I am getting OBSESSED!

[Roryrory]

I am counting down the days til I become a full-time SAHM for 14 MONTHS(!) and am starting to get a little obsessed about planning my cleaning, menu planning and kid-activity routine.

I am spending nearly every lunchtime pouring over SAHM blogs about cleaning routines, craft activities, baking weeks, once-a-month cooking, using home-made cleaners and the like. I can't WAIT! I am going to have the PERFECT house! Everything will be perfect and labelled and gorgeous and I will get to wear my APRON!

Then I remember - I will have 3 children to care for. Two will be at kinder (different class times of course) and one will be a breastfed baby. There goes the routine LOL!!!!

[Party-of-five]

At least you have good intentions

[Liviam]

LOL!! Very funny Aurora. I was exactly the same before DS was born. Now on my last day of maternity leave I'm racing around like an idiot trying to ge some of the things crossed of my to-do list. Hopefully you will be more successful than me. Where is the once-a-month cooking site?

HAHAHA
I dream about my perfect house and how everything will be wonderful... then i wake up to 3 kids who are already fighting and make a mad dash to the bathroom thanks to some morning sickness and it all goes out the window ROFL

Mmmmm, I wonder if I could hire one of those SAHM's above

Don't forget to add in your BB time, grocery shopping, only a little bit of cleaning, the essential washing the clothes and gossiping at Kinder drop off and pick up, the time it takes you to get out of the house for Kinder drop off and pick up, I could add a lot more but that would take the excitement out of what it may be like for you ....I hope you joined the "lazy housekeepers anonomys' thread

[CharlieBrownGirl]

Reminds me when I moved out of home "I'll have heaps of time to do a, b & c" (none of which included domestic duties) and MIL just smiled knowingly that it won't be that easy.

I aspirer to be like you... I have so many plans whilst on Mat Leave. I think I would add exercising in the mix as well...

My friends with children smile and laugh knowingly that my plans will not go to plan.... so for now I'm just waiting on that BFP.

Wishing you all the best in your domestic dreams

[Roryrory]

Oh yeah, I forgot exercising and having the perfect body by the time #3 is 6 months old LOL!

Can I also add my intention to start gardening (wha hahahahh!!)

Liviam if you google "OAMC" you'll get heaps of hits.

I love obsessed. I wish I was more obsessed. But I've been pretty good lately

[littlelara]

Coffee dates, girlie chatter...You'd better pencil me in to that schedule of yours!!
