What do you need to tackle today? My girls room is ankle deep in toys. I need to round them up, sort, and do a toys swap out.

But first the boy needs a nap, I think.

I've *got* to make 2 phone calls today. One makes my head just spin, thinking about the details.

I also need to sort/switch over ds1, 2 and 3's clothing.

Some poke me later to see if I did it. :bag

Ok, picked up LR
Found a place to store bulk TP :lol
Cleared the bar

The boy has built himself a soccer goal and is playing so nicely that I could bear to put him to bed. Temporary reprieve, buddy.

Hi. My motto for the day is "One Basket at a Time."

So, one basket of laundry, or one basket of stuff that needs to be put away every time this bumps.

So far, I've washed four (FOUR!!) loads of laundry, and I've dried two. Those will be the first things to be folded and put away. Then I'll fill that basket up with stuff that's out of place and put that away. By then, the laundry in the dryers downstairs should be done, and I'll fold that and put it away. Then more stuff. Until I'm done!


I think this should work! Here I go!

One phone call done (which resulted in the need to make another one, but it needs to wait until dh is home)

Off to do the second one....

Yay! I hate when phone calls are looming.

Two enormous baskets of laundry (four loads) folded and put away.


Also, one post-tonsillectomy kindergartener hydrated, if minimally.

K, so, FWIW, I'm not a total flake, and I did get to the girls room. Spic & SPan now! One bin of toys put up, one big bag of old dress up clothes taken to goodwill.

I kept busy all day. Just didn't check in much because I was afraid I wouldn't get back up. :shifty
