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 owuld rather be aet work.
Find the days at home just one long chore.

I'd normally rather be at work too. But today was sunny

Trying to set up a business, so lots of online research to try and do, but other than that it's mostly domestic crap I wish I could still afford a (much more competent) Romanian to do.

Laugh at myself as I reel from one domestic disaster to the next with baffled 11 week old looking on. Fortunately for the other 2 kids, they are at nursery 2 days/week.

Upside was 1hr in a playground near the seafront in the sun.

*Had lunch with old work colleagues
*Had hair cut

(DD and I both washed, dressed, fed etc)

Te boys are on inset today so a lovely day

Got boys up, fed, ds3 collected by CM
Boys tidied up playroom
caught bus over to city, bought a few small things, went in the art gallery and museum.
Lunch, home, DS's colouring in their new books, have to go collect ds3 shortly, dh up at 4 (on shift last night)

Still no garden due to shitty neighbour however so staying at home wasn't an option

oh, y'know ... loads of important stuff ...
