I made myself a chore planner a couple of weeks ago, this explains why I haven't been 'Greasing' lately. After comming to terms with panic attacks and getting some stronger medication from the GP I was able to focuss and get my life in order - back to what it was like before my house fire. I mention the fire because it was from then all my anxieties started. I managed to get myself back into a routine, i make sure everything I have to do I written down and I tick these chores off as soon as they're completed.  It's a long list, but once you've managed to get on top of everything, it really doesn't take that long to complete. This was todays 'to-do' list.

The Morning ritual:

• I woke up at 6am.


• Shower and dried hair.


• Got dressed and put my face on.


• Woke up boys.


• Made breakfast and we ate together.


• Woke emily and James when the boys left.


• Dressed Emily and James.


• Made Emily and James Breakfast.


• Woke Roger.


• Took kids to school.


• Put Gi's on the line to dry.


• Put in more washing to wash.


• Dressed Layla.


• Fed Layla breakfast.


• Cleaned Porch.


• Cleaned living room.


• Cleaned up breakfast plates and cleaned kitchen.


• Blogged for a bit.


• cleaned shower room


• hoovered the stairs.


• Quickly stuck the hover over the bedrooms.


• Made beds


• Wiped over en-suite and disenfected toilet.


• hung more washing out.


• Made layla dinner


• Took layla to school.

It's now 1pm, this time is foccused on me usually, but today we had to go to town and tax the car and pay the bank some money.

3pm we picked up the kids from school.

I'm ironing the Gi's for Karate, Rogers making tea for the kids and off we go to work!

I sit and listen to all the gossip and whatever karate issue arises, then it's my turn to have a lesson. Sweat like an horse then we leave to come home at 8.15pm.

• 8.30pm I take the soaking wet washing off the line because it rained!!!!!


• Tumble dry washing.


• Prepared clothes for tomorow.


• Made pack lunches for tomorrow.


• Folded away dry clothes.


• Put Gi's into wash.


• Washed super dishes (Roger cooked super)


• Tidied the living room


• Disinfected downstairs toilet


• Emptied bin in kitchen


• Then took my panic attack meds.


• Now i'm Greasing on greasy!

All in a days work huh! My life is hard, but I like routine. We work far better together if we know what each others doing. There are times when things don't go to plan but thats life. I'm going to bed now - G'nite <3

Wow, definitely sounds like the life of a mom. So rewarding yet no one ever told me that it would be SO much work! Hope your tomorrow is just as accomplished!

Moms job is the hardest - I have to admit.

Whew! You had a very busy day. I wonder if others wrote out everything they did, they would end up with a huge list? I think many would! Have a lovely sleep!
