productive. and it's a miracle at that!

well, semi productive at best really.

i managed to tackle the little girls room. where Hope and Joy live. and let me tell you is was NOT CUTE! gross, is a more accurate description. and seriously i don't spend tons of time in there, there was a path , and that was about it. but today i tackled it. with their help a little bit. and i finally made their beds up with their new comforters,(that i bought last year and was waiting on, don't ask me why,) i think i wanted a clean room first. So cute. they were pretty excited and now i can tackle the toy situation in there, and in the playroom(new dressing room) yeah the toys are still in the dressing room. which frankly chaps my hide. but first things first right? i have to have clean organized bedrooms to move the toys into. and on the way purge the stuff i don't love, they don't use, or i just hate. anyway. one step closer.

i made lunch. and really cooking for 8 midday is ridiculous. but it has to be done. i'm ready to start calling it supper and the big meal of the day instead of doing 2 big meals. and especially since they didn't eat the dinner i cooked very well. AND . I'm sorry but i thought it was customary to come to dinner when you are called, not when you get the load of laundry in and sorted? after sending out a work email and before the kids loose interest and bail. i dunno i thought it was a everyone together moment. somehow we didn't get that. just one more reason i don't love to cook. seems like whenever i do, people don't eat, and I'm left disappointed. are my expectations too high?

i guess i should just be celebrating that the majority of the clothes in the house are CLEAN. Lance has been rocking the laundry. and i'm loving the dressing room for the fact that as it's clean there is a place to stick it. we are officially out of kid hangers, that is saying alot. and i must go purchase more. lots more. and i think it's time to purge too. just to free up some hangers.

also blog worthy Lance changed the brakes on the van today. in record time. WHOOHOO!

hmm. we had family night. OHHH LAAALAA! yeah . i even did the lesson. on saying kind words instead of talking mean. something i could totally take to heart. and then we went and bought Popsicles. FANCY!

tomorrow there is secret fun planned. OH YEAH! big fun! and yet i will wait to blog it after we get home. but you should know i have the plaid shorts all clean. for the WHOLE HERD! totally a whole family outing, gotta match. have i mentioned the reason we all match, or i should say everyone but me? well because

1. if i loose one, i know what they are wearing and can tell whoever i need to .
2. i can spot them in a crowd, as opposed to having them blend in.
3. everyone knows they belong to me, because spares rarely have matching outfits
4. i can wash everyone's clothes afterward in fewer loads
   
5. i love the WOW factor.

unfortunately it doesn't impress the side of the family we are going with, and i do not flip them the bird. but you can imagine how snotty,rude, tactless comments fly with me? mentally i am ripping new ones, and using all the restraint i can muster. and I'm already feeling stressed in advance. it could be a splendid day. we'll see. and if it isn't i won't be able to vent about it here anyway. bummer! but upsode will be Lance will have a fun day off for once.

So that is the fun. i still have more rooms to tackle. a little list won't hurt so i can refer back?

1. Pierce's room
2. dressing room
3. my room
4. laundry room
5. soda room-storage organization
   
6. basement boxes

well i better get moving, and go lay out clothes for the fun of tomorrow. and clean out my purse, and get my must haves packed. like diapers, wipes, extra outfit for kids that blow out, sanitizer,
my book, for my own entertainment. chapstick, bandaids, wipes.

oh and please note the Top Mama button on the side. i want to be a top mama. whenever my picture gets posted. your clicks could keep me there. how cool is that? anyway. very cool!
