Tress Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have such bad nights with my 2yo at the moment, that we all overslept to 8:30. Which is a miracle, because usually the kids are up before 7 am. So I'm not really complaining ;), I really needed that extra time to sleep, but it sure makes for a really short morning. Which makes me feel hurried. Done: -Math, Reading and Latin with kids -translated one chapter of CWP3 (7 out of 15) -one load of laundry Time for lunch now.

JustEm Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yesterday got away from me. Too much misbehaving from the kids turned into a mom who just wanted to shut down (and I did!) Today isn't starting off well with the kids but I'm determined to turn that around. Time for the park to hopefully get tons of energy out and them I'm hitting the to do list. Sweep downstairs Organize last 2 closets One normal load of laundry launder cloth diapers clean master bath clean master bedroom Vacuum upstairs hallway Thats all I'm making myself do today. Anymore and I may go insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garddwr Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I had another sleepless night with a sick baby. If I could only get a nap in...seems it's impossible to rest with five kids in the house.

Tress Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am amazing myself :D. My dh is on a business trip and I'm doing everything solo this week, but I had dinner ready at 6:00 pm sharp! And while cooking spaghetti bolognese sauce, I also thoroughly cleaned the kitchen. A-ma-zing, if I say so myself :). Done: -cooked dinner -cleaned kitchen -post dinner clean up -walked to the post office -tried to buy&download some mp3s from Amazon. 'Not available to non-US customers'. -tried to buy&download some mp3s from Amazon.uk 'Not available to non-UK customers'. What is wrong with Amazon/the seller, don't those people want to make money?? I don't want anything strange or illegal, I want a Lingua Latina mp3 file! Emailed dh to get him to ask a UK co-worker to buy the mp3.

swellmomma Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 waiting for kitchen floor to dry so I can get back to the rest of the house, having a cup of coffee while I wait. I got my shower in. Did some more work in the kitchen and livingroom. Sent the girls with the pups for a walk so I could sweep and wash the kitchen floor. Did so on my hands and knees, I always forget how long that takes compared to how long when I use the steam mop. As soon as the floor is dry I will be doing the necessary vacuuming throughout the house, hopefully before the pups are home since they are scared of the vacuum. Then off to finish the livingroom first, kitchen second. I have 90 minutes before the first interview (well 90 minutes minimum we said between 2-3) and I want the place spotless and perfect. It won't always be that way during the day (though always safe and sanitary) but first impressions and all that, kwim. So thoroughly enjoying this coffee because it will be my last break until after the interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plath Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am so glad I did the prepwork for dinner because we just got home and I am so tired. Sitting for a few and then bathtime and making the sauce for dinner. Everything else is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 well my 2 pm interview rescheduled for next week. Her little one just threw up. So my panic about being ready is over lol. Have a little left to do to feel the inside is perfect for my 5pm. And gives me time to get that exterior entrance area finally done, it's been on my list all week.Anyway, the things I did finish in the meantime, cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed the alcove, vacuumed the backroom and put gate up, I have 1 sink of dishes left to wash (found them in the boys room), and in the livingroom I broke it into 3rds, so 2/3 are laminate floiring with 1/3 of area rug between. 1/3 of the room is spic and span, laminate washed, dusting done etc. the area rug/couch area is clean, cushions plumped but still have to vacuum. The other 1/3 I have 1 table top to finish cleaning off and then sweep and wash that section of laminate. Between the kitchen and livingroom I figure 30 more minutes of work. Then I am taking a late lunch break before tackling the exterior. The office and the rest of the boys room I had always planned to do after my 2nd interview while waiting to pick ds up from work.

swellmomma Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Geeze finish the kitchen and all the kids show back up hungry for lunch. Make a mess. Eat. And run back out the door. Have to clean it again. And sawyer woke up and proceeded to poop 3 times on various carpets in the house. Runny icky poops. So those carpets are freshly scrubbed. Now I eat and make my own mess in the kitchen before I reclean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 HIRED! 1 fulltime kid. Just for the 1 month of harvest but it is a start. Another interview tomorrow and then a 3rd next week. My one tomorrow she has already said 100% her kids will come here she just wants them to meet me. So things are looking up for sure. BEtween temporary kids and the p/t timers September I will earn enough to renew my expired license plates (and pay the outstanding speeding tickets), and get my boy cat fixed. Dinner has started cooking. and doing a written assignment as part of an online writing job that pays $25-30 per piece used if you get hired. So doing that while I cook and eat dinner, then can submit it. Writing articles for our homeschool board magazine that have been published has given me a huge boost of confidence to even try for this.

swellmomma Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 The only thing not finished (besides school) on my list today is the boys room. Everything else is done, and since it is now going on 11:15pm I am going to bed. I'll just bump the boys room over to tomorrow's list.
