Another Rainy Day

It looks like we are going to be in for quite a while. I’ve been racking my brain trying to keep Thade busy around the house while we are rained in. I don’t know how much longer the crayons and giant paper are going to hold his attention.

Dylan is so grumpy today and is gnawing at my shoulder as I am typing. The trusty orajel seems to have no effect on him today. So today I have a screaming-chewing baby, and a bored- screaming (at your little brother so he will stop screaming) toddler. Thank goodness my hubby is taking off early today 🙂

Rainy Wednesday

Today it is cool and rainy, a perfect day to stay at home and clean 😉 I went all out for last nights dinner and I have the mountain of dishes to prove it. Once Dylan is up and has had breakfast I’m tackling the kitchen mess first thing today.

Dylan was up about every 2 hours last night, his poor gums are giving him so much trouble. Today I’m keeping his teethers chilled  in the fridge, and the orajel on hand to help with the pain.

I wish there was more that I could do to help out the little guy. Any tips on soothing the teething woes would be greatly appreciated.

Almost Finished

O.k. I needed a little break from all of the running around today (four stops so far). We got the second trip of shopping finished just before the rains hit, but I did not get the trash out in time. I’m also making a change in my dinner menu. I found some great produce buys so I stocked up on fresh fruits and veggies. Tonight I’m going to be making B-B-Q Chicken, Corn on the Cob, and Fried Okra. My hubby has been requesting okra for quite a while, and the store finally had it. Let’s see if Thade likes the veggies 😉

Catch Up Day

Yesterday my mom was in town visiting, so I took the day off. No dishes, no laundry, no cleaning. Today I have a giant pile of dishes, huge loads of laundry, and cleaning that needs to be done. Here is the plan for today:

  • Wash 3 loads of laundry
  • Pack James lunch for tomorrow
  • Wash and put away clean dishes
  • Clean the  litter box (super yuck)
  • Empty upstairs wastebaskets
  • Take out the trash
  • Go shopping for Milk (forgot to buy yesterday)

Dylan is teething like crazy, and feeling pretty yucky at the moment. He was up all night chewing on his little fists. I don’t expect to get too much done today with Dylan feeling so crummy. Thade woke up in a grumpy mood too, I think it is just going to be one of those days.

September’s To Do List

This month I have decided to get a few projects (that should have been done a long time ago) finished. I’m using only what I have on hand, and trying hard not to purchase anything new for redecorating. With a whole month, I hope to get these projects completed:

  • Clean and organize the boy’s closet
  • Clean, organize, and paint my closet
  • Clean and decorate foyer
  • Clean and organize kitchen
  • Clean and organize utility room

I’m going to be tagging unused items for a garage sale. Its funny now that I have two boys with lots of clutter, I want to live in a minimalist home 😉
