything back from Okinawa tomorrow
so I need to get some stuff done before they get here..
TO Dos Today:
Finish up the knitting project Im working on
clean up the living room and vacuum up the crumbs
line the cupboards in the kitchen
line the drawers in the kitchen
put away the dishes in the dishwasher and do the next load
hang and put away clothes as best as possible
put together drawers that are apart and all over the bedroom floor
try to at least put all the stuff that doesn't have a home yet in one room so the movers can come in easier
clean bathroom and put down rugs
sew 1 project bag
sew 4 living room curtains and hang (needs to be hung before TMO comes tomorrow)
take a shower
shopping list
go out and get yarn for 1 project and some food
have the girls do a few Valentines day projects
Im sure there is more but I doubt Ill get that done. Off to start because if I don't at least start something then I KNOW nothing will get done
Ive decided to alternate 10 minutes of working with 10 minutes of doing something that doesn't require me to be up on my feet. Hopefully then I can get some stuff done.. First 10 minutes Im going to clean up the living room, put the air mattress away and vacuum up the crumbs. When Im done with that Im going to spend 10 minutes knitting.
Sorry you're feeling so yucky, Okimom! That makes it really hard to get things done. It must be exciting to have your things coming tomorrow!
Despite taking meds and lying down at a decent hour I could not get to sleep until at least 4:30 this morning, but I made sure to get up at 11:00 so I can get things done. I'm so done with this insomnia, darn it! Go awaaaay!
I'm dressed, put a load of laundry together for DH to take to the complex laundry room to wash--I'll hang it later.
My hopes for today:
*hang laundry
*sort through at least 2 drawers in the living room
*minestrone for dinner
*walk
*clean the outside of the 2 drawers & 2 cupboards beside the stove--they're so gross!
Happy Valentines Day! DH got me a card and a cute pair of Valentine socks.
So far I've cleaned the outside AND inside of one drawer and the second drawer has been emptied and sprayed down. Didn't make sense not to do the insides since I was doing the outsides. I also wiped down the fridge.
ETA: Clean inside and outside of both drawers and cupboards, woot! Purged a handful of things into the trash and giveaway box in the process. DH has gotten into the spirit and is doing some dusting.
*hang laundry I also put away the dry laundry from the racks
*sort through at least 2 drawers in the living room Sorted through the whole sideboard/dresser thingy! Helps that I did it a few-ish months ago
*minestrone for dinner Just need to put the leftovers in the fridge and freezer
*walk And returned about 100 cans/bottles for deposit as part of the walk
*clean the outside of the 2 drawers & 2 cupboards beside the stove--they're so gross! Cleaned the outsides and insides
Also shredded some papers, boxed up a return to ship back to Amazon tomorrow, and folded about a dozen paper cranes. I was on a roll today. Sooo thankful my pain and mood have been pretty good today! And hubby did a bit of dusting, tidied my cooking mess, and swiffered the kitchen floor. When he sees me doing things he wants to do things too, yay!
Good Morning. It's a low energy morning, so I'm taking it easy. I think it's going to rain today...
I'm so blah today. Just drank a fruit smoothie. Hopefully that'll pep me up.
Today I:
*made breakfast and
*got DD off to school
*gathered the trash
*answered a job related email
*made the bed
*finally put away all of the clean clothes!
*sorted dirty clothes
*washed 5 loads of laundry
*made a job phone call
*made lunch and rinsed the dishes
*read a little and napped
*paid for my professional exam. Yes!
*had Subway for dinner
I hope to:
