I’ve got the day off today, woohooo! I have a million and one things I’d like to get done today, so I’m taking a page from Jenny’s SAHM manual and making a to-do list. I thought I’d share it with all of you so you can laugh at my optimism… I plan to update it from time to time today so you can see how many things I actually get done.
To set the parameters, it’s 7:59 right now, and I have to be out the door (all dressed up) by 2:15.
Here we go.
— Mop kitchen floor
— Take Kate for her flu shot
— Call plumber about dishwasher (he should remember how to get to our house as he was JUST HERE fixing the hot water heater. But I digress.)
— Change sheets on all the beds
— Wash said sheets
— Do 3-4 loads of other various laundry
— Clean up dining room area
— Clean bathrooms
— Put dinner in the crockpot
— Vacuum living room and bedrooms
— Organize pantry
— Clean out freezer
— Shower and get dressed in real clothes
— Pick up Andy from school at 2:30 and then
— Renew driver’s license
— Vote (Ohio has early voting!)
— Drop kids off at my dad’s
— Attend funeral visitation
Thus far today I have:
— Cuddled with the kiddos and watched Phineas and Ferb
— Written this blog post.
— Wiped Kate’s butt.
Ok that’s all I can think of for the time being. What’s that I hear? Laughing? No, Jenny, you may not collect bets on how many things I will actually accomplish.
Check back to see the progress I’m not making throughout the day!
Gee Em, if we can’t bet against you, where is the fun in that? š
I am cracking UP right now. That is much more optimistic than any of my lists EVER get! have fun!
Oddly enough, I have the day off today as well! I am taking all three kids to the dentist. I voted yesterday after work, currently doing laundry, need to mop the floor (and other cleaning listed), and plan to carve pumpkins with the kids this afternoon. I would love to get done what you have listed, but I already know it won’t happen!!
I would just like to say, it is 10 a.m. and I just got off the phone with Emily, who was on her way to the pediatrician to get Kate’s flu shot. But the reason for her call was to ask me if there are any printable coupons for Arm & Hammer detergent, because it on sale at CVS…Emily secretly loves CVS AND COUPONS!! And ME. (Or maybe she’s just using me for my coupon knowledge?!)
What a list!! Hey, no need to finish it all, but at least you have it written down so you can pick and choose what you feel like doing at the moment.
Me? I’m a stay at home non-mom today. My dh took the kids to Universal for the very first time!
That’s a great list, but good luck.
I feel like a loser just reading your list. I better go put dinner in the crock pot. Thanks for the reminder!
You lost me at mop.
I always said that SHAM mom stands for stay at home MOM, not stay at home MAID.
I’m a new reader, but I just wanted to say that I love your blog.
Your day sounds like mine. So much to do, so little time in which to do it.
