Re: ~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ To Do / 5 Minute Challenge Thread Week 2
Today seems to be one of our first fresh days this fall, so I may drop everything and spend the day at the park. I'm am going to make a list anyway so hopefully I will get a few things done before and after.
Tuesday's To Dos... Vacuum my bedroom Mop the Kitchen, dining, and hallway Make and pack a picnic lunch Put away last laundry load from yesterday Clean Guest bath Do school with kids (unless we spend the day at the park) Make dinner Dust |

Re: ~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ To Do / 5 Minute Challenge Thread Week 2
Dropped off three bags of toys to a donation place
went to the post office (yay for new bank cards!!!) Went to the grocery store Went to Burger King and grabbed dinner (Hubby has been gone for over a week, and still has a few more days before he comes home...and I slipped on a wet grassy hill while chasing my toddler, and hurt my lower back...so this was all I could muster up for dinner. ) Got the big kids to struggle through some school (one math paper and one coloring sheet took over an HOUR!) Got all three kids to bed (took TWO hours!!! Seriously? I about lost my mind!) Watched a couple episodes of Gilmore Girls (I deserved the break!) Washed the dishes, counters, stove and table. Picked up jackets of the floor And now I'm in bed for the night! I would totally be here with wine....if I had any in the house.

Re: ~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ To Do / 5 Minute Challenge Thread Week 2
You totally deserve some wine for accomplishing that much while solo parenting. Infact I'm going to add that to the extenuating circumstances list. Take a 50 point head start

If you often have different commitments that interrupt your routine, perhaps it might work to have a master list of weekly chores, and then sit down each weekend and assign those chores to wherever they fit best around that weeks schedule? ---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ---------- Waaa I wrote a whole big thing, left handed on my phone because of sleeping baby and the internet ate it ---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ---------- Short version; was in bed before 9.45 tonight but only because I am Xbox widow. Early morning tomorrow for apt so have as much prep done to make the morning run easier. I misplaced my print out so can't tally up my points from today, but think I did ok. List for Wednesday; * * Everybody dressed and presentable (outfits already lashes out and changing bag packed) * After appt- school; life of Fred, daily Grams, colouring, reading eggs * Apple printing, letting 1yo loose with paint for the first time; probably in the garden * 2 loads of laundry * Meal plan * Make dinner (cowboy hotpot, nice and easy) If I have time and energy id like to sort out my wardrobe and pack up my summer stuff, and also sort out the landing that functions as our entry way. I sold the unit we had there but haven't got round to buying the furniture I want to go in it, so need to make a temporary set up with what I already have.

Re: ~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ To Do / 5 Minute Challenge Thread Week 2
Oh, thanks.
Today I need to be busy busy! I'm going to set a 10 minute timer and work in every room of my house, and see how much I can get done. I also need to do school with the big kids. But first, breakfast....I'll be back later.

Re: ~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ To Do / 5 Minute Challenge Thread Week 2
A master list that's assigned weekly could work Isabel - thanks for the suggestion
My tablet needed charging this morning so I didn't make a list first thing. So far, apart from school, I have prepped dinner (it's in the slow cooker) and done a bit of laundry. Still to do: Put away laundry Wipe down bathroom sink Send some emails Last edited by Vicki_T; 10-12-2016 at 06:56 AM. |

I'm done with my original list bar making dinner and putting away the baby's laundry. I got half way through sorting my entry but had to stop to nurse the grumpy child.

I'm still trying to fight off this cold - I jay feel really slow and tired. Anyway, today's list:
- more laundry! - put away yesterday's laundry - exercise - email admin - sweep dining room floor - - wipe down bathroom sink - clean toilet - tidying - focus in hotspots - quiet time - music practice I have a feeling I've forgotten something so may need to come and add it!
