Let the chook out and fed her.
Got the baby up and gave her breakfast.
Hung two loads of washing done last night.
Cleaned up dog poo. Must remember to clean the bottom of one of my runners.
Made my breakfast and sat in front of the computer to eat it and write blog entries.
Changed a pooey nappy for Leila.
Took clean nappies out of the washing machine and put a load of towels in.
Hung the nappies on the line.
Made some more toast to munch while sitting at the computer making a new reward chart for Finn.
At the same time made Leila a paracetamol-laced bottle. She’s feeling a bit off after immunisations on Saturday.
Sat at the computer to update this entry and start on that chart.
Made 3 reward charts - for different purposes.
Changed Leila again and put her to bed. Hoping she’ll sleep for a couple of hours - she needs it.
Laminated 2 of the charts back to back in the one sleeve and put them up in Finns’ room.
Put the third chart up in the kitchen.
Emptied the disposable nappy bin.
Hung the towels out and put one last load of washing in. The sun is coming out so the washing might actually dry today.
Made a cup of tea (3rd for the day) and sat at the computer to update this entry and do some idle browsing.
Browsed for longer than I intended (as usual).
Had a quick shower and changed clothes. Don’t like to go out in public with baby snot on me.
Got Leila out of bed. She slept for just over 2 hours.
Changed Leila’s nappy and dressed her.
Made sandwiches for the kids and I for lunch.
Took Finn to kinder.
Came home and hung the last load of washing.
Went to the chiropractor.
Walked for half an hour after seeing the chiro. Usually I only walk for 10 minutes or so.
Came home, changed Leila’s nappy, gave her a bottle, made myself a cup of tea and sat at the computer.
Picked up Finn.
Came home and changed another pooey nappy.
Brought in some of the washing.
The nappies were still damp so I put them on the clothes horse under a heating vent.
Put some of Finn’s clothes in the dryer.
Put away Finn’s and Leila’s clean clothes and the dry towels.
Took food scraps and old potatoes down to the chook. Saw a mouse disappear under the chook house and resisted the urge to try to dig the little buggers out.
Ate dinner cooked by Mark. Tried to feed Leila and failed.
Prepared agenda for the kinder committee meeting.
Fed cats.
Fed dogs.
Put the chook to bed.
Went to the kinder committee meeting.
Came home.
Had a cup of tea and played on the computer.
Watched some telly.
So will you do this a few times a day? I think it’s a good idea. I do really think you do much more than you imagine and much more of it is useful than you imagine.
And I think you missed putting releasing and feeding the chook on this list.
I am updating it as the day goes by so that I don’t miss anything. I want to be as accurate as possible.
I had forgotten about the chook. I’ve put her in.
Well this is more than I manage in any day I have to say. I know you don’t see it this way but it strikes me that you are quite productive every day.
