Goals for the week

Instead of saying I have SO much to do today, I'm going to give myself a week so I feel less pressure :) House is AWFUL at the moment and my moods are suffering for it.

So, things I need to get done by the end of the week:

  • Clean out fridge11.35pm Tue
  • Clean out pantry (eeeep big job)
  • Tidy up Laurens play room
  • Attempt to empty some of the boxes mum has brought around, sort stuff out to keep/throw out/st vinnies
  • Fix hole in Damiens bike shorts and shorten hotslings pouch3.20pm Wed

  • Tidy lounge & vacuum12ishMon, 8.20amish thurs

  • Tidy kitchen11pm Tue, I want to keep it tidy every night before bed, I was getting so good at that but have let it slide

*phew* some biggish jobs in there, so I have a week people! Lets see if I can get it done before then!

I want to get laundry, laurens room and fridge done today.

Had an ok weekend, I was cranky bitch yesterday, tired, house getting me down. Had lunch with mum, she leaves for NZ on thursday :( Seeing her for the last time before she goes on Tuesday *sigh*

Am finding Lauren really challenging atm, the not listening, ignoring me finding it hard to keep my cool. I had a realisation that I don't always listen to her, that sometimes I fob her off so I am trying to model listening and paying attention by doing the same to her. Tis hard though when she won't do the simplest thing, need to borrow the book "how to talk so your children will listen, and listen so they will talk"

(Hugs) Hope Lauren passes through that phase soon.

Housework is just neverending hey?

Oh boy, I don't envy that list, but I do hope you get there! I understand it getting you down, as it gets to me sometimes, but always feel good after a tidy up!
