Posted twice when I didn't think it had posted at all, what is going on lately?

Hello sexymouse! Please don't worry if you don't accomplish everything. I don't know how teachers do their job sometimes. Just two kids wear me out! If you can try working out a daily routine though you will find things getting easier, especially if it's the night time one, preparing clothes for the next day, making a lunch, straightening the living room and giving the kitchen surfaces a quick wipe over, the day then starts without a mad panic and it all seems to run more smoothly.

Daily:
WM load/run/empty
put away clean washing
DW load/run/empty (as often as necessary)
make bed
Shine sink
prepare for next day
wash up/put away (anything that can not go in the DW)
Deal with emails
Deal with post
Keep up with this thread, finding this a challenge, must try harder

Rolled over from the weekend (here):
Paperwork 30 minutes
Meal plan for next week
Hoover Hall/landing/stairs/office

Mission:
Living room:
Hoover
Dust
Remove sofa cushions and hoover those sofas
Tidy away anything that shouldn't be there

Take up anything on stairs that needs to go up into bedrooms, how did you know Moggins

Make any important phone calls – council about failing to collect recycling for 2 months :eek:
See if there is any part of the evening meal that you can prepare in advance, if I every make a plan of what we are going to eat

I concur the evening routine makes a real difference for me, I also sleep better knowing I'm ready for the next day.

I try to remember that every little thing I manage is better than doing nothing

this_is_it

as all the jobs i did saterday meant i could today spend the afternoon out with oh and kids with out coming home to a mad rush to get everything done ready for school.
as i was starting to hate sundays as i always seemed to be rushing around sorting bits out but thanks to moggins posts this is my first sunday that i have enjoyed for ages.Also im finding that i dont panic about getting things done within a certain time any more if i go out in the morning then i just start when i get in etc whereas before if everything didnt get done before it was time to pick kids up then i didnt bother doing them., i have even starting doing stuff in the evening too instead of just sitting on my bum watching tv.and its so nice to not to come down stairs in a morning to piles of dirty dishes etc.
