SC - sorry your DD is suffering anxiety/low self confidence. Please PM me.
Bitchy - well done on the early night - it will pay off in the end, even if you do feel like death when you first wake up. Sorry, but your later list did make me laugh (especially the 'wtf ouch' bit
).
swan - hmm, maybe get your DH to take over the job of sandwich making from now on if he's so bloody good at it!
Goth - you shouldn't feel guilty: my dentist says that it's luck/genetics whether we have good teeth or not, as well as how much we care for them. It depends on the condition of the teeth you inherit, as well as their position in the mouth (crooked, crowded, etc), so decay is not always down to poor toothbrushing or too much sugar. My DS1 eats loads of sugary stuff (teenager - won't be told) and he has never had a filling. DS2, on the other hand (who is only eight) is only allowed limited sweet stuff and has already had two fillings.
giraffe - DH and I both have a corner like that, one on each side of the bed. Sadly, our bedroom tends to be the dumping ground for all the homeless clutter.
dizzy - please don't stop coming here. We're not all busy all of the time. One of the things this thread is good at is consoling us when we fall behind with our chores (hence the naughty corner). And Flylady is all about focusing on what you have achieved, not what you have yet to achieve.
Well, I am sleep deprived today, thanks to sitting up till the early hours with DS1 last night (OCD-related) and then being called back in to him at 6am. He then had the cheek to fall back to sleep, leaving me wide awake. Still, at least I made good use of it, so I have a 'ta da' list. And, in his defence, he has had to come back early from school because he's feeling sick and has gone straight back to sleep, so maybe he was sickening last night.
Ta da :
Two loads of washing on
One load in tumble dryer already
Made beds
Put clean sheets on DS1's bed
Hunted for - and failed to find - DS1's PE kit
Swished and swiped in bathroom
Replaced bathroom towel
Emptied DS1's bin
Emptied kitchen bin and put recycling out
Unloaded d/w
Breakfasts for the boys
Made packed lunches and filled water bottles
Reloaded d/w
School run
Cooked my breakfast
Phone call from DS1's teacher
DH brought DS1 back home by car
Tucked DS1 back in bed
Ate cold pancakes for breakfast
Polished brass on doors
Wiped down front door (was this a mission?)
Dusted in sitting room (don't know what possessed me - I don't usually dust!)
Am considering doing some ironing, but am sorely tempted to go back to bed and catch up on sleep. DH has gone to the dentist (seems to be a theme on this thread at the moment), then is going to collect some work for us to do this afternoon, which means this is my only chance to nap today. He was clearly angling for me to go to the PO for him, but as he has had a good night's sleep and I haven't, I managed to get out of that one!
Bank account is not in a good state at the moment
. And, of course, there are presents still to buy. Oh well, same for me and millions of other people, I suppose.
