It's the Final Countdown

Monday. Today, tomorrow, Wednesday morning. That's all the time I have before I'll be incapacitated for a while. At least I'm assuming Wednesday evening will be no fun whatsoever. I'm not sure how cleansing one's body from the inside out can be fun. Anyway, I have a lot to do, so I'm blogging instead.

Laundry is first on my list today. I carried stuff down, but I have yet to sort it. Why is that my sticking point?? There's always something. With dishes, it's unloading the clean dishes and putting them away. I actually have a second sticking point with laundry - actually getting the clean clothes put away. I have no sticking point with toys - other than the fact that we have so many of them that it can get just plain old overwhelming. And then there's paperwork. The whole of doing paperwork is like walking through quicksand. Or tar, I suppose, if we're talking sticky.

Ok, gotta get off my butt and sort...

Momentarily distracted by the disgustingness of Maggie's room. Why does she insist on throwing trash on the floor? And the piece de resistance - a soggy pull up on the floor. I thought we'd broken her of that habit. At least she didn't stash it under her chair (I once found a week's worth under there), but still... it's just gross.

There... laundry sorted, first load in. :)

Slowly making it through the house. The basement is still fairly clean from last week. The kids didn't play down there much.

I'm so glad I did dishes and picked up the living room last night. I should do that more often. It's when I have the most energy anyway. The kids are currently running back and forth from the backyard to the living room and pulling toys out. I didn't get it vacuumed this morning so I'll have to pick up again. That floor really needs to be mopped.

I didn't get my meals made either. There were at least four casseroles I had in mind to make, but I haven't even gotten the groceries. I should at least make a list and maybe go out tonight and cook tomorrow. I have to pick up my cleansing drink as well...

Second load of laundry in. Probably three more to go. I guess five loads accumulated in a week isn't bad. It didn't include very many sheets or towels. Last week I had two loads of just sheets and towels.

Am I a bad mom for kinda hating it when my kids pick me flowers?

I think I will be sleeping in an hour. My eyes are starting to close every time I sit down...

I guess I'll pick up the bedrooms after naps. No real point before, since they'll just get destroyed again during. I hope the kids sleep. And let me sleep.

Whipping up a nice coffee mocha. 1/2 chocolate coffee, ,1/2 milk, hot chocolate mix. Lovely.
