Where are the rest of my hours?

altarflameGeeeeeeeeeez.
I've "done things" today, you know, but I have so much more to do and I just want to knit, or take a nap. Maybe even both.
I made myself a bowl of "guacamole" (avocado and tomato diced up with salt and olive oil), I made the kids sandwiches and cut up grapes for Jake. I've changed several diapers and nursed both of them a couple of times and gotten them down for their naps. I've started a week of meal planning (2 1/2 days down so far). Grant really wants me to get that done so I can shop this evening so that I don't keep having to ask him to run to the store for this or that...and I need to FINALLY wash diaper covers since we finally got new wool wash, and I DESPERATELY need to fold a lot of laundry because it's piled into mountains, in the laundry room...I'm going to go crazy and SHOW YOU ALL my laundry room! Bwahahaha, between this and the post about my tyrant yesterday, all supermom myths should be dispelled.
On top of the dryer are the last of the clean diapers. On top of the dirty covers. Oh, wait, the last of the clean pocket diapers are on top of the stroller handle there. Those hanging clothes are Grant's, our bedroom closet is shared between our room and Grant Sr's, so he uses that bar and Grant Sr uses the closet. G made that folding table..."Folding table, hahahahaa".
Anyway yeah. Everything piled on the folding table and in those baskets is clean. Everything else needs to be washed. That empty basket laying askew there used to hold the dirty stuff before it got scattered earlier. Aaron, I think, did it O_o
I did wash a load of dishes today. I read to Isaac. And I took an adorable video of Jake. You should all go watch it, it shows him walking along behind Isaac's push cart.

It takes a minute to load, you just kind of have to chill and wait until it switches to the new window.
You know I didn't even write last night. The babies are napping now and Ananda is asking me to play Lord of the Rings monopoly with her. I suppose I'll get some covers soaking and then play that with her and Aaron until they wake...maybe I could make something, I'm so off my game! We're never going to have tea at this rate...

Date: 2006-07-20 08:08 pm (UTC)Seriously, give me a triple espresso and I'm ON THAT. I'd have it organized and labelled in less than three hours, I promise.
I maintain my sanity by organization. If I fall behind, I get hideously depressed and then can't clean anything - so I have to have this routine of constant cleaning/organization/etc and I find that if I stick to it I actually kinda enjoy it.
But could you *maintain* it?
Date: 2006-07-20 08:25 pm (UTC)I actually work in there every single day. I at least run some through, or put some away, every. single. day. And about once a month I clean it spotless. There's just no way to keep up with it, especially when I have SOMEONE maliciously peeing all over the place.
Re: But could you *maintain* it?
Date: 2006-07-20 08:26 pm (UTC)Maintaining? Probably not. Depends.
I'm much better when the whole house is packed up, then I can unpack it, sort and organize as I go, clear clutter, etc... I actually like that part. I've done it a billion times now that we've moved so much, and each time I feel really proud of myself that I've culled it down so much.
