Stay at home mums getting organised in 2010

Ragz, I do that too.

Always make packed lunch night before, if needed, and put in fridge. Put out DS2's breakfast in bowl with lid on to keep fresh, put out DS1's school clothes, take down DS2's clothes for day.

The morning tends to run smoother and gives me time to pack away the dry dishes, put washing machine on etc and I dont feel so stressed out and angry come school run time.

Also keeps me occupied after school getting prepped for next day as that wee while between school pick up and supper is the time I feel really sluggish and know if I sit down with boys I hardly do anything.

Glam, you're shaming me with your list! My list for today (onehanded cause Molly's eating the other hand):

Thats my list for the whole WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Jack isn't well it can all wait until tomorrow!

I make OHs lunchbox in the evening cos I'm normally not up before he goes @ 7.30am. Need to start getting up earlier but I'm trying to tell Jack that 4.30am doesn't count :cool:

I went four weeks over with DS11, cos docs messed up my due date, although we were certain of dates they would not accept. :mad:Only after he was born did someone look and go OMG you were well over four weeks!!! Mad was not the word to describe it. So can well sympathise how you are feeling - are you fed up of people asking are you still here? I stopped answering the phone cos I couldnt bear it any more.

My list today got thrown out the window and stomped all over (figuratively of course) cos on the school run my car broke down,:mad: managed to get older two to walk last bit and dad took DS5 on to school while I walked DD3 to nursery. Whole morning gone waiting to be towed etc. Car belt snapped which has snapped timing belt and damaged engine. Not sure its worth repairing.:eek: Having to make hasty arrangements for school etc and look at another car/parts for old car. So nothing achieved here at all, will end up spending all week looking at least for a temp car while garage assess just how bad damage is.

So amended list is

Washing x 2
Dryer x3
DW empty& refill
Throw dinner in Sc
Tidy liv room ( hairdresser coming this aft so this priority)
Pack up the stuff I sold on ebay
Book courier for ebay items too big for post office
Cry!!

That's a relief :rotfl:
I hope Jack feels better soon. Molly is currently eating an envelope. She's enjoying it cause it has a crinkly window that makes cool noises.

Morning everyone, still here and even fatter (didn't think it was possible lol) am now 10 days overdue :eek:

I whizzed around yesterday and done the ironing for this week :j and cleaned all 3 bathrooms :j polished all the house and all completely hoovered! so my list for today is a lot smaller than normal :T

-sort paperwork into files
-pay a bill
-go shopping for essentials for when I am in hospital for induction so the kids don't starve :rotfl:
-go find OH's clothes, he has a nasty habit of hiding his dirty clothes and then wondering why he doesn't have any clean ones :mad:
-sort out my toiletries stash
-sort out my boys room (although I don;t actually have that much intention of doing it )

hope everyone is well

good luck for when you do into labour. You are putting me to shame! You seem to have more energy than me and I am only 24 weeks preggers lol!

I have NO energy today. I had a nap at lunchtime when ds napped but it hasn't helped much. This pregnancy seems to be the same as when I was carrying ds - I feel ok and then I have a couple of bad days every few weeks where the baby seems to have a growth spurt and my sickness comes back, I have no energy, no appitite/or can eat anything and my bump doubles in size over night! I wish it could grow more steady.

Ds is still poorly too so that hasn't helped either.
