When this thread pops up in new replies, set a timer for 5 minutes and go do something productive. Then come back and tell us what you did to give us that are reading and posting a

to get up and go do something productive.

I feel like a hypocrite starting this, because I feel like I always bail in the afternoon, but I have got to get motivated!
I have so much to do to finish final preparations of the house for this baby. I have been bouncing between the kiddos and GCM all morning!
I will be doing some more school with the kiddos in a little bit, but need to do housework instead of reading and posting while they don't need me.

Earlier today I cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, made the beds and tidied the bedrooms.

Right now I'm working on my menu and grocery list

Aisling · 02-09-2009, 11:01 AM

I'll play.

So far, I've bagged up three bags of maternity clothes after sorting them into appropriate destinations, and pulled out the few roomy PP clothes and hung them up. My closet looks nice and bare now.

Been working on laundry, and then C told me he was tired and wanted to take a nap, so I have been trying to get him down for a nap. But, I think he has changed his mind, and now he is just refreshed enough to be wide awake for the next few hours.

flipped laundry, put another load in, folded some

I need this today for sure! My house looks like a tornado hit it after we had a fun weekend and didn't tidy the house up at all.

In between homeschool activities today, I need to do some cleaning.

I put in a load of laundry and made a to-do list for the day.

RealLifeMama · 02-09-2009, 11:51 AM

took care of some mail

Aisling · 02-09-2009, 12:06 PM

Load of laundry, made the kiddos lunch

RealLifeMama · 02-09-2009, 12:21 PM

Doing general tidy of living room and entryway.

I do not feel like I am getting very far, nor making much progress. I am so slow moving these days.

ITU. I feel like I"m cleaning for half an hour, and resting for an hour.

I'll be even slower a few weeks from now, too.

Garland · 02-09-2009, 12:24 PM

Switched the laundry

Loaded the dishwasher

Aisling · 02-09-2009, 01:11 PM

Gave "under the couch" it's quarterly cleaning. :P Now I'm off to do under the cushions of the same couch...we had a cheerio disaster earlier today.

Also managed to let the kids play outside for about an hour.

Garland · 02-09-2009, 01:16 PM

Made lunch and cleaned up.

RealLifeMama · 02-09-2009, 01:18 PM

Desperately trying to get my kitchen cleaned up and dishes done.
