It's not big or exciting but I'm sleep deprived today and I need all the help I can get.

Shower, get dressed
Load of washing out on the line
Clean bathroom
Plan and start dinner
Visit family
Hoover
Clean out fridge
Put clean laundry away (need to wait for DH to get up so will do it this later)

That'll do for now. I have a rare few hours to myself tomorrow and I don't want to spend them doing housework!

Oh and I need to go to the shop (butter onions bananas)

Doesn't look like much but believe me, with a toddler and a 4 year old to assist it will be a challenge!

ohbugrit · 11/03/2012 18:49

Right, I'm not going to do the bathroom. Currently feeding DD then once she's asleep and the laundry is put away I'm done. I've had sod all sleep for 72 hours now and with DH on nights I've another solo night agreed. I'm in need of rest. Times like this I am in awe of lone parents.

Hope you all have had successful days :)

OP posts:
McPhee · 11/03/2012 18:52

All I've achieved is, to phone 3 and put the laundry on Hmm

I hope DD lets you have some sleep!

surroundedbyblondes · 11/03/2012 19:02

Thanks ohbugrit Smile

Rest of the list is now complete, just the dryer to empty and the kids are sleeping.

Felt a bit like a lone parent today as DH was out in the garden sawing and banging on his fencing project while I dealt with the kids. He had fun! Smile

Now to sit on my bum and watch crap telly and eat icecream with yummy home made chocolate sauc . Early night needed here too. DD2 is a rubbish sleeper and DD1 has just stopped having a nappy to bed, so I sleep in a constant state of readiness to jump up and whisk her off to the loo....
