swellmomma Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 So many of us have projects on the go right now, so I thought it would be nice to have a place to post the things you accomplish. NO matter if it is a big project or a little one, come post the things you have accomplished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I showered today. :lol: (Hey, I told my DH last night that I wasn't getting out of my pajamas until January 3rd, so this is a major accomplishment!) I'm printing off some stuff for our new science program. I put away our Christmas dishes. I threw away, ate or froze the rest of the Christmas goodies. (The 'ate' part is why I have to get up and work out in the morning!) I made a list of Thank You cards we must write. I threw out the two sad looking poinsettias. (Now I realize I should have saved one for science. :glare:) Low expectations for today = I actually am ahead of the game. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that means no shower yet today, :D It is a good accomplishment Go salvage 1 pointsettia from the trash if you can, it can still be good for science. ;) I like your thinking about the low expectations :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthwestMom Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The 10,000 Barbie accessories that were strewn across the master bedroom have been removed! There has to be one space clear of kid stuff, right?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Had a "filing party" with my kids and filed basically a year's worth of bills and other paperwork. Have folded and put away a couple of loads of laundry Cleaned up after Libby who has been throwing up lately.:confused: (I think it is a medicine she's getting. We're making a change as of today.) We're working on thank you notes - a couple every day until they are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yesterday I got dd's room tidied, the Christmas presents put away and the lounge room vacuumed. I finished reading my book and showered. I'm there with you Suzanne :cheers2: Not too bad for a sleep deprived woman. The even more sleep deprived woman's plans for today were to do school (which we've just done and I've figured out how much I need to whittle it down to achieve the speech therapy aims without over taxing ourselves.) Uh, dh is about to take the kids out, so I'll use that time to scrub the floors. Don't you just love "me time?" Then I'll shower (two days in a row! What a winner!) :p and go to the chiropractor. Tonight I plan to sleep fantastically until 8am, with no little people waking me up at any time. Assuming that sleeping plan comes to fruition and I do indeed wake up feeling fabulous, I shall erode Mr Dishmore and while dh takes the kids out, I shall work on prettifying ds' quilt. I got enough done that it wasn't full of pins when I gave it to him, but it isn't finished. I have plans to spend some "me time" actually having me time before dh goes back to work, but who knows if that will happen. If it does, it will see me cutting out some beautiful felt I bought from the Waldorf shop last week, to start some Christmas decorations. I need to know how much felt I'll have left to make the doll house dolls my mother decided not to make for dd for Christmas after all. :glare: And I have only three more days to finish off my knitting challenge for the year! :eek: Ugh. My me time sounds almost as much work as my not me time. Ah well. If showering is classed as an accomplishment, I shall be able to feel good about myself today, whatever happens. :lol: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've spent 2 hours working on my desk area. And you can't even tell. it's gonna be a LONG week. :scared: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I ate half a bag of Lindor dark chocolate peppermint truffles. Oh, you probably don't mean that kind of accomplishment. I showered, did 2 loads of laundry, made fettucine Alfredo for dinner, kept the fire going in the woodstove, and gave two haircuts. I love my woodstove.

Even more of one is that it didn't leave you feeling sick lol I wish I had a wood stove here, though knowing my son he would burn my house down with it, but I have always wanted one.

delaney Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have been watching Hoarders on my Kindle Fire and it inspires me to organize. I am cleaning off the island in the kitchen and it WILL remain clutter free from here out. I am also going to tear apart the walk-in pantry and give it a thorough going over. I did get 4 loads of laundry done but that is normal for me. Classroom reorganization is next on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaAkins Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) I showered and made it out of my pajamas by 2pm today! :lol: I am pretty much caught up on laundry though (including the wet, nasty mess that my husband brought home today from his backpacking trip). I've spent the past two days at home, chilling with the kids and being intentional in playing with all their new Christmas toys with them. I think my biggest accomplishment today was making a list of what I need to do for the remainder of the week. Well, in reality, there's way too much stuff on the list to possibly finish it all in one week....so it may take me until mid-January! But, it's a start! I did manage to write out the majority of our bills for January and work on our budget. I'm hoping to finish our January menu this evening and will work on my grocery list/organizing my coupons tomorrow.

Embassy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 For today: Potty training breakthrough. I worked for a couple hours. Tried to catch-up on my blog. And after the kids go to bed I'll be preparing for the next week of school that starts tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Mathy Mom Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yesterday I got dd6's worksheets together for the month of January and decluttered her outgrown clothes. Today I cleaned out the refrigerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaT Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 All the Christmas gifts and decorations are put away, the house is tidied, the laundry is done, and I had a long bath. I also made sure everything was ready to start school back on Monday. Tomorrow we clean - it doesn't take but an hour so with everyone pitching in, then we are planning to go for a hike. My 14yo cooked dinner so Dh and I could finish putting Christmas things away, so I had a nice steak and mashed potato dinner I didn't even have to cook. Some of our family in Florida sent us a box of Omaha Steaks. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Inna* Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Excellent thread! :D I reorganized dining room/school room closets. Made a "Party" bin - disposable cups, napkins, plates etc., candles, goody bags, birthday banners... Everything is in one place and not in a thousand little bags, shoved in the back of the cupboard. :glare: Put away Christmas decorations (not by choice- my youngest wrestled down the tree) Washed 5 loads of laundry, folded and PUT IT AWAY! :D Shopped at Costco and was very glad I'm not returning anything. The line was looooong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRTGSw2K Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Took down all the Christmas decorations and re-organized the living room. Cleaned both kids' rooms. Returned items at 2 stores, and returned several library books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglei Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Great thread! --Got all the laundry washed, folded, and put away (except for the ironing, of course) --Got an appreciation gift delivered --Got an upcoming birthday present purchased early, wrapped, and ready to be delivered --Got a stack of papers taken care of (filed, trashed, typed up - whatever each needed) --Used up all the leftovers to make a good dinner (refusing to think about the fact that dinner will come around again tomorrow - and it'll have to be from scratch . . .) --Got all the recycled Christmas wrap put away (ds is big into not wasting the wrap, the bows, the ribbons, even the gift tags - if it's a nice piece of wrap yet, then it has to be folded and put with our wrapping supplies to be reused for many more years :D - ya gotta appreciate his recycling mentality and frugality . . .:) ) --got one big stack of stuff organized :):):) That's all I can think of right now - but putting it in writing makes me feel like I actually did accomplish something - just when I was feeling like it had been a wasted day . . . Thanks again for this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've scrubbed the dining room and kitchen floors. Just thought you'd all like to know. :tongue_smilie: Now to the laundry and toilet... Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Not really something that I have actively done but I just found out that I get to direct one of my dream musicals next year at a local community theatre. I am an actor/director at heart but that has all been put on hold for child/work commitments for the past 10 years. I feel like I am finally getting that missing piece of myself back. On the home front, I have done some planning for school both the rest of this year and putting some things on wish list for next year. My brain never stops working there.

swellmomma Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I managed to complete all but 2 items on my to do list today, all while battling a migraine and talking to my big kids on the phone. Since posting this thread, I managed to finish culling and cleaning the girl's room, cleaning the hallway, dropped another load of stuff in the goodwill bins, cleaned the bathroom, did 2 loads of laundry, wheeled the garbage can out to the curb and made tomorrow's to do list. Not bad at all I say :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I ate a Whopper for the first time in 3 years (they just opened the first Burger King on this island) I taught my 7yo ds to play solitaire. I finally cleaned the crayon marks off the wall from several months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
