I have a roast on the go and the DCs are playing a card game in the living room. The baby is playing quietly on the play mat for once. All is calm. What’s going on in your house?

DH left early to go to work. The teens are still in bed and doubt I will see them until lunch as they were up very late watching Netflix. I'm just about to have my 2nd coffee then I am arming myself to spring clean our en suite! Later on DD and I are going grocery shopping and she has promised to cook Chicken Alfredo for dinner. Think I will finish The Mirror & the Light today and I know I will cry Sad

@Mammabear31 I forgot it was a bank holiday today Grin

DD 3 is asleep in bed, newborn DS is asleep in my arms. DH is putting on his shoes and hoodie for a late might supermarket run. Haven't been in a while and need to stock up again. I'll be catching up on Netflix (Ozark) because I keep falling asleep watching with DH, and filling in the paperwork for DS's birth certificate.

I am having a long long bath while my husband is with the kids I needed some peace and quite !

ComeOnEileen11 · 13/04/2020 11:31

2 year old napping pre lunch. DH pottering in the garden. I'm resting on the sofa and chilling. My excuse for not being useful is being almost full term with DC2 Grin

We had a productive day today. The older two did lessons in the morning and early afternoon whilst I took care of the baby. In the late afternoon before dinner, we painted some pine cones. I have also completed the paperwork for DD’s legal birth certificate so we can register her birth and her baptism ceremony is happening this Saturday.

Zisforstripyoss · 13/04/2020 20:12

We're currently all watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull. DD9 is glued, she loves Indiana Jones.

I've been at work today and DH and DC have been gardening and playing.

lucysmam · 13/04/2020 20:38

Dd1 is learning lines from Heathers (musical) for some reason...not sure why.

Dd2 is singing songs from Six.

I'm drinking tea, just about to crack open an Easter egg, and probably mooch about the Internet for a while. Or maybe scroll Pinterest.

I finished my book last night & my Kindle's out of charge so I'll start my new one tomorrow.

dyscalculicgal96 · 13/04/2020 22:11

All three children plus my partner are currently asleep. So I am now sitting down in the living room watching a funny movie quietly instead. I am yawning slightly however so I am probably going to bed soon once I have filled up my hot water bottle for sleep. And DS surprised me earlier today at dinner but in a good way. Both of the older children did their lessons with me today as well. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?

managedmis · 13/04/2020 22:13

I am in here, DD is watching Peppa, DS is downstairs, DH is listening to 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' and pouring wine

It's throwing it down.

We're on pie for dinner

managedmis · 13/04/2020 22:13

On here, not in here

dyscalculicgal96 · 14/04/2020 20:00

Today was fairly productive. All three are in the living room. I interviewed some new tutors today to see if they were good or not. Additionally I tutored my three pupils and they enjoyed it. It was a simple math lesson on counting using bar charts and their uses as well. That was quickly followed by a spelling and reading lesson for all three. I helped my little 5 year old sister with her history homework and then taught her a science lesson too. I used the Internet for the history and science lessons to show her some videos and make a list of fun science experiments in addition.

I am waiting for my DP to come off the phone to his sibling. It's his birthday and cake is waiting!!!

dyscalculicgal96 · 15/04/2020 20:40

Funny sort of day. I have had to turn on my heater and poke up the fire too. It is nice and toasty too. My LO spit up all over her trach at breakfast so I had to call another mom for some advice. What did you all do today?

ellabella18 · 17/04/2020 13:51

Very dull day here, I'm not dressed, DS1 on the ps2 in his room, DS2 building Lego, DD having a nap, DH wfh, I'm really struggling to get motivated to do anythingConfused

Rockbird · 17/04/2020 13:59

Not much. DH is working at the dining table. DD1 is upstairs catching up on some school work. DD2 and I are watching Shrek and drinking tea. I'm eyeballing my Easter egg on the shelf...

SpillTheTeaa · 17/04/2020 14:01

Just baked a cake.
DS has had a poocano and to make it worse rubbed his shit in himself... WOO 🥳

Giggorata · 17/04/2020 14:10

DH has gone out for a couple of hours to his solitary retirement job and I will be washing up, cleaning out the recycling bin, and doing a bit of hoovering, when and if I get my arse off this sofa..

Bluesheep8 · 17/04/2020 15:07

I'm stuck in the spare room WFH. DP doing the same downstairs

AppleFruitloaf66 · 17/04/2020 15:17

Dh is in the garden playing about with his bike.

I’m in the conservatory listening to Absolute 70s as it’s a bit breezy to sit out there.

I did manage a walk earlier though, about 20 minutes before I walked into some brambles, lovely scratched feet now lol 😂 .

moolady1977 · 17/04/2020 15:30

I deep cleaned the bathroom ,kitchen and living room and now relaxing on the sofa for 10 minutes oh is in the garden trying to make it look something like where we can sit and eat ,it's a shared garden with flat downstairs but we each have our own side . I'm not planning on doing much else apart from making tea when oh picks up his DD later , dcat is laid on the bed in the big bedroom sleeping after I scared her with the hoover

MinnieMountain · 17/04/2020 15:59

DS is playing Minecraft, DH is working, MIL is reading.

I've just sent my signed furlough agreement to HR and dealt with school governor stuff for our first remote meeting next week.

Shosha1 · 17/04/2020 16:03

I'm knitting, listening to a book on Audible and MN alternatively.
The dog is snoozing on my feet.
DH is fitting a new bathroom 😁
I got the best job.

Adelais · 17/04/2020 16:49

Baby is asleep in her bouncer although is due a bottle soon so won’t be for long. Dd1 is watching The powerpuff girls and I’m watching Malory Towers on iplayer. Had a very lazy day mostly watching tv as struggling for motivation.

OhNoNoNoNotThatOne · 17/04/2020 17:15

Dh is playing a one man Metallica concert the guitar, ds is sat watching him completely enthralled.
I'm sat on the sofa reading/mumsnetting with the dog cuddled up next to me. Contemplating making dinner shortly, not sure what I fancy cooking though.
