Tuesday 2/9

Thankfully, Monkey-3 feels and looks a million times better today than she did yesterday! The eyes are a toned down red color and no fever! YEAH! No more snow days, so the boy Monkeys went back to school and I got things done! Hooray!

• three bathrooms cleaned
• teeth brushed
• water
• Monkey-3's sheets, pillow, blankets, stuffties, and anything else that was in her bed have been washed and dried. Bed is mostly put back together.
• Monkey's rooms are cleaned and vacuumed
• living room is cleaned and vacuumed
• watching the neighbor girl while her mommy is off having some lab work done
• have to get ready to work at the Y this evening
• went to Sam's to get the stuff that I forgot the last time
• bought milk
• bought juice (we go through a ton of juice and one store has a great selection and it is cheaper there than anyplace else, so I always stop there to buy juice)

I'm sure there is more but I have forgotten. It is amazing how much I can get done when I'm feeling better. Still no exercising. I'm still having some coughing and I know that working out would aggravate the cough. I'm hoping to at least be able to do something this week. Maybe some yoga and pilates while I'm waiting to get back to Shred or something else.

Monday 2/8

Hello Again! Weekends tend to get a little crazy, and honestly, I didn't have much to report this weekend. Saturday I was very tired from lack of sleep and didn't do much of anything. Sunday we took a little trip in the car to look at a "new" car for Mark and back home again without a new car.

Today has been a crazy one. Another snow day for the kiddos. Monkey-3 wouldn't have been at school anyway because she has a rather nasty sinus infection and pink eye in both eyes! So instead of taking one Monkey to the doctor's office I got to take all three! Monkey-3 is napping and will hopefully be feeling back up to her normal self by the morning!

So with that said, I haven't gotten anything done today! Oops! I have gotten the dark laundry washed and dried, but that is about it! And the bathrooms will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.

Here's hoping your Monday is going well for you!

Friday 2/5

Ah, another Friday.

• Cleaned all blinds in living room and bedrooms
• baked 2 dozen muffins and 2 dozen + chocolate chip cookies
• changed, washed, and dried the sheet from my bed
• went to the doctor's office (more on this in a moment)
• Worked at the Y

So even though I have been feeling better, I had all this pressure in my ear and this morning I gave in a called the doctor's office. I went in this afternoon and was informed that I have a sinus infection and an ear infection! How the heck does a 32 year old woman get an ear infection? Holy cow! So I'm on the good drugs and I'm trying to get better because only hearing everything in the half fuzzy way I have today isn't working for me.

Thursday 2/4

Still not 100%. I have motivation, but lack the energy to follow through! I felt better after Yoga last night, but still didn't sleep as well as I would have liked! Colds are not fun at all.

• teeth brushed
• basement cleaned up and vacuumed
• dark laundry ~ washed, drying
• dishwasher ~ needs to be emptied

So far I haven't accomplished a ton, but I'm trying to conserve my energy because I have to work this evening. Conserving energy is the most important goal for the day.

10:02 pm Update

• dark laundry ~ washed, dried, folded, put away
• worked at the Y
• jogged to get the mail
• brushed teeth
  

I'm going to have to get things together tomorrow because I'm going to have to bake the day away. I'm giving it all away for a good cause too! Yeah for not eating the cookies and muffins I'll be making!

Wednesday 2/3

I'm still not 100% (although after reading what all I've done you might think I'm insane for saying that). I'm coughing up a lung and my abs feel like I've done about a million crunches and 2 million Jillian workouts, and my nose, my poor nose, is running like I forgot to turn off the water, but I'm not as tired as I was yesterday (although I didn't sleep well last night, all that waking up to cough) and I am not achy like yesterday. Yeah for improvements!

• deep cleaned kitchen ~ floors scrubbed, counters cleaned, blinds cleaned, table cleaned off and slightly scrubbed where sticky
  
• white laundry ~ washed, drying
• Light laundry ~ washed and dried yesterday, sitting in a basket in my bedroom. Will get to it today.
• Laundry room floor scrubbed
• Living room vacuumed
• dishwasher ~ emptied, refilled, washing
  

This took right around 2 hours. Normally I would have been able to get it done in an hour to an hour and a half. See, slow going. I hoping to back to normal by the end of the week. And do a few things tomorrow and Friday that I skipped on Tuesday (cleaning the blinds in the bedrooms and living room and dusting). I'll update later once I get the laundry done. Stand up for any length of time is exhausting and I need to take a break. Cleaning the floor was easy because I was already sitting!

8:24 pm Update

• Light laundry ~ folded and put away
• white laundry ~ washed, dried, folded, put away
• dishwasher ~ emptied again, refilled again, will be washed again

Things I will do before going to bed tonight:

• Yoga (at halftime of the KU game)
• Brush teeth ~ must find a tooth brush that can be boiled

I hope everyone has a wonderful evening!

Tuesday 2/2

Due to illness today is going to be short and sweet!

• vacuumed living room and monkey's rooms
• changed sheets on Monkeys' beds

Trying not to keel over and die is the goal for today. I'm aiming for a nap while the little Monkeys are resting today.

Monday 2/1

Happy February Everyone!! If you are wondering what happened to Sunday, well it happened, but since I was busy, I didn't get around to posting about my unexciting day! I worked that the Y, so that was about the highlight.

Today starts deep cleaning week in my house. The first week of the month is deep cleaning week. I spend more time cleaning each room to make sure that I'm getting all the little places I skip really cleaning. Not to mention the little things like blinds (YUCK) will get cleaned. I like to do it the first week of the month and then the rest of the month is just maintaining the house. In theory anyway!

• 4 rounds of the 6 round slim down
• Basement bathroom cleaned ~ shower cleaned, floors scrubbed, in addition to the normal cleaning.
• Monkeys Bathroom cleaned ~ shower cleaned, floors scrubbed in addition to the normal cleaning, changed shower curtain liner, washed shower curtain
• RS and I's bathroom cleaned ~ Shower cleaned, bathtub cleaned, cabinet top removed everything and cleaned, floor scrubbed in addition to normal cleaning.
• Dark laundry ~ washed, dried, put in basket (will be folded and put away in a few moments.
• Towels ~ washed, drying
• Bathmats ~ washed
• dishwasher ~ emptied, refilled, washing

Since I have so much more to get done I better get moving. Monday's seem like the busiest day, but I think it is all in my mind. Maybe it is because I have extra laundry on Mondays.

2/2 Update

• Dark laundry ~ folded and put away
• towels ~ dried, folded, put away
• bath mats ~ dried, put back in their spots on the bathroom floors
• dishwasher ~ emptied (by Monkey 2 & 3), refilled
• dinner put in the oven for RS to feed family when he was home.
• worked at the Y
• came home and felt incredibly sick and went to sleep hopped up on ny-quil and vitamin C
