Two steps forward one step back. Stepping or not here's the list thread for June.

[CatsSleepAnywhere]

Welcome to the thread where we try to do what we can.

Some of you might like to try:
babysteps

Others may just want to do what you feel you can.
Life has a habit of throwing hurdles in the way!
Lets try to do what we can one step at a time.

All newcomers welcome.

Adora - I think another photo of a puppy wee "puddle" might be in order too!

Perhaps you could compile an album to get out when he starts complaining!

Checking in on my break time.
I have done: 15 mins in the kitchen and 15 mins in living room. It's quite surprising what you can get done in that small amount of time!

Next I think I might do:
15 mins kitchen, 15 mins dining room.

Go Cats!

Brilliant Cats. It is amazing what you can achieve when you get going.

I am at the idea of an album for Adora's dh. His hall of shame

I would sympathise but if you are going to expect perfection from others then you have to be pretty squeaky clean and perfect yourself

I have sorted out dd's lesson for tomorrow and her pony camp while I was at it. Big relief!

I have also delivered some forms for people and got in some emergency shopping. The shop had Tiger rolls so I had to buy some. I feel some sausage sandwiches coming on for lunch

On another break now. Starting to loose enthusiasm but maybe I will pick up again after lunch. It is good though when you get going

Mmm

I haven't had it yet, although I think I may soon Cats.

Ta Das:
wash on, inc dd's sheets.
lots of ironing done - watching LA Ink while I iron.

Ta da's:

10 to 15 minutes in:
kitchen
dining room
living room
bathroom
and 2 out of the 3 bedrooms.

it doesn't look a lot but it's a small difference in each room which is better than nothing.

Well done Cats. You will feel a big difference in your house now. Yay!

Ta Das:
sausage sandwich eaten
bit more ironing done
dry washing folded and put away
wet washing hung up
kitchen table now totally decluttered

need to hoover and do more ironing but feeling a bit flat

Yikes! I had no idea what the time was. It is nearly time for pick up. Ds is having a friend to play. I predict Lego EVERYWHERE!

Hi Cats! Thanks for the cuppa.

Cats. Well done, you're a star

I'm soooo tempted to do a photo album for OH's anniversary gift. Still haven't bought anything as I only ventured out to do the school run today. Those bloody lovely puppies had me awake most of the night.

The escapee escaped again, this time up and over, and ran around while her brother whined and whinged, and boy does that dog have a loud voice. This started around 1am, around 3 am the escapee arrived and jumped up at me while I was in bed. I returned her the kitchen and this set off the big dogs in the garden. They set off every bloody dog in the world.

So today's Ta Da's as follows

Up and dressed
Coffee
Breakfast for family and quick sarnies for packed lunch
Big digs in, family out
Coffee and choc chip muffin
Cleaned kitchen floor
Puppies breakfast
Coffee and toast
WM on
TV on
Tea
Fed big dogs
Vacuumed everywhere apart fom DD's rooms, couldn't get in because of clothes on the floor.
Dashed out to school, arriving 1 hour early, at least I wasn't an hour late
Went for a coffee and paid a bill that's been waiting
School
Snack with DDs, they did some shopping, fancy pencils and plastic tat
Home
Emptied WM and hung stuff outside
DDS dragged walked puppies around the garden
OH redesigned the pen, smaller but much taller- she can't scale these bars as nothing to hang on too.
Emptied DW and reloaded
Dinner
Wrote in journal
Pudding in the lounge
DDs have showered and should be tidying teir rooms as they've asked to have friends over and a tidy room is the condition I set.
OH has been dispatched to make tea and I'll check rooms before going to bed at about 9.30, if I last that long. Still need to feed big dog's and boot them out for the night, they sleep in the garden.

OH has put the DW on, I'm almost impressed
Big dogs are out and fed, I haven't phoned friend's mums because of DD1's stroppiness, will deal with it in the morning. I'm going to bed now, later than planned, it's 10pm

TTFN

Adora please don't really give your dh an angry gift for your anniversary.

Please tell me you were joking.

It might be worth making the book and having it there if he gets horrid but please don't give it as the gift.

I know it is none of my business but...

DO encourage him to get you something totally decadent and divine though

Ta Das:

washed and dressed - took me ages as I wanted to lie in the bath all day
ds's breakfast put in front of him and then into the dog
ds's snacks made - made them tempting in the hopes he will eat something
wm on - spare bed stripped and included
dw unloaded and reloaded
chatted to mums at school for ages - in the rain
made doc's appointment as having trouble with my face
had breakfast myself

I have a case of CBA this morning. Maybe I will find motivation later today.

Hi Cats. I have a twitch in my face, beside my mouth, and a numb bit on my lip. From what I can find out it is stress and anxiety.

I am not feeling very lively today but I did forget my meds last night (waiting up late for dh) so if I take them now then maybe I will perk up later. I don't know if it works that quickly.

im too tired for ta dahs

You ok zoo? What have you been up to? Are all the little zoos healthy now? What happened to ds at doc? ?????? questions, questions, questions...

just dumped it all on chat carrots
as always dp never around when its hard slog and im feeling tired,emotional and sorry for myself

I found your other posts. Sending you some ((((hugs)))) and moral support.

I have been writing a packing list for our trip away with my parents.

The forecast is for rain for most of it.

I keep thinking of things.

can i be cheeky and ask for some matchsticks to prop my eyes open and introvenious chocolate please?
