SAHM's...what have you actually done today?

[PregnantGrrrl]

Despite the fact that my house never seems to look really clean or tidy, i am amazed at how much i have got done already today.

• Took DS to doctors/chemists
• Emptied dishwasher
• Made us both lunch, then picked DS's up from the floor
• re-filled dishwasher
• Put washing on line
• Washed more clothes
• Picked up CDs and DVDs after DS (again!)
• Picked up toys (again!)
• Made some bottles up and not forgetting, found time to potter on the net.

No wonder the days where i go out to work seem soooooo much easier!

I know what you mean. I seem to work in house all day and it still looks the same when I go to bed!
This is my day so far.
Took son and friends kids to school. came home and put some washing out and put another load on. Emptied dishwasher and reloaded, following party yesterday. Did some puree cooking for dd, 9 months. Ran around the local area with my neighbour looking for her puppy who had excpaed! Made us coffee to recover once we found him.
Collected son from nursery, came home and made lunch. Fed children then cleaned kitchen again.
All this with a slight hangover - think I will lie on sofa now for 20 minutes!

Sorry should read puppy had escaped!

What a good idea for a thread. Today we've

*Had breakfast and lunch and done the wash-up from that.
*Fed and changed ds (3months) twice
*Done sit-down school with eldest two
*Put a wash on
*Sorted some ironing
*Changed Dd3's nappies three times (Poo, erk!)
*Checked on the seedlings
*picked up pencils and toys from floor
and yep, done time on the Aunt Netty, and done some writing. Busy busy busy

(should add that yes, it still doesn't look any better than it did at the beginning of the day, nor will it at the end!)

Oh also watered my seedlings in the greenhouse
