Melissa in Australia Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 bath twins milk 2 cows 2 loads of washing washed, hung out and dried make week's baking of bread phone from twin's case manager to work out all the final details of the 850km round trip to see birth parents that I am doing this weekend. I am going to be seriously upset if the parents do not turn up after all. it is going to be a nightmare trying to travel this distance on public transport with twins who can barely walk form bust to train etc that cannot fit a twin pram unfolded. I am going by myself - no need to expose my other children to crazies. clean house ( why did I bother?? it is just the same again) finish the year's Science with DD14 and the yers worth of history with ds11. ( school year ends in Dec here in AUs) make a surprise roast for tea - turned out to be a funny cut lamb roast now in the process of making 3 kg raspberry jam washing dishes cleaning kitchen washing a load of nappies after I have done that I will still need to do a day's worth of schoolwork with DS11 who has decided it is way easier to concentrate in the evening after twins are in bed hang nappies and fold washing I am starting to feel exhausted at the 5 am start and the 11 pm finish each day.

mom31257 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Good morning! Ds is sick with very low grade fever and a stuffy nose and sore throat. That really throws a kink into my plans. Today was supposed to be finish up the last 2 things in school and take them shopping for their dad's birthday and Christmas. Dd wanted to shop for her 2 best friends whom she sees late this afternoon for a sleep over. She has been hesitant about driving and getting her license, so she can't go it alone. I'm not sure what all will be tackled today, so I might post as I go. Done: breakfast and lunch for dh cats fed and watered hot lemon-honey water for ds coffee and computer time for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoCandJ Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Good morning, took dd 1 to school and in the process had to remove a deer carcass from the end of my driveway (so she was late). Stopped at Tim Hortons on the way home to use a gift card I won and found out they don't take e-gift cards (they don't have the scanner) I didn't have any cash with me but they gave me my small cafe mocha any ways :D - dishes- done - laundry- load in washer and dryer - tidy house- round 1 done - crochet - get dd1 off bus - employee family party for dh's work - bedtime routine - anything else I manage to get done- took a nap with dd2, cleaned out microwave, cleaned out my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy not in HI Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yay for Friday! so far this morning: breakfast x4 lunches x4 don't forget paper towels for dd to take items bagged up and out by the road before 7am ask dd 13 to take dd16's A day binders to her wrap gift for ds' teacher show ds minute to win it games for his class party to do: tidy up quick bathroom wipe down laundry bread store for cinnamon swirl bread walmart for game items divide up items in to 5 bags print info for bags 11:30 to the school french toast made with cinnamon swirl bread, buttermilk syrup, bacon for dinner work on fingerless gloves - maybe undo and start again do something Christmas-y finish decorating the tree! make carmel corn? cocoa? a craft? a movie? Help kids think about what they are going to make for each other for Christmas. I feel like I sort of lost my week with our unexpected company here from Tuesday to Thursday and I need to sort of pull out gifts and run them through my fingers, er, or look at them or something, just so I can see where I am and if I have just the perfect amount or not. My main concern today is that we have a tradition of making each other gifts. We have done it for the last 4 Christmases or so. The kids have been so creative about what they are making - I just love it! But it requires a little mom intervention. We don't generally start this until after school is out, so we are not behind, but we do need to get going with it. It makes for a fun few days before Christmas - lots of little sneaky elves in the workshop! So, I need to decide what I am making and get that started, and the kids need to let me know what they are making so I can be sure that we have the supplies... ho ho ho!

lionfamily1999 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Dad care is done till this evening. I have the boys dusting the dining room right now. I'm going to get to work in the kitchen (I took two days off, so you can imagine the mess in there). We're going to the library later. I'm going to get Luke into their Scout group since ours broke up. We *might* even get some books. I have to change our sheets, get dinner defrosting, and make some snacks for our movie night. Maybe, I'll wrap some more presents, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlsdMama Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 A little sad - I couldn't replace my warmer but a gal here had a gorgeous Aspen one and I like it! HOMEMADE CHALK PAINT IS FREAKING AWESOME! I was leery of making it myself, but the Annie Sloan stuff is sooooo expensive. Plus, I wanted a specific color. The table is awesome. I'm so happy with it. I painted the bottom and stained and varnished the top of it. Picked it up for $35 at an auction and it looks spectacular. Dry Laquer, Dry!! I want to put my nativity scene up for Christmas tomorrow. And I have my Scentsy line-up chosen. DH says I need to relax about the details. :D :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
