[ReadingMommy]

Just tried to renew my library books and it wouldn't let because they're already a day overdue. I'm a little ticked off because I spent a lot of time selecting those books to do "lessons" with the kids and we haven't finished using them yet.:(

[blondie]

Kombucha taken care of, working on granola balls.

Laundry switched.

:rockon

[Niphredil]

Yeah, my house is bad after this weekend too. AND DH forgot to do his AM chores. :hissyfit

Finishing up my coffee... I'll get up the next time this is bumped. :shifty

No one? :sigh Fine.

Initiative. I has it.

[blondie]

Cranky baby on my back. :( I don't know what her deal is. Poor little babe.

Dishes running again. One more load after this & I'll be caught up.

Running down to check laundry again.

I'm afraid I'm going to need more coffee. :shifty

I was having fun cleaning until the baby got needy. Terrible, huh ? I love cleaning. I could clean all day, but kids throw a wrench in that.

If I can get it clean today, the rest of my week clears up considerably.

Made food for the kidlets too.

[blondie]

I'm throwing in the (dirty) towel. IDK what's up with my kids- probably because I'm grumpy. Chicken or the egg ?

[ReadingMommy]

Notice that almost everything I've gotten done is not actually housework?

well off to put early bird to bed, so no bathroom cleaning, vacumeing or dusting her room.

we will see if I get any thing other than dishes done.

[Niphredil]

Got half of the stuff hing before I had to go run errands. Home again and I'll hop to it in a sec. Maybe I can get two more 5's in before dinner.

[blondie]

I took a two hour nap, woke up all peed on. :giggle You might be a mom if you wake up from a nap covered in pee that's not yours!

It took DH about 5 minutes of being around me before he called and got me an emergency chiropractic appointment. :shifty I don't even recognize how messed up I get. I feel so much better now. Hoping to finish up housework tonight.

Well, this was my final list of accomplishments for the day. Between meals, keeping up with the dishes, DD's nap, Baths, and meeting all the other kids' needs, there was not time left for much else. And this feels like a pretty typical day. Oh, how I need a day to JUST CLEAN while the kids are playing happily elsewhere!:shifty
