It's 20 Chore Tuesday again and while I had this ideal vision of my house finally being put in order this week since the baby starts daycare Tuesdays and Wednesdays I have kissed that idea goodbye. It took me 45 minutes to drop off- including setting up her cloth diaper items and feeding her. This means I have a roughly 45 minute window now while I'm typing this to get as much done as possible before leaving the house for work. Luckily, I have my mental list done so here goes:
Ok I tried to insert the link up here and it did not work, so go to

17.

18.
Tonight- sanitize all pump parts.Fun added task, Hygeia battery isn't charging. Yup on baby's 1st day of day care I was pumpless. This was incredibly uncomfortable so I called the company. They can repair it but I have to ship it to them, wait 2-3 weeks and have a loaner pump in the meantime. A little disappointed since the pump is less than 2 months old and has seen minimal use.

Crap, I forgot empty compost, soak counter bin in bleach and rinse out poopy diapers. Grr.
I need a nap. And more coffee. 36 minutes till I need to leave the house.
Looks to me like you got a ton of things done today! Awesome job! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks- I feel pretty good about it and am happy that we were also able to squeeze in family pizza night. It's nice to go out every once in awhile.
DeleteWow busy busy busy!!!! I too am holding onto the dream that taking my baby (now a toddler) to preschool one day will make it easier to get things done. Maybe the second week will be easier?
ReplyDeleteI think the urge to "accomplish" while the kids are in school gets greater with each child you have because the only time you'll ever get anything done is any second you have to yourself..... It's a never ending struggle. :)
DeleteOh my goodness, you seriously got all of that done on Tuesday?!?! How many hours does your day have? Amazing! I am so impressed... You are definitely one of those moms who deserve a cape and a big "S" on her shirt ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I want a cape :) I think overtime you learn how to be both efficient and not as picky. With 3 kids I have lowered my standards slightly- so clean the living room means fold blanket and put everything on the floor back into toy bins.... but I do have this sense that when I have a free moment I better pack it with stuff quickly because otherwise I might not get another opportunity....
