I'm joining in for a bit. We have a HS thing from 2-4, so that messes up my flow. :giggle

So far I have:


gotten all dirty dishes into the sink :O
wiped down the stove and dining room table
told the kids to take their clean laundry upstairs and I'm choosing to believe they actually put them away :shifty
baked banana buckwheat muffins for breakfast
put on water to boil for tea and forgot about it :doh


I need to:


wash some dishes
get chickens in the freezer
plan dinner and get out meat
put away clean clothes
take care of chickens
start some new laundry
clean up dog poop :sigh
figure out how to plan a HS field trip by 2:00, when the place that you're going has not put out their event schedule for the day you're supposed to go

I have a ton I need to do today, but it's not going to all get done. :no
DS has preschool from 12:30-3 so that messes up my flow (we have to drive 30 mins to get there each way so I just hang out in town while he's there)

Off to sort some laundry.

Kids decided they didn't want to do yoga after all :phew we did another mile together and another craft (made pipe cleaner xmas trees for their doll house)
I also wiped down the bathroom sink this morning.
The extra child left (she was a CRANK today :sigh) the plus side neither of my kids napped today- so early bedtime...and hopefully no resulting night terrors from over-tiredness :pray4

I am tired. Off to go read with dd2 and pray DH comes home early (he's not due until 6:30)...Today wore me out.

I told DH I wanted a laundry fairy for Christmas. :hissyfit
guess what I didn't get :snooty

why do I hate laundry so much? It's a nice cozy, clean job...The kids don't even have that much clothing in circulation. I just *hate* it. :(

Everytime I go clean I come back and GCM doens't want to load. :hissyfit So I've gotten a fair bit done, just not posted.
