Tuesday 5 Minute Challenge

MamaPepper · 02-10-2009, 08:20 AM

I was looking for it and didn't see one, but I'm thinking that with my lack of motivation today, and the fact that I think I'm going to be sitting down to GCM a lOT b/c of it. . I figured I better get this going

WOW RLM. . . That IS a long list!!!! You can do it!!

I started doing a "general pickup" and then we had a meltdown so I spent about 15 minutes rocking ds1. . .

But before that, I did get my calendar and my "list board" hung up on the walls and out of the way. . I also wrote a list of things I would like to accomplish today, AND before the baby is born. . .

My MAIN thing today will be to make banana bread out of my overly ripe bananas. . . and then about 100 other things that I'm sure the boys won't let me get too. . .

At any rate, I digress. . . I'm off to go do another 5 since RLM posted

MamaPepper · 02-10-2009, 08:41 AM

more general pickup. . made all of the beds. . searched for my timer

RealLifeMama · 02-10-2009, 08:49 AM

I peeled the bananas and put them in freezer bags for smoothies.
I decided that they are actually just perfectly ripe, so they are not ripe enough for banana bread. I left enough out for bread, though, and I will do that in a couple days.

How funny that we both were going to make banana bread today, MamaPepper

How funny that we are both wanting to make banana bread from our bananas today.

That IS really funny. . Those bananas have been sitting on my counter for the past week or so. . just calling to me and I haven't done it!! Today just seems like the day!

So, In order to Prep. for making that bread, I cleaned out the kitchen sink, started the dishwasher and made a snack

RealLifeMama · 02-10-2009, 09:02 AM

I don't know why I typed that twice. Pregnancy brain I guess...

I finished loading and started the dishwasher, made DS an english muffin, and started cleaning out the produce drawer of the refrigerator.

MamaPepper · 02-10-2009, 09:25 AM

Realized that the macaroni and cheese I was making myself for breakfast was burning. . .

Put that pan to soak,

Poured a cup of coffee

Found Banana Bread Recipe and set it by the bananas

Sitting back down to drink coffee and eat Mac n Cheese (it is homemade btw

)

And as I was typing this. . I looked down and my little trash compactors just ate all of my Mac n Cheese . . . AAAArrrrrrghhhhh.

RealLifeMama · 02-10-2009, 09:43 AM

I haven't heard that story!!! Enlighten me!

I know I started this, BUT I'm not going to get anything done with these two little boys being the crazies they are, so since it's about 55 degrees out right now, we're heading outside to get a little big energy out and I'll be back to this after that!!!!

charla · 02-10-2009, 09:53 AM

made two beds and tidied two bedrooms
opened blinds
took one look at DS's room and decided that will have to be on the agenda as soon as our school work is finished

RealLifeMama · 02-10-2009, 09:55 AM

I folded the rest of the basket of laundry.
One down, three to go. Yes,three, plus what is in the dryer currently.

ETA; Here is If You Give a Mom a Muffin. It is modeled after If You Give a Mouse a Cookie/Pig a Pancake, Moose a Muffin, etc.
