*wave*

DS1 wants arts & crafts (which requires supervising) , but right now I want to vegetate and do nothing after only just being back home from outing...ah, yes, hot cuppa much needed...then arts&crafts

living+playroom floor definitely needs some scrubbing - but only after boys are in the bed

chopping vegs need to happen too for dinner

ambitious list later...

You know what happens when little baby sneaks away bottle of glitter...

Next time - always investigate when a 15 month old is suddenly quiet...1 min is a long time!

Swept floors , dusted surfaces in front room and rinsed the floors. Can't really call it mopping , more of a wipe with a damp towel.

Took care of the sickly cat (skin issues).

Now taking care of the sickly 18yo daughter. I thought they needed tending when they were small. :phew Holy Cow is she needy when she's sick. BUT...that's what a mama is here for.Sick children take precedence , and conveniently it gets me out of bigger housework for the day. :shifty :giggle

I almost always read these , but never post. Thanks for doing these threads. It keeps me motivated. :heart

Does mopping up the wet floor count as washing the floor, no?

Bedsheets done! Kids put to bed before 11pm - one of the better nights!

Body wants to collapse and do nothing on sofa but dinner has not been cleared from table ...groan.

Laundry loaded at least.

Floor still needs scrubbing but at least DH will take care of that one.
