One of the things I have come to accept about being a single parent with two busy kids is that I am pretty much always going to be behind. Always something not done, not up to the standards that I was used to, but it was a small sacrifice.
Well lately I have not been sleeping well - layoffs at work are stressing me, and the kids have been crazy busy between football and cheer and ballet and choir and one very special birthday coming up this week. So I have been sleeping about 3-4 hours a night and spending the other 2 -3 hours going through my lists.
That was driving me crazy too, so to gain some sanity I decided that I would get decently caught up this weekend at home. So here it is 8:47 on a Sunday night.
Everyone has clean sheets, clothes and towels
the whole house is vacuumed, dusted, all bathrooms and kitchen have been scrubbed, surfaces wiped, floors mopped
The yard has been mowed, edged, mostly weed whacked (ran out of line dangit), bushes trimmed and driveway blown clean
The car has gas and has been through the car wash
I went to the store and have food planned through Wed at least
If I don't sleep like a rock tonight I am not sure what it will take
So now I am going to go watch the Miami/Dallas game that I Tivo'd today
Catherine had Nutcracker tryouts today too - keep your fingers crossed for her!
You write very well.
