No laundry this evening

I took the boys to visit Daddy at work today, and when I got home, the water was shut off. I know I paid the bill, so I called the neighbors and their water was off too. I panicked and called James at work to make sure that he had water there. His water was on, thank goodness, now we have a bathroom plan.

James brought us dinner, and extra cookies for me. He must have known how stressed out I was. We called the after hours line and a water main has busted a few blocks away. It has been about 4 hours and still no water. I hope that they get the problem fixed this evening. I guess the laundry will have to wait until tomorrow.

To Do List Today

Yesterday I did pretty good with my to do list. I even got the living room vacuumed (this morning). Here is what I have planned for today:

* Clean the utility room top to bottom again
* Go to the post office
* 5 loads of laundry (didn’t get any done yesterday)
*Wash and put away clean dishes

Hopefully I’ll get a few things done today.

Embracing the early morning

I’m really not a morning person, at all. I would love to sleep in past 10:00 a.m. if possible, sadly all of my boys are morning people. This morning Dylan was up and ready to eat at 5:45 a.m., James was up by 6:00 a.m., and right at 6:30 a.m. Thade decided that he was ready to get up too. No sleeping in for me today.

I decided to take advantage of the lack of sleep, and bake some double-berry muffins this morning. They smell super yummy, if they are good, I’ll share the recipe. I’ve already gotten a pretty good start on my to do list, so here is what I have left to do today:

*Feed and water the kitties 2x
*Wash and fold 3 loads of laundry
*Get all of the bedding together for the laundry tomorrow
*Wash and put away clean dishes
*Call the bank and hospital
*Make a shopping list and go to the store
*Clean the utility room (again)
*Today’s room to clean in my homemaker’s journal:Living Room (vacuum, dust, etc.)

I’m going to go and eat some breakfast while Dylan is resting for a little bit.

Nothing done

This has been one of those weekends where I have not been able to get anything done. The laundry is piling up, the kitties keep making messes in the utility room that I have to constantly clean, and the in laws have been by twice this weekend. Thade and Dylan have been extra demanding too. I’m so stressed out right now. I hope that tomorrow will go a little better.

Checking out the local scene

This weekend there is a little festival downtown, that we are going to take the boys too. I have thought that one day I would get a booth there and sell jewelry, but it hasn’t happened yet. We really just go for the funnel cakes, they are the best. The weather looks like it is going to rain all weekend, so we’ll have to sneak downtown in between rain showers. I hope that the boys have a good time.
