5.20am - Alarm goes off.
5.24 - Stumble from the bed and sneak down to the living room to dress in exercise gear
5.26am - Leave home for walk
6.08 - Arrive home. Wake hubby, make the day's bottles for Offspring #2, begin breakfast prep
6.12 - Offspring #2 calls from her room. Change her and bring her out to the kitchen, carry on with breakfast prep
6.13 - Offspring #1 wanders into kitchen rubbing his eyes and complaining that everyone is tooooo loud
6.14 - Hubby wanders into kitchen and asks if I ironed his shirt for today.
6.15 - Resist urge to run screaming from the house and instead hand breakfast prep to Hubby and go to iron his shirt (he was going to iron it but I offered)
6.18 - Get half way through ironing Hubby's shirt and realise that it has a great big oil stain across it. Get new shirt from ironing basket and begin again.
6.20 - Realise that I have only been awake one hour, that I won't get to bed until about 10pm tonight and that is a really long time away.
Yes, things did improve after that - we shopped for some vegies, had morning tea with a friend, posted the thankyou notes for #2's birthday presents, came home and had lunch, #1 did some painting (#2 did her very first drawing - some lines and dots that were brilliantly executed!), vacuumed, cleaned the toilet and bathroom, did several loads of washing and then a friend called in to tell me they are leaving town. Bummer :( In fact, really big bummer.
It's Wednesday so Hubby is at golf. We're having tuna mornay for dinner because it's easy and both the kids like it so no fighting at the dinner table tonight. It is made and in the fridge ready to go into the oven where it can cook while I'm bathing the kids and getting organised. I'm feeling a bit sad so may have to seek comfort from food - luckily there is an apple pie in the freezer and I just bought cream (really to make quiche but it only needs half a cup or so, not the whole carton). Big plans tonight - ironing in front of tv! All those loads of washing are dry and have turned into baskets of ironing. If I look on the bright side I could consider it an upper body workout LOL.
Question Of The Day: I've only been doing this a couple of weeks and am running out questions already! So my question is: have you got any questions that I could use?

Coming up with the Question of the Day is the hardest part of blogging for me. Some days I leave it off because I really can't think of anything.
Do you iron all your clothes before you put them away? I iron my clothes as I wear them, maybe I'll do an entire week when I really motivated.
Hi Paula, I'm thinking the QOTD might have to go! I usually iron twice a week, Saturday or Sunday night and Wednesday night, in front of the tv after the kids are asleep. I found that ironing as we wore them made the mornings even crazier after #2 arrived so switched to this and its working okay - I'm even starting to enjoy ironing (well not hate it as much anyway LOL)
