Kelly's mission

Morning all.

Been up 2 hours already although that does mean w/m is on, d/w is on. We've all had breakfast and I've cleared the kitchen already.

Sorting through baby stuff today. I've found someone to take most of it as they're having a baby in the Autumn...

Morney EV and Scatty

DS1 was up 4 times during the night, I am so tired I feel sick.

I have the dryer on and am hoping for better weather, so the boys can play outside at least. They get sick of being in and obviously all acgtivities are out, until DS1 crusts over.

Anyway, must feed them

sagacious · 18/06/2008 09:06

Quick fly by (geddit?)
Out all day so doubt I'll get back here

BabiesEverywhere · 18/06/2008 09:25

Arggh, We had just finished the child proof fence at the weekend, which meant it is now safe to let my DD play outside with or without me and it flipping well rains

On the bright side I have broken the back of the downstairs mess. Not that anyone else would class my downstairs as perfect but it is so much tidier and cleaner than what is normal for us.

So much so that when I got an email that I am expecting a visitor at 11am, I thought fine no mad dash needed. All I need to do is hoover the living room and brush the kitchen floor Rather than having to run around like a mad person for several hours throwing things in cupboards and behind sofas

Still have to attack several boxes in our room, many craft boxes in spare room and bathroom cupboard but that will wait until another day.

Have a good and rainy day today

Morning Everyone TMH It's awful to be so exhausted. I hope you manage to get some rest today

EV Thanks for the thread

MM hope I'm not too scary today

I've gone back to bed. Seems I'm a single mum to 2 boys at the moment/ I'm exhausted and I hurt from the knees down.

Ed was having a meltdown about his green brolly as his orange one has vanished. This was after all my rushing about getting the morning routines done. I've had enough already this week and it's not even half way through Wednesday

AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

dylsmum1998 · 18/06/2008 10:09

islandofsodor · 18/06/2008 10:23

Hi everyone. A couple of things to report today. Firstly dh asked me where the teaBAG HOLDER WAS, i CHANGED THE SUBJECT AND HE IS NOW WONDERING WHAT ON EARTH HE TELLS HIS MUM. hE NEVER LIKED IT EITHER BUT SHE WILL WANT TO KNOW WHERE IT IS!!!!!!

sECondly he wants to know what has happened to me, have I been swopped for someone who actually keeps ther house tidier. He thought the kitchen was amazing last week, now he has noticed the bathroom is looking a bit better. Yestsreday I wne tout and bought a new toilet brush (you don;t want to know what theold one was like) and a bathroom bin as it occudred to me I couldn;t empty a bin I havn;t got and having a small pedal bin might mean that the rubbish isn;t piled inside the cabinet or on the edge of the bath.

Todays list

Bathed and dressed done I even had bubbles
Breakfast done
Washed dishes done

Hot spot
Tidy bathroom cabinet
Clear off bathroom window ledge
Lunch
Take ds to Tumble Tots
Shopping (food and buying a bin for dd's room and the something nice also a basket for my pamper basket)
DC's Sock drawers doesn't need to be done as all odd/outgrown socks are in a pile in the corner of my room
Pamper basket part done
Ironing
Tea
Shine sink
Clothes for tomorrow

In between times I need to answer work emails, sort out my delivery schedule for tomorrow, order costumes and sned out info to enquirers plus do the banking and accounts.

Oh my goodness!!

mummymusings · 18/06/2008 10:27

oh well now it all makes perfect sense!

bythepowerofgreyskull · 18/06/2008 10:28

Things ticked off

laid out clothes for holiday..done
checked toilet bag.. done

Just realised the 2 soft cardigans I want to take the could do with a clean..

so that is an extra wash load as I can't be bothered to hand wash.

have to go to boots to get more mossie stuff

so going out... hope you all have a good day.

grouchyoscar · 18/06/2008 10:43

EustaciaVye · 18/06/2008 10:54

Done lots today. Managed to fill the recycling bin with cardboard boxes from the garage which have been taking up room. And the normal bin is now full of all sorts of tat. Can actually walk from one end of the garage to the other now although we have so much crap it is unbelievable. Still need to make space for all the baby gear until it is collected.

i find basking in the peace and quiet of the local library quite relaxing, and reading the magazines they have and just generally wandering about looking at the books etc i find it soothing
