Wednesday 6/23

Monday I did just about everything. Tuesday and Wednesday I took Monkey-1 and his friend to space camp and hour away from home. Not to mention I had to entertain Monkey-2 and 3 in a town an hour away from home for 3 hours until Space camp was over! It was interesting. But Monkey-1 is having a wonderful time, so it is worth it!

Tomorrow will be a wonderful because Monkey-1 has Space camp and then will have a play afternoon with his friend. Monkey-3 is having a playdate with her very best friend. Monkey-2 and I will be going bowling, just the two of us. Monkey-2 is soooooo excited. He has told me at least 5 times today that tomorrow is "Mommy and Monkey-2 (although he used his name) Day!" I can't wait.

Friday 6/18

Took the three Monkeys shopping at Sam's.

Took the three Monkeys shopping at SuperTarget.

Ran errands with the RS and three Monkeys.

Drove two hours to my parents house with RS and the Monkeys.

I think I'm still sane, but it is up for debate at this point.

Wednesday 6/16

Well..........I went and worked out. 20 minutes on the bike. 10 minutes abs. 2o minutes treadmill. Dropped off some library books/movies that needed to be returned, picked up lunchables for the Monkeys. Showered, took the Monkeys bowling, stopped at Sonic, and now am resting.

Things I will be doing before 6 pm:

• Grabbing a few things to take with me to my friend's house for her garage sale!
• Tossing the light laundry in the washer
• Trying to get the stress out of my shoulders
• Smiling!

After 6 it is off to visit a friend and then off to Bunco and then visiting the garage sale and home and to bed! Busy day here!

Tuesday 6/15

Went to work out and started day one of the couch to 5K program. I'm thinking of taking it a bit slower than the 9 weeks it calls for only because I'm not sure I could make it work in 9 weeks. But thanks to the app on my iPhone, I'm hoping that I'll be able to make things work!

Towels have been washed and are in the dryer. Dark laundry is in the washer waiting for the dryer to finish with the towels.

The dishwasher needs to be emptied, but I'm making the Monkeys take care of that!

Monday 6/14

Hello everyone!

Motivation found:

Kitchen cleaned, floors steam mopped and Method mopped

Living room and hallway cleaned, floors steam mopped and Method mopped

Monkeys rooms cleaned, but not vacuumed.

Math mats, washed, in the dryer.

Three Monkeys cleaned (in the summer this is a huge deal).

Motivation lost:

Kids rooms go unvacuumed.

RS and I's room goes uncleaned and unvacuumed.

Need to wash towels. Hm, might try to get this done.

Looking for motivation:

Must shower myself before going to work.

Must brush my teeth.

Have to buy milk.

Have to drop off two payments.

Friday 6/11

Cleaned the bathrooms and living room floors. Keep meaning to clean the kitchen but on look at it (mostly from my brand new chair) makes me lose all my motivation!

Wednesday 6/9

So after my post yesterday I got up, went downstairs, screamed (even when I don't mean to I'm easily frustrated with the Monkeys as of late), and forced the basement to be cleaned. And not just a little cleaned, move all the furniture and pick up every last tiny piece of paper off the floor clean. My hope is that it will last for more than one day. Although I doubt it because I know the Monkeys.

Today I had the Monkeys clean their rooms. Tomorrow we will be changing sheets again. Monkey-1 and Monkey-3 must have clean, germ free sheets to try to get rid of this horrible, awful, gross strep that has infected the house (or the two Monkeys!). I'm also thinking I'll have the Monkey's clean the doorknobs, light switches, and cabinet pulls tomorrow to help get rid of more germs!

The very, very, very best part of tomorrow though is that my chair and ottoman will be arriving between 10am and 12pm! I can't wait to have some furniture in the living room. Although I'm sure it will be weird for awhile since we haven't had any since sometime in February.

Tuesday 6/8

My house is a complete disaster area and I lack all motivation to do anything about it. I'm hopeful that tomorrow will be better and that Monkey-2 is not next in line to become ill (Monkey-1 and Monkey-3 both have strep), or even worse, ME!

Try me again tomorrow!

Wednesday 6/2

Due to my exhausting workout this morning I did nothing today. I feel like a complete failure and tomorrow will be trying to get something/anything done!

Oh wait, I did some journaling with the kids and Monkey-1 did a math worksheet (we are working on mastering our basic facts this summer). And I think there was a load of laundry that might be finished in the drier.

Wow, I'm really on a roll!

Can you tell I'm feeling a bit BLAH today?

Tuesday (but it feels like Monday) 6/1

Today is RS 33rd birthday! So to celebrate I tried to get the Monkeys to help with the cleaning. They did a little! But I didn't put as much effort in as I could have!

• upstairs bathrooms cleaned including showers
• hall and living room floors dust mopped
• kids rooms cleaned, but not vacuumed
• kids sheets changed, kinda forgot RS and I's until just a few minutes ago. I think they will make it until tomorrow
• dark laundry folded and put away
• towels washed, dried, still in the drier
• kitchen kinda cleaned up. Cooking dinner and making banana cream pie is messy!
• dishwasher emptied by Monkeys, now full and washed, but not emptied as Monkeys are in bed

Basically, I kinda did things today. Tomorrow I'm headed to the Y for some exercise with the BEST NEIGHBOR EVA! Here's hoping things go well for me. I need to get in shape, because despite what people say, round is not a shape I really long to be!

Hope you Wednesday is treating you well!
