Darlene you GO girl, that IS a productive day. I love it when I get up with energy and really take a bite out of the day.

Today I'm just doing a quick catch up online, but i have to go upstairs and get ready to teach ladies bible study.

I've been up since 5:30, drove dh to work at 630

it's CAR DAY today so after I teach Bible study I have the car, and I'm beetling around town like a crazed gas guzzling woman on the loose.

Then at 430, pick up George at work and settle back into the calm of my usual routine.

Not much will be accomplished today.I have killer cramps

DH is in NYC so I am not cooking much, I will make a batch of egg salad and have sandwiches and soup when he gets home later tonight. Now I am going to have a piece of chocolate cake

**Michelle** · 01-31-2006, 01:53 PM

Not too bad actually...got the kids off to school, washed sink full of dishes that Dave said he'd do last night but didn't

, worked from 9-1, and now I'm eating lunch.

I need to leave to pick up the girls from school in about 15 min, then take K to the orthodontist, and then pick up a few things at the grocery store.

After that, just the usual housework.

**staceyy** · 01-31-2006, 02:00 PM

I'm taking it easy today. Yesterday dh called to say he would be coming in and staying overnight. (He's a long distance truckdriver). So I had to do a marathon cleaning, fix myself up to look pretty good, and think of something quick to fix him for dinner.

Woah, WTG! How inspiring!

I only got up at 8:15!!! I need to get up earlier!

So by 8:30 I put in a load of wash, set up a breakfast of yogurt eggs, toast an d grapefruit for the kiddos.....
Fed pets.
But since then I got my kids working on their school stuff and I slipped out to gas up the car at the cheepo gas station and picked up juice (for my youngest who is sick) and milk. Whipped back. Helped children with math ( what in the world are absolute values for......duh...I haven't a clue)......did breakfast dishes...gave youngest hot bath to decongest.
Got a panicked call from Scout Registrar now I will have to pop out AGAIN at lunch ....so my day will continue....trying to do housework inbetween all this. Music lessons this afternoon from 3;30 to 6:30..........home.......Try and complete what wasn't done earlier......bed about 11:00.....

Yes, I need to get up earlier!
