I'm panicking, my house is all over the place, I have DS2's birthday party HERE on Saturday afternoon, I've got a meeting tonight, Choir practice to take tomorrow night. I've got loads of stuff I need to get done.

Basically think I need to work through the house from front to back so jobs to do today are (and some of these may be more tricky if DS3 decides he doesn't need a nap like yesterday so he could be awake all day.........): I'm trying to put them in the sort of order they need to be/will be done

Get dressed
Change DS3 and get him dressed
Empty Dishwasher
Put a load of washing on
Continue drying the still wet clothes
Tidy computer desk (on it, behind it and under it!)
Clear top of piano
Pick all the rubbish up off the diner part of the lounge diner floor
Hoover
Sort kitchen worktops
Empty kitchen/bathroom bins
Tidy and sweep/hoover kitchen floor
Mop kitchen floor
Sort dinner (probably something I've already cooked and frozen )
Bath boys
Have meeting
Sort bookcase out - gather all paperwork that needs to be filled
Start trying to download stuff from this computer to disks
Finish finalising which Carols we're having
Iron, pair up all the socks and put them all away

So - anyone going to join me as I attempt to get through all of this today?????

I was going to join you today as have a massive list of things that need doing but ds is poorly and won't let me put him down so I'm not even showered yet!

I'll post my list anyway (can do that part while cuddling ds!)

Get showered/dressed
Wipe windows DONE
Put load of washing on DONE
Hang load of washing out DONE
Wash dishes
Put another load of washing on DONE
Put clean clothes away
Vacuum floors
Clean bathroom
Mop kitchen/dining room/bathroom
Get rid of unidentified sticky mess from on dining table
General tidy round downstairs
Clear heap of paperwork from sideboard
Prepare lunch/dinner and feed it to kids (and myself!)
Make myself look presentable for friend's hen night

it's just not going to happen is it?

Really need ds to go for a nap but everytime I put him down he starts coughing and crying and is sick.
