Augh, I'm having some freak out issues. I was hoping to get SO much more organized and decluttered and yet here we are, 2 days before the routine starts up again and not much has been done. The house is messy (and I haven't done dishes since Thurs), we have some places to go today and dh is super busy with side work. The Christmas stuff is still up with the tree shedding like mad. Tomorrow will have to be a cleaning day but I really don't know how much I'll get done as I'll be on kid duty AND cleaning duty, most likely. argh

 

We're sick with colds again. This is getting frustrating! I think that's why I've been in a bad mood lately. I'm just tired of being sick and dealing with sick kids.

 

I hope you're doing well. You had a family shin-dig yesterday, right Joni? How did that go?

 

Ok, gotta get the kids ready so we can head out. I'm trying REALLY hard not to lose it on dh as he's sleeping in (not sure when he went to bed but I went to bed at 1 and he was still working) and he kept the kids quiet while I napped for an hour and a half yesterday. Sleeping in means he just gets to hop out of bed, get dressed and be ready for the day while I have to get me and the 3 kids ready. At least 2 of them can get dressed on their own (and they are, amazingly! lol)

 

Trying REALLY hard not to be panicky cause if we dont' get all the decluttering done this week-end, there WILL be other times so I can't feel like it's the end of the world. Ideally, just dealing with the Christmas stuff and going to bed tomorrow night with a straightened, basic clean house should be my goals.
