Monday...

I'm taking a break :~)

I woke up at 6:30 am,woke up the kids. Turned on their Tv's. 6:45am Mack goes for a shower...Kenndy to my room for manual (I'm too lazy to go down to the basement for her vest!) physio. 7:00am we all head down stairs. Get the kids their breakfasts, make lunches, sign agendas and eat. Upstairs at 7:30am (everyday is like this) then Mack has 10 mins to get dressed and brush teeth. 7:40, Kennedy gets ready. I go drive Mack and Trevor (my driving week) to the ETS bus stop...home at just before 8am. Finsih getting Kennedy ready...then we have a few mins to relax...Fabe drops her at school 8:20am. I usually have my breakfast and read the paper. Afterall, its already been 2 hours of busy! Then I tidy up the kitchen from the morning. Come up, check the computer for a little while. Then start my daily chores (laundry, etc, etc) Today I am doing a complete cleaning of the house. I didn't do ANYthing all weekend. Thats how I like it. Laudnry was all caught up Friday. So really, I don't need to do laundry on the weeknds. Or do anything else. Its my days off. So today, I'm cleaning hard. I have already done 3 loads of bedding (I stripped ALL of our beddings off) and I did the 2 bathrooms up here...tidied the kids' rooms. Dusted the bonus room and our room. Organized our room...I just brought up the vacuum so I'm gonna do that and then its all done up here...until the bedding is all done and then I have to put that on. Then, I just have to sweep and mop and I'm done up here. I decided to start up here today as I usually start on the mainfloor. The mainfloor is usually pretty clean. We don't use it down there, well the kitchen we do but we clean that as we go along. The basement is forsure spotless as I cleaned it last week and its ALWAYS clean down there as we never use it! It up here that is the worst!

Tonight, Im gonna get the kids to wipe down their desks, dressers and put away their own laundry. I'm finding the issue with me being at home is that they think that I will just clean their rooms as I'm home and they know it annoys me..I will do it here and there but I want them to do it themselves.

Anyhow, I better go...the vacuum is staring at me...then sweep and mop then my lunch break!
