accomplished today? Have you sat on your can at computer or have you actually done something. I can say that I finally found the energy to clean my "traveling trash can". I scraped gummie bears off the carpet and wiped pop off the dashboard. I also found the smell, a lost sippy cup of formula was under the seat. YUMMY!!

So, what have you been up too?

Well today I truly feel like a cow. My son wants to be on the boobies all day, I haven't really accomplished anything except take out meat to cook for later on. I admit I've been on here but also doing little odd ends around the house too.



*eta- oh did i mention a leaky cow at that lol!

well i am a stay at home mom and the only time i sit around at all is when my daughter is napping. today i woke up changed my daughter, made her breakfast, gave her a bath, did a load of laundry, paid some bills, cleaned the bathroom, dusted, swept and mopped the kitchen floor, vacuumed, cleaned the living room carpet, made my bed, made my daughter lunch, played with her, watched sesame street with her, put her down for a nap, and now on the internet. my house is spick and span by the way to the people who say that all SAHM's do is nothing and sit around. not me. i am very clean and productive:)

Well last night i had a dream that my husband told me to get off my fat butt and do some laundry (luckily just a dream because i would have hurt him lol) so im doing some laundry today. im 26 weeks pregnant and have been having some problems so for the past couple days i have been sitting on the couch not doing much besides chasing my 2 year old son around. i also got the energy to clean the hand prints off my tv, and put my dvds in the right cases.

OK, please don't thumbs down me, but I actually enjoy doing things around the house. I have a 4 yr. old and a 3 month old. Today, I have: washed 2 loads of laundry, unloaded/re-loaded dishwasher, cleaned the interior of my dishwasher, Swiffered the hardwood floors, vacuumed the carpeted rooms, read several stories to my 4 yr old., played dolls with her, hung out with the baby for a while (she's not too social just yet...lol), cooked spaghetti w/ homemade sauce for lunch (4 yr. old's favorite), chopped veggies for tonight's pork tenderloin w/ roasted veggies. The little ones are napping now. After nap, we're heading outside for some playtime.



Yesterday, I washed, folded/hung and put away 5 loads of laundry, scrubbed the bath tub, along with the usual cooking, playing, book reading activities.



I feel drained all day if I just sit around.

I got my girls started in their homeschool work and am watching them/helping where needed. I'm multitasking right now - drawing up my week's schedule, on here and helping with school all at once!



Earlier this morning I got out here to the barn at 5:30 and went for a long, relaxing trail ride alone while the sun was just coming up (=



Oh, and I squeezed in an episode of M*A*S*H somewhere.

Honestly? Nothing. My place is relatively clean right now, aside from a few toys on the floor. I'm just waiting for my husband to get home from work. I'm gonna take a long hot bubble bath. I take one day a week to be lazy and do whatever I feel like doing. The rest of the week it's all business.

We don't have school here today... but i've gotten the kids baths, scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors as well as swept them, took my boyfriend to work, and came back home, and got the kids breakfast and lunch, and just sent them to bed for a late nap! I also changed a few smelly diapers and some crib sheets..

well me and my daughter went outside and all but finished our seeds that we will plant in the spring. we are starting them indoors this year. we drew pictures w/chalk on the cement on and on each other. i found out i live in a stupid state w/stupid made up rules about pre-k and kindergarten. i also found out my dimwit cousin gave birth 10 weeks early to her second son and told only one person in the family. and i found time to yahoo in my free time. :-)



tartism sucks - can you go take care of alexis for us? shes someone who knows nothing about sahms. at least you apperciate us. btw can i call you TS i don't like calling you "sucks" it doesn't sound very nice. can you troll her? she needs a new horse, hers is too high..

Wow, thats rather thrilling. i do no longer think of my toddler is my obsession yet she rather is the proper concentration in my existence. and that i myself, rather needed a toddler. i does not be no longer basic on your self, anybody has distinctive thoughts and thats ok. yet i could never think of my existence devoid of her, even collectively as she is thoroughly whinning at this very 2d! :) have you ever theory for you to no longer have completely bonded with your toddler yet? in simple terms some thing to contemplate because of the fact it rather took me a pair months to experience the affection I rather have for my daughter now, and it grows more suitable customary. as long as your are a loving and nurturing discern and you provide your toddler the care he desires you're ok in my e book. think of with reference to the bonding element even with the undeniable fact that...and are you a mom or a dad?

I got my kids to school/preschool, worked out at curves and fed the chickens. I sort of got the kitchen clean but lets just say if guests came for dinner, they'd probably cringe;)

Parents who send 4 year olds to school are lazy BTW.

Most SAHMs do nothing all day. Lucky you for not being so lazy.

What have I done? After breastfeeding, changing my baby's diaper and playing with her for a while (newborn), I put her to sleep and started working. I worked (from the internet) until noon. Then I went to pick our 4yo angel from kindergarten. I cooked lunch, then while Kylie did her homework and played and watched TV, I worked. I am still working.
