[lottepotte]

I have been very tired last weeks and this makes me so stressed. I'll try to clean our kitchen at least.

 

[marezee]

today i did my dishes and got the boys out of the house.
they played until they got hot, then they went in the pool.
Jake didn't like the big boy pool, so i inflated the toddler pool and he had a grand ol' time!
then i put the sprinkler on! they had a blast!
between all that and running in & out getting meals & snacks, and changing them in/out of their bathing suits at least 3 times, i didn't really have time to potty train jake.
oh well...

 

[faithmom]

The bills and paperwork.

 

[lottepotte]

I cleaned our kitchen the day I promised... today I feel better, I tried to sleep more during our 24h.

I must do some little things in computer (sending bills, hanging up an appartmentadvertisement etc.). I also need to call for doctors appointment for the baby and for son. My son needs also an appointment with our hairdresser. I also have to chose windows and doors for our house and hang clothes for to dry. I need to do some more laundry also. Lets see...

 

[lottepotte]

Today is... over... I need to call again tomorrow for sign doctors appointment for the baby and for son. For doors I need to visit the shop, no use of telephones... And laundry has to wait for a new day. Good night!

 

[lottepotte]

Done. I have some small but important things done and they are not burdening me anymore. What I would do without you!!!

I will pack things for my daughter, she will go first time together with dad to his worktrip for two days. She is so excited.

Maybe I get also the kichen cleaned before I pick up my children from kindergarden.

 

[angelsgirl]

I seriously need to fold the clean washing... it's been there for over a week. I guess the good thing is at least I am getting the washing done... the folding is optional at this point!!!
I need sleep... But not sure if that is going to happen!!! We'll see though!!!

I discovered I need 10 hours nightsleep (with 2 interruptions for breast-feeding). And if I can not do that I need sleep during daytime with kids, sometimes only 30 min is enough. It was impossible for me before, but I learned to.. because we must survive! Well I must also add, that I am not so very disciplined in sleeping at all... I feel excausted quit often, but hope I learn...

 

[faithmom]

Go kiss my kids while they are sleeping.

 

[marezee]

I love doing that faith! they are so sweet when they are sleeping!

this week's has been nuts!
monday was our variance public hearing...no one showed to oppose our porch...so the board just voted right there and we have been approved!
now we need to contact our contractor and set up ground-breaking day!
Nick's school trip was canceled on monday, but i wound up going to the place anyway, because the school didn't call me!! :o so i packed the other two boys up and brought them to grandma's. when i got there they said the school canceled so i had to go back to grandma's and pick up the boys and then do it all over again this morning!
Nick's school trip was fun. we went to the magic forest in lake george. not the cleanest of spots, but nick had fun on the rides.
afterwards, we had to pick up stephen and jake from grandma's, then head home to get an early dinner.
Tonight is Nick's Rainbow concert. the kids made tied-died t-shirts in all colors of the rainbow. Nick's class got the color red. the other kindegarten classes had colors such as orange, yellow, blue, green, pink, etc. it should be fun.
tomorrow is nick's field day, then thursday is stephen's kindegarten screening. whew!
i signed nick and stephen up for soccer in the fall.
that is all folks! SYL!

Pack to go on our trip tomorrow.
