Meh to Magnificient Monday Five Minute Challenge

[richesabove]

Can I start this? I need one so badly RIGHT NOW or i will just sit hear and not even start my day otherwise.

Here I am.

I'm getting up to make myself an egg so my stomach will stop eating itself.

[StoryOfGrace]

I need to join in today, as much as the littles will let me :giggle

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

Today I must: change the sheets on all the bed, and wash the pillows!

Getting the dishes done would be nice, and I need to remember to put my pot roast in the crock pot before noon.

[richesabove]

awwww, I wish I had a crew of little still !!

My youngest is 4 now!!!

Ok, brekky is done. Drinking yum decaf with hot cocoa packets in it :P~

Going to force myself to take vits, put my hair in a bun, and brush my teeth.

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

brushed my teeth
pulled my hair up
delaying on my vits, they make me feel barfy

bbl

[StoryOfGrace]

Awe...4? :happytears

Changed a diaper and played on the floor with both kiddos (because that totally counts :snooty)!

[amydawn]

- I'm on my second load of laundry after my DH didn't have any clean underwear this morning:bag

- waiting for my mom to show up to entertain the kiddos (school's cancelled for Sukkot) so I can do something productive...like make pickles, or maybe just have a shower...:giggle

-dishes are waiting but the baby doesn't want to do anything but nurse this morning so I'll have to just sit on the couch drinking coffee for now:)

[easygoinmomma]

Morning Ladies. :D

Stripped all the beds
Started a load of laundry

[StoryOfGrace]

folded some laundry
starting a load

...and on a related note (WARNING! DH brag ahead!), for the first time in the six years that we have lived in this house...my washer and dryer are not only on the same end of the house, but in the same room!!! :dance
That's one of those little things that you totally take for granted until you don't have it. :giggle
DH had to do some major work (including digging a ditch and cutting through our paved driveway) in order to make that happen. :heart

Off to strip some beds!

[easygoinmomma]

Started morning routine with ds2
Meat out of the freezer
:nak2

[blondie]

I'm up...reluctantly. I have a headache again today, and would have loved to sleep in. :pout /pout

Counters are cleared and wiped, wiped stove, dishwasher running, big stuff soaking.

My house is a wreck because I was at work all day Saturday, and Sundays are crazy here. DH always denies that he lets the house get messy when I'm gone. I should take pictures so I have proof!!

Hoping to get this place shaped up soon, then do school with O, take a walk, and get my grocery list written down.

[richesabove]

Ok,
I'm going to wood glue a piece that broke off our nice banister we had made last year that leads down into our basement! now. before someone gets a splinter.

(why do little things like this bug the gajeebers out of me?) :giggle

[Barefoot Bookworm]

I have a majillionty things to do... I'm trying to caffeinate myself enough to do anything.

Right now I am going to go switch the laundry.

[MaiMama]

folded, dried, started

unload dishwasher

go to WF

feed self and kid enough to make it through trip

order eggs

[blondie]

I copied richesabove and made myself some eggs. SOOO good.

Mac & cheese is cooking for O's breakfast. :shifty WE REALLY NEED GROCERIES. :giggle

After this, I'm going to make a coffee.

[richesabove]

Ok, I have processed some mail, paperwork, planned week out with my man, dressed/groomed 4 yo, I'm hungry again- what gives with that? now I'm going to get the mail cuz more just came adn i'm going to give the kids their vites.

[blondie]

Cream is whipping for my coffee. :rockon

Diapers in wash.
O is eating- starting to goof around so she must almost be done. :giggle

[Niphredil]

Slow start today.

So far I've just picked up the LR and started some bonus laundry. Enjoying my coffee now while the kids play quietly. :heart

[blondie]

Nursey break. :heart

I need to pull myself together. My antsy vibes are making my kiddos a lil :crazy

[Barefoot Bookworm]

Washing diapers. Sorting stuffed animals (and getting rid of 90% of them).

[StoryOfGrace]

Flipped a load (in a matter of seconds :dance)
started another
got the pot roast in the crock pot
now I'm folding laundry

I really want more coffee, but I've had plenty today! :shifty

[blondie]

Yay for your new laundry set up! That would have driven me bonkers.


I'm still chuggin' away. I adjusted my attitude and I'm having more fun now. It also helps that O is watching WordWorld instead of following me around asking me questions.

[Barefoot Bookworm]

Oops, I forgot to add I picked up the upstairs. Book explosion is tamed, dishes are in the sink, beds are made, etc.

