Now to decide where to start todayCreeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
Pregnancy and early childhood/motherhood has its own rhythms, it should be honoured. I remember days when I achieved so much and other days when nothing appeared to get done - apart form 3 healthy children being developed, birthed and cherished! If you work out what makes life go smoothly for you then do that (i.e. washing washed, dried and put away). My youngest is now 3 and it is only now that I feel I can get to grip with the long neglected jobs :rotfl:. But that might just be me :cool:.
I am aiming for dailies, batch cooking pasta sauce, a soup and bake a cake. Oh and children's homework! I will try to get on top of my personal list ready for the flylady's in the week.
Hugs and spoons.x
3 healthy children is pretty good going.:TPlease do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
Boddy - I (along with many other Flyladies, I'm sure) will be thinking of you and yours tomorrow. I hope it all goes well and that there are smiles among the tears.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Thank you Honey Bear0 -
Still not feeling too good today but have managed to put a load of washing on and fling the hoover round. Had a nce warm bath this morning so feeling a bit fresher if nothing else.
I have to admit girls, that I like having the tree up and don't like it when it's time to take it down. Most of the dec's apart from the tree come down about 2 days before new years eve so we can put DD's birthday cards up. The tree with either come down the day before or the after her birthday.0 -
boddy - exactly what valli said -I'll be thinking of you
I slept in this morning - which I never do, and then woke up with a headache. I'm just starting on my planning - but I've been thinking about it over the past few days, and am determined to work hard for 15 minutes at a time, and get through it before lunch.
Really grey here. And damp. Very Novemberish.
sexy - I've met you - you're neither fat nor unattractive, as you very well know! And on your wedding day, you will be absolutely beautiful, whether you are wearing a floor length silky thing or the Chanel and very little else!
We have a new branch of La Senza, and I was in there with DD (handing in a CV for a temp Christmas job, fingers crossed. They were quite impressed that she worked at Card Factory last year, as it is always frantic in there) - and they had some very pretty nightwear, so worth a look.
Ok, back to planning...It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -

AnW's mum I've pm'd you, hope its ok?
It's not an excuse it's a perfectly valid reason, your body is working 24/7 at the moment and you need to cut yourself some slackSo what's my excuse almost 8 years after W was born???? Oh yep that would be I am a lazy mare and prefer doing the nicer things in life!
