Wake up: Yeah! It's a new day! I'm going to
- Finish the laundry
- Eat healthy and track my calorie consumption
- Go to the gym
- Clean the house
- Be an awesome mommy
Mid-morning: I'm pretty much on track.
- Last of laundry is in the washer minus the orange juice soaked romper the baby is wearing.
- I measured my cereal serving but didn't manage to measure the milk.
- Might still make it to the gym, a mommy friend is visiting and may watch the kids while I go.
- No cleaning done but at least the house isn't a disaster.
- My children are alive and not crying so that's good.
Mid-afternoon: At least some things are getting done.
- Working on folding laundry.
- Have eaten well but haven't tracked anything.
- Maybe I'll go to the gym this evening when the husband is home with the kids.
- I've washed the dishes (our dishwasher is broken)
- The baby is napping so I take a break from laundry folding to relax and use the computer. I realize the stuff in the washer needs to go in the dryer. Closing the dryer door startles the dogs, they go nuts barking, the baby wakes up, I run to quiet the dogs, trip up the stairs, get the dogs calmed down, the baby goes back to sleep, I go back to "relaxing." An hour later I realize I never started the dryer.
Evening: I am happy because husband is home.
- Last of the laundry is drying, clean clothes have been folded, clean linens are in a heap on the floor.
- We're going to Taco Mac for dinner because the shrimp we were supposed to have is on the Kroger receipt but not anywhere in the house.
- Forget the gym.
- The door mat with dog vomit on it has been thrown on the back porch and is getting washed off by the rain so that's kind of like cleaning.
- My daughter has hit me in the face with a spoon of peanut butter and I excuse myself before doing something I'll regret.
10:30 PM: Contemplating the day.
- All laundry is washed and folded minus the linens still on the floor. Some laundry is even put away. I will finish it tomorrow.
- I'm craving a late snack but will resist. Tomorrow I will track my calories.
- I will go to the gym tomorrow for sure!
- I'll clean the house tomorrow too!
- I am an awesome mommy. Especially when the children are sleeping.