[richesabove]

Ok, i'm inspired now to get out that milk frother thingy my sis gave me and make myself a foofoo coffee....hmmmmm

And, yes, laundry machines NEXT to one another, priceless. Gotta love it! :heart

And wordworld. Gotta love it too. Esp for the mama sanity factor.

I've been having a "give a mom a muffin morning" everything leads to one million things. ain't gotta love it. Ha!

now off to help two kids with math. One is in Alg, I love the stuff, but I don't love teaching it! Pray for me. :shifty Pray for my kid:shifty;)

[easygoinmomma]

Showered/dressed
Finished morning routine with ds2 and helped him put away his laundry
Changed and dressed baby
Sauce and meat into the slow cooker
:nak2

Need to make myself a coffee soon and eat something.

[Niphredil]

Hiya, Lex! :heart

Picked up the LR again. It's a small space, doesn't take much to overwhelm it.
Picked up in the girls room.
Loaded the dishwasher.

I'm not eating scrambled eggs cooked by a naked 5 year old. :shifty

[blondie]

Gathered and folded all my baby carriers. :heart Took pictures of my stash. :shifty

Diapers running the rinse load.


My latest coffee obsession is black coffee with a (huge) dollop of real whipped cream sweetened with a bit of pure maple syrup. :melting

[LoveIsGentle]

OK, I haven't done one of these in a while, I'm in too!

- Laundry
- Did a quick grocery trip/put away groceries
- Started washing and slicing up fruits/veggies for snacks
- Now nursing babies while paying bills and planning out dinner for tonight.

[Barefoot Bookworm]

I made lunch! There's a green bean explosion on my basement floor because I allowed them to eat downstairs. Athena's playing educational video games. Can that count for schooling today? :lol I really want to focus on the house...

Next up, tackling the toy shelves. I think I am going to empty one shelf and move it into the homeschooling room. My husband's going to be shocked. Haha. We just have too much STUFF and I need to declutter for the winter when we'll be stuck inside all of the time.

[StoryOfGrace]

Hi Sarah :highfive

Gathered and folded all my baby carriers. :heart Took pictures of my stash. :shifty


aaaaaand you'll be sharing that pic in the baby wearing thread, right??


Folded more, help DS down for his nap, nursed DD and diaper change.
I think I'll attempt dishes now...

Oh, and I'm totally breaking down and making more coffee (half-caff this time). It's a wet dreary day today...need something warm to drink. :yes

[richesabove]

blondie,
I want to see that stash pic!
Lexi,
I'm all about decluttering as well. Esp in time for winter. And, I'm impressed that your kids are eating green beans instead of chips or something. You go girl! lol
Taught the two kids their math. Didn't get snarky like I sometimes do when I get T.E.N.S.E.
Kids and i doing lunch now. The kids ASKED for salad! Oh yeah. Might be because we have eaten too much pizza and brownies lately and we all are craving real food again LOL

Lunch
Lunch Cleanup.

[blondie]

Quick-cleaned H's closet. :shiver It was bad in there. I have 10 million diapers/woolies to sell.

Made my bed. Cleaned up bathroom.

Now to put away laundry, then tidy O's room, then do school. :jump

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

I'll share my stash pic as soon as I upload all the pictures from our camera. :jump Ya'll have to promise to not judge. It's a little crazy. :shifty

[richesabove]

I won't judge you. I'll just be jealous. Is that allowed? :giggle

Eating my lunch. MIne. All mine. Esp the cajun style bbq sauce on the side. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[easygoinmomma]

Switched laundry over
Folded some laundry
Just trying to get baby to nap now

[richesabove]

Ok, I wrote a thank you note and got it ready for the mail.

I have two things to ask my man. He is in his home office. So, about to disturb his work.

After that....I need to work on an organizing list I have going for chores.

Those two things. In that order.

[blondie]

House is clean, school is done, nursing the bebe. :heart

I'm going to put her down for a nap then load/unload the dishes, check the laundry, work on the grocery list, then maybe get dressed and go somewhere fun.

[Barefoot Bookworm]

Put the baby down for a nap. Fought with the OT scheduler on the phone, slammed head against the wall when I realized I missed DS1's OT eval today. Called the foster licensor again to figure out when orientation is and when I can get my hands on the paperwork.

[StoryOfGrace]

Nursed, snuggled, and changed DD after a diaper explosion :yuck

Flipped a load (:dance)

Started another

Put away folded laundry

Finished emptying dishwasher, now gettin' ready to load it and finally have that cup of half-caff!

[Niphredil]

Scrubbed the kitchen counters, outside of appliances, and the dining room table.

[easygoinmomma]

Got ds1 to fold and put away some of his laundry
