Remudamom Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Gah!!! I am halfway through two boy rooms. Most of the time I leave their rooms alone except for having them pick up their clothes and trash but it was time for me to go over them. One dd not living at home anymore had a bunch of stuff stored in one closet so I got her on the phone and went over stuff piece by piece. We did great! I didn't get frustrated with what she wants to keep and she didn't have a hissy on what I wanted to toss! Garage needs to be swept out but that's for the boys to handle. I need to clean the carriage house but might have to wait for the weather to cooperate. Have to change sheets in the girl room, oldest dd is bringing her roomie home for the weekend so I'll have some girl company! Yay! And oh yes, cleaning the boy rooms always uncovers hidden laundry so that's to do! Thankfully I cleaned and organized the laundry room last week so at least I have a work-ready area!

KrissiK Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 We're on day two of Daddy gone to a trade show in Munich, Germany and not doing too well. So, my goal is to get through this day! DS2 is a mess and the others are just crabby and I am trying to be strong and kind and patient and full of grace, but honestly, they are driving me nuts. Thankfully, my in-laws offered to watch the kids while I get my allergy shot and run to Target this afternoon. I may supplement that with a Starbucks. Now, to just get through school this morning.

Mom in High Heels Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 You and your tackle days! I'm still not feeling it. I did manage to get *some* things done. Breakfast Swept LR and DR School Cleaning up kitchen after I spilled half the stuff from the science experiment on the floor *sigh* Went to fill out the paperwork for my int'l license Got a VAT form, so I don't have to pay the 19% tax on the repair work for JB's car Got a DD something-something-something form so we can get on the housing list at Ft. Lewis Lunch Put away some clothes I folded last night while watching MacGyver (don't ask) School Wrote a naughty chapter for my latest fan fiction (Oh, that's right, I write fan fiction!) Nap Thought about doing stuff. Decided not to. Packed (mostly) for our trip t Luxembourg Wiped down all the mirrors and glass doors in the house Showed the dog sitter where everything is for our dog while we're gone Dinner Watched Phineas and Ferb with Indy Gave Han Solo a bath Watched Mouk with Han Solo (I love Mouk!) I am officially off the hook for the weekend because we leave in the morning for Luxembourg and won't be back until Sun evening. YAY!

Ravin Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm in. so far: Folded diapers Fed children breakfast Got children ready to go Got myself ready to go Took toddler to daycare about 1/2 an hour later than planned (because I reset my alarm when it woke me at 5 to wake me at 6) Finally remembered to mail something important that's been sitting in my bag to drop in a mailbox for 2 days Now I'm sitting in the law library alternating between goofing on the laptop and studying. This will continue until I get very hungry, then I'll go fetch my lunch from the dungeon (locker room in the law school basement) and do more of the same until my afternoon class. DD is at AIMS testing, a friend will drop her home. DH definitely has dinner in hand tonight, we talked about it before I left. I also remembered my phone charger!

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 You and your tackle days! I'm still not feeling it. You make it sound like I'm feeling it. I'm not. That's why I have tackle days - to get me to do stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameena Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Mom in High Heels - what kind of fanfiction? I write Harry Potter Fanfic, when I get time to. So far today, I've shuffled the laundry, carried the trash, decluttered a little and put things away in the laundry room, and had breakfast :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Right, it's Friday morning here, nearly 8.30am. I need to do a reasonable amount to get things under control. Shower Make bed and tidy bedroom Tidy kitchen Hang out laundry and do more of the pile that never ends Fold laundry Make something for supper Make sure children are ready for their show tonight Work with DD1 on school work Make lunch for blossoms Organise something for a quick dinner on the run Make sure living areas are tidy before we go out Make sure 3yr old does not trash the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you seem so darn chipper about it. :tongue_smilie: Mom in High Heels - what kind of fanfiction? I write Harry Potter Fanfic, when I get time to. So far I've only published anything for Stargate SG-1. Darn writers never gave the Jack/Sam(antha) shippers what we wanted, so I have to make it up. I've got 5 stories on fanfiction.net right now, one of them is a WIP at over 30K words. The others range from 4-11K words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 But you seem so darn chipper about it. :tongue_smilie: I motivate myself by cheering others on. That's why I'm an assistant in Zumba - it helps me not to focus on the fact that I can't breathe and am about to fall over! 2:15 report - School done with dd11. Kitchen sort of cleaned today. See - sometimes I only tackle things half way! Libby the wonder dog's dressing changed and paws all taken care of, much to her intense relief. Now I"m going to go to the chiropractor.

Ameena Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 6:30pm check in - ALL the towels folded - this took nearly an hour to finish, as I had a lot. Still need put away, but I have to find a place first. another load of laundry done books for next year for a friend's dd researched {I'll be hsing her} Now I'm resting for a bit, and then I'll tackle trying to find a place to put the towels. Only thing I hate about this house is the total lack of storage space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Check in. Garage didn't get done but laundry and boy rooms are finished! Vacuumed all but upstairs and dishes are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've sort of popped and fizzled all day. This afternoon I got: PM school done. Chiropractor done. Put gas in the car. Checked out one store that I thought had what I needed - they didn't. Took dd to her swim lesson. Now I am hoping that ds gets dinner done before the next millennium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
