Since I feel like I am spending way too much time doing NOTHING (AKA sitting on the couch nursing, walking the baby, etc… although those DO count as work!) I decided to keep a list today of the things I did get done.
Yes I just need to feel like a productive individual today. Yesterday was a rough one, Lily cried through mass (Sunday evening) after fussing all afternoon. I had Jay pick up dinner on the way home because I as starving (hadn’t eaten any lunch since I had been juggling said baby all day), then he held her while I ate, and then he cleaned up dinner and the kitchen and got the rest of the kids ready for bed… while I juggled Miss Fuss some more, then he gave me a backrub. 😉 All this after he had sung three masses and worked about 2 hours on his CD.
So by 12:30pm this is what I had done today –
Got up/ got kids up/got ready for the day
made cream of wheat
did Tessa’s hair
took kids to school
changed diapers – 5 so far
nursed Lily – 6 so far
collected empty hangers – 3 bedrooms
brought down laundry
loads washed – 2
loads folded/hung – 2(saturday’s laundry)
cleaned (disgusting!) sliding glass door
got Max and Lily dressed
cleaned sink in downstairs bath
made bed
load/start dishwasher, wiped counters
took kids for short walk (when will it not be hot?)
heated soup, ate lunch
read a book to Max
put littles down for naps
I guess I do get a few things done.
