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 haven't actually done much

I've read the thread,( respected that you didn't want to know what I had done today....)...but for the Lord's sake,' picked DS up from floor '.... btw i also have picked DSs/DDs and a few hundred other objects up from the floor today...

think OP meant that they had made lunch then picked ds's lunch off the floor ?

nothing at all my dp has done it all because my grandfather passed away this morning and i feel like shit

That really made me laugh, LL! I'm in a similar situation myself ... although I've been here so long that I now shout back at them if they dare raise their voices to me, so it is now mercifully rare.
Enjoy your time with your LO, I say.

Oh Custy, I'm so very very sorry.

Thank you gamegirly we knew it was coming as he had stomach cancer only known for 2 weeks though they told us last week he wasnt going to make it past weekend so i think he hung on a extra feew hours just to prove docs wrong he always was stubborn and never did as he was told lol

Gone to work for an hour. That hour took me 3/4 of an hour to get there. Got food for tonight. A good 1/2 hour once I got there. Came home - another 3/4 hour.

Yippppppeeee!

and the 'actually' in the title wasn't meant to infer anything- i just meant that however hard i try, my house is still a mess, but when you write down what i've done, i'm definately doing something

I do far less in my paid work, and it's less physically tiring...but i don't get to see a snotty DS babbling and rampaging through the living room, so it's all good.

Is fuck all an option?
