WOW, busy day planned LadyV!

Already into my day here. Today will be a busy one.

So far:
~ up, showered, dressed
~ put in a couple of hours worth of work
~ coffeed up
~ put in the phone calls with directives to make sure everyone else at the home hub got out the door with what they needed and on time

Yet to go if there is not a hitch:
~ several more hours of work to be completed
~ arm and leg weight routine
~ pick up DS# 2 from school tennis practice
~ find a ride home for DS#1 from his away soccer game tonight
~ feed dinner to DS#2
~ complete some laundry
~ prep lunches for tomorrow
~ wash soccer uniform for another game tomorrow (after he gets back from the game he'll be wearing it in and I get back from bowling - :yuck

~ mail bills
~ make it to the first night of our bowling league
(None of this stuff is in the order it will have to occurr in to go off without a hitch

)

HUbby and I are going to have to sit down soon and have a conversation as I don't know that I want to go through another PACKED fall. Something has got to go.

On the positive side his new job doesn't have him working the constant crazy long hours of his last one so that will be a plus when we sit down and sort it out.

Good morning!!

Wow, you gals are on the ball this morning!

I am not quite that "with it" this morning, but I do feel rested, so that's a start. Kids lunches and backpacks are packed and ready to go, I'm showered and dressed. Now drinking my morning coffee and watching the news before I start waking the kids up.

Today is the usual work for me. DD1 has vball practice after school until 6, but other than that, no activities. Tonight I need to clean out my van and do 1 load of laundry. If I'm feeling really brave and ambitious, I will attempt to clean dd2's bedroom with her. Yikes!

Hope everyone has a great day!

~unloaded dishwasher
~checked in with boys as to the week
~updated family calendar
~made it to work on time and ready to go - normally impossible for a monday

I don't think I will be as productive as the rest of you but I plan to do my morning routine, change the bed linens, make lunch and wash dishes, unload dishwasher, make tea and start laundry. Hopefully all that will be done before I go to work!

Thankfully I have already exercised for 45 minutes this morning.

Just started my day, and I am still sipping my morning coffee and checking my emails.

Off to work today, so the only thing that will be put together is (hopefully) me. Hope to get several chores done at the office, however. I have a few little irritating things that I have been putting off, and I have decided to spend this week knocking them out.

I am dragging this morning. I have already been to the lab for the last blood test of this pregnancy, but since I had contractions all night I just don't know how much more I'll get to today. I have the kids started on their homeschooling and I believe I'll take a quick nap to see if that helps. If I wake refreshed I would like to make another freezer meal for us to enjoy after the baby is born, put some laundry away, and clean the bathrooms.

I misplaced our metal steamer basket so I looked at them in the market today: $8.00 !! No, thank you.

I realized that my pasta pot and strainer make a nice steamer for the discounted broccoli I bought today. We'll have broccoli pizza one day soon.

I also bought discounted chicken thighs for 80 cents a pound and five ears of corn for 99 cents.
