haven't achieved much physically - bit warm and feeling awful!
fixed the broken bean bag AGAIN (six year olds REALLY need to learn not to jump on them)
have sorted and catalogued lots though (nerd alert!)
all PS2 games done
all DVD's done (784 by the list!)
kids books done
adult books started (but too many of them to expect to finish too quickly!
arranged a friend to do what i'm no longer able to in the garden - couple of hours a week - including hanging out washing for me. she had difficult pg's as well, and knows what i'm going through, plus she's a SAHM that to school aged kids that needs a change of scenery
nothing too strenuous - but i feel like i'm achieving something - no more "have we got this" - will be a few little folders DH can put his hands on and look it up (or ask me to do it - much more likely!)
I just brought a load of washing in off the line (it rained yesterday and got it all wet again so I've been waiting for it to dry)...
That's all. Oh, did some dishes this morning.
Very slack day today. But I got a lot done yesterday while DD was at daycare so I'm calling that my effort for the week hehehe. I'll have to do a bunch of stuff tonight once she's gone down, but until then I can't really get into mopping or anything important.
i am sooo tired. At 11pm last night the veins on top of my hand were bulging. This Aussie day weekend, the max amount amount of time i sat would equate to not more than 1 hour (incl. meal times).
I -
--> cleaned both bathrooms (baths, showers, basins, toilets)
--> mopped entire house floorboards and tiles
--> dusted entire house (incl. window sills)
--> took down drapes, and sheers on onside of the house (4 rooms), washed, hung, ironed, put up
--> wiped kitchen cupboard surfaces as well as fridge, dishwasher
--> prepared b''fasts, cooked dinners on all 3 nights, one of which was a bbq and had friends over (so extra special salads, desserts etc..)
--> did the weekly shop
--> iron two baskets of clothes
--> clothes washing and hanging
--> the regular dishwashing after meals etc
--> attended to everybody's beck and call "mummy, i want this or i want to eat that"
--> changed nappies every 1/2 hour due to Ela having the runs
--> changed bed sheets
I am soooooo exhausted. And now, i'm at work. I need a break! Why do i have to be a clean freak?
Thanks for listening to me winge.
^ Amen, ladies. Just had five days of explaining to DH that yes, I felt like curling up in a ball and dying because I am really, really sick, but unfortunately I still have to take care of things around here while he's a miserable, snotty sack of useless.
Anyway, I had to go shower a bit earlier because today I've done two loads of laundry, three lots of dishes (I swear I don't know where they come from, I haven't even had breakfast yet!), swept, vacuumed and mopped the floors, cleaned the pets' water and food bowls out, and still had time to get a couple of cigarettes in.
Successful day for me
Today I have vacuumed and mopped my kitchen/dining/family room area, done 2 loads of washing, cooked honey soy sesame chicken (home made marinade), loaded the dishwasher and set that to run, neatly organised my new sewing stuff that I got yesterday from my Grandpa. About to bath my daughter and get her ready for bed.
Did the usual make beds, dusted the bedside tables, picked up dh's clothes . .
Cleaned two bathrooms/mopped/toilets/mirrors etc
Vacumed & moped the whole house
5 loads of washing - I dont know if I have the energy left to bring it in
Made a Pasta Bake, a Sultana Cake, a Tuna Bake, Curried Sausages, and peeled potatoes/carrots and pumpkin vegies for a Roast Chicken tonight
Did all the dishes for the above (we dont have a dishwasher ) !!!!!
Wiped down all the kitchen cubourds
Swept under the pergola (the wind had pushed all the leaves under)
Now I have to go out and water the plants (water tank) as they are looking parched !!
Done 3 loads of washing and have the 4th in the machine
Done 2 loads of dishes in the dishwasher and have the 3rd going (there were a lot of big things which is why so many).
Folded clothes
Cleaned out my wardrobe and donated about 10 bags of clothes to charity (boy was that well overdue and didn't it just feel great!).
I was going to clean the bathroom while DD slepted but then I got into the wardrobe and did that instead.
It feels heaps later than it really is so I know I can get heaps more done today, maybe 2 or 3 more loads of washing.
*Done 1 load of dishes (handwashing dammit!)
*Washed and dried 1 load of clothes
*I have a load of tea towels and enjo gloves washing
*Scrubbed the shower - I don't generally look at the bottom of the shower, noticed it the other day, and boy was I embarrassed!

Bedroom needs doing but DH has foolishly offered to do it, so I'm gonna hold him to it! I actually get bored these days - it takes me all of 15 minutes to do my housework, and then I've got nothing to do!! So I've just measured up my windows and am going to attempt making curtains on Friday

Other things I also got done today:
