What’s Happening In Your House?

[CurryLover55]

What I’m doing & what I should be doing are very different! I should be completely blitzing our bedroom. It’s so cluttered & dusty! I watched the Stacy Solomon programme earlier ( Sort Your Life Out) & felt partly inspired & partly depressed! I would apply but DD12 announced that she wouldn’t let anyone in her room. We have a fairly small house but it’s incredibly cluttered.
I seem to have lost time today. Haven’t been sleeping very well for weeks so it was lovely to get 6 hours straight. Popped to Asda for a new mop & some Christmas decorations for DD’s room. I’ve defrosted some of DH’s pizza dough & he will make a sauce later then we’ve got various toppings. Can’t wait for the next episode of Angela Black tonight.

just had lunch with PILs.
they are playing scrabble with DH & DD. normally I love playing but still feel ill so I went to my bedroom to lie down.

once they left I'm rearranging the dinner tables, I need to start sorting clothes and it's easiest to do it on a large, flat surface while watching TV!😁

DS5 is going to a party in an hour. DH will pick him & 2 mates up at 6pm.
once they are back we need to go through a few things (ordering/paying for stuff, plan school pick ups, appointments etc).

then tub, dinner, early night for him & youngest 3.

DP is watching football. I've just got back from a dog walk with a friend. DD is napping and we've just eaten cheese on toast.

I've also baked brownies for later

Everyone else is being much more productive but I'm 22 weeks pregnant so that's my excuse.

I’m watching TV. Two kids are upstairs in their room. One is in our den watching her iPad. All very boring.

Just had whatever we scrapped together from the fridge /freezer... Making casserole later. Going to local bowling alley soon as a late birthday treat for ds... One dc home from for the week end... Busy house today! Glad I have tomorrow off to recover.. Even though decorating the bathroom is on the To Do list..
Oh for a lazy day!

Just me and toddler DS here - DH away with work for a few weeks. We’re both full of the cold 🤧 Hes cuddled up having a nap on my chest while I watch Gilmour Girls and eat chocolate buttons 🤣

DD5 is colouring.

Eldest DDs will be back from my brothers around 6pm, he’s taken them to a climbing wall place and out for dinner.

I’m putting away what feels like the billionth load of laundry and groaning internally whenever I see my living room - it was spotless yesterday, DD5 has managed to trash it in the space of an hour.

I’ve still got to finish putting away the food shopping, empty and reload the dishwasher, wipe the kitchen down, make dinner for me and DD5, bath DD5, get in the shower myself, tidy the living room, write up a lab report and do some research for my lab tomorrow (I’m a Uni student), decide what we’re having for dinner on what day this week as I’m Uni from 9-5 every.damn.day and hope that my slow cooker isn’t a bastard when left attended all day.

Have MIL here today. Dh has gone to do her shopping whilst I keep her company. She has dementia, it is hard. But she is enjoying The Simpsons. Small pleasures.

I'm in the Eastern US so it's still morning here, and we have an extra hour because we shifted from Daylight Savings Time to Eastern Standard Time. DH has headed out with some of his pals to a football game (American professional football). It's a bit of a drive so they left early and will return late. It's chilly and overcast here so I am planning a lazy day on my own with DDog, probably alternately reading and watching whatever interesting I can find on Netflix. I'm enjoying the cooler weather (I'm in the Deep South and it has been hot up until this week), so I'll probably try to get in a long walk with the dog.

Dh is exploring the universe upstairs.
Ds is watching 'Abandoned Engineering' on telly.
Dd has just stropped out the front door to her friend who lives opposite because I had the gall to ask her to put away her clothes (she did, eventually).
I've done a bit of housework and am about to go out an enjoy the sunshine. Perhaps grab a coffee. In silence!

Late afternoon here and raining like mad
DH is cooking a curry
DS has done something for school and is no listening to a book
DD is reading and doing uni stuff
And I have printed out my Christmas cookie spreadsheet (tradition decrees that I may start baking after St. Martin's day).

I'm watching a movie in the big room, DD is chasing the cat, playing with toys and messing about on YouTube on the laptop in the middle room. Standard Sunday afternoon.

Dh being annoying.

Dc 1 on the ps4.

Dc 2 out playing with a friend.

Me on my phone and laptop editing some fireworks photos.

Just me in at the moment.

DC are all off with various friends and will get back probably by this evening.

DH has to go to a different work site next week and it's about 200 miles away, so he chose to drive there today.

I was having a nap, but have just been woken up by an Amazon delivery - new Proviz running gilet, for safety running in the dark. Still not feeling fully awake, so messing round online!

I might bake a cake later, and think about prepping dinner (fajitas)

Resting after selling poppies earlier.DH and DS gone to footie, a 4 hour drive each way! Dd1 watchingTV.

I’m just home from a long shift, now online about to start birthday shopping for DD.
DH watching whatever DS has left on the tv before he went out to play, sounds like young sheldon.
DS playing out with a chum, I can hear them kicking the remnants of our very small bonfire that DH should have swept up yesterday.
DD sitting in her room, apparently studying, not dressed but has popped down for food.
We’ve all just decided we CBA with a 15 mile drive to see fireworks this eve, it’s been so windy here they’ll likely be cancelled anyway.
Going to prep fajitas after the online shopping.

Nothing really! DP is out playing golf with FIL. I’m trying to make myself do things. Just put on a load of laundry and now rewarding myself with a MN break

On my own- fractured my ankle so can't do anything but sit really. Just watching TV. OH went away for the weekend to play golf.

PILs decided to take DD & DS6 back to theirs for a while, MIL will bring them back later.
DH is about to have a nap.

DS1 is away for 2 weeks and although he has paused his Graze deliveries 1 box arrived yesterday and I'm very tempted to eat something out of it. He said I could but I really shouldn't.
should I?
The maple flapjacks are quite delish.

Just had roast pork with everything and raspberry crumble and custard, I've lost 2 stone since August and this is my treat day before I start losing another 4!
Toddler is playing with the dog. My friend and I are watching a film on Talking Pictures and then we're all going for a walk.

I’m rotting on the settee with a very bad hangover feeling sorry for myself and watching last nights strictly trying not to be sick again. DP is asleep on the other settee covered up with a coat even though we have about 5000 blankets. Ds is with his dad this weekend and due back at 7.30, I’ve had nothing to eat today so I’m
Trying to decide whether I can stomach a McDonald’s for tea. I have so much to do, the house is a tip but I can’t move off the settee!

Kids have Covid so ones made a den in her bed and is watching you tube and the other is colouring . I’m watching a Christmas film on channel 5.

DS has been poorly but is starting to feel a bit brighter and is running from toy to toy in the living room. DP is in a mood about football and I’m sat on the sofa with a glass of wine reading my book

We're watching stath let's flat's only started watching today and it's really funny.

Had quite a busy morning. Swimming. Housework
Didn't have to make dinner as I reheated a curry. Dh did some DIY.
Have visitors soon

DH & I have just finished a fab roast beef dinner we don’t have beef very often as it’s so expensive but this was worth it 😍 Now watching the rugby and DH is getting ready to take DDog for a walk.
