Renai Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm trying to recover from my trip to town and back and get to work on the house. I ate "lunch" - a chocolate protein bar that I spread a thick layer of peanut butter on top of. Because peanut butter. #foodofthegods. Now I'm having an iced decaf coffee (with sweet n low, vanilla and milk). I'm still thinking of doing my desk, shelves and school piles first as that seems more satisfying than other cleaning tasks. I think if kids were gone for the day and I turned on music I could knock this out. Heck if kids were gone and I had music, I might be able to conquer the world. I'm currently working on my presentation that I outlined on paper at around 2am this morning. I have another 25 with this, then I'm going Konmari on my clothes. I'll see what I can knock out in 1 hour. In the meantime, dd right now is watching Smile of a Child while she eats the breakfast she put together (cherries, banana, bread, cheese stick, chocolate coconut milk), then she wants to watercolor. I'll put on either music or stories during that time. I wonder how long she'll stay cooperative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm seriously considering a part-time nanny for the mornings if I take this job. Then she would bring Little to my class for the second session. Dd is so not a morning person. Then I wouldn't have to rearrange her gymnastics class (Monday @ 10), and she could go to the Botanical Garden activities every week. And, I'd have someone to call when I have to go to all day training. It really wouldn't cost too much more than all day daycare. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Would that even be worth it financially to take the job then? Yes. Since I and the girls still would qualify for Medicaid, I won't have to pay insurance, which is a huge hunk of the check. I would still have a good size check left over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Well, I'm still digging out clothes. At one point of time (I refuse to say when), my girls were playing in the closet and knocked a whole lot of our clothes down to the floor. That, on top of the boxes of baby clothes they played with and never put away, equals piles of clothes to dig through just to find mine. (You are getting an idea of the state of my home.) I'm almost done with pulling out my clothes- maybe 10 more minutes. Little is outside, so I'll be moving my work to the living room (for sorting) to keep an eye on her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Good! I totally understand where you're coming from with not wanting to tell your husband. We do the same thing. But depending on the situation you really need your honey's support. Here is how it went. He first admonished the kids that they must be diligent in their chores and help mommy extra and be quiet when she takes a nap today. Then he asked if there was anything he could do, aside from picking up ice cream on the way home from work. :) (I heart dh) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
