A Day in the Life of........ME!

So today - the only thing on my "to do" list, my  "really really need to do" list was to "help" Nicholas and Noah clean out from under their beds.  Which means I drag everything out and "pre-clean" the garbage and then let them organize what's left.
Easy enough - well, "simple" enough ............ in theory.  It is 7:00 pm and it is still not done.  But, here IS what got done, and how it came about.

First - I got up and walked on the treadmill while Greg did the elliptical.  Good quality time with my hubby.  Then we got the boys up, read scriptures, got breakfast done and lunches made.  Sent Greg off to work and Nick and Nate off to school.  Things are going pretty well .......... so far.
And then, A.D.D. happened.....

Noah and I were on our way upstairs to start on his room ..........when I noticed their bathroom was pretty dirty.  So we stopped in to "tidy" up.  I started cleaning the counter and realized there was "drips"  (of what - I don't even want to fathom a guess) on the wall and down the front of the counter doors.  So I started wiping that down and realized the floor had toothpaste on it - so I scrubbed the floor.  Noah cleaned the toilet and "spilled" on the mat.

So I went downstairs to throw them in the laundry and figured since I was doing that I might as well throw in the towels from my bathroom.  As I was getting the towels from my bathroom I noticed the bathtub had a ring.  So I started cleaning the tub and ended up cleaning the whole bathroom.  Then finally took the towels to the laundry room and noticed the garbage in the laundry room needed to be taken out.  So Noah and I took out the garbages and then I realized the kitchen garbage needed to be taken out - so as I opened the pantry to get the garbage bags, I noticed the sugar bucket was getting low.  So I went downstairs to get some more sugar and found the oatmeal, and decided I would make No Bake cookies for Gregs scouts tonight. So we came upstairs and filled the sugar and started making the cookies when i realized I needed a measuring cup from the dishwasher - that needed to be unloaded.  So we unloaded the dishwasher and found the medicine syringes on the top rack, and as I was putting them away I thought I would check the expiration date on one of the bottles of medicine.  It had expired - so I figured I better check the rest.

 And ended up cleaning out the medicine cupboard ............and then made cookies.  Then did the dishes and then FINALLY took out the garbage.
Then Noah and I spent a good 20 minutes taking apart his Zhu Zhu pet he got for his birthday.  It had a run in with a massive dust bunny - well more like a dust rhino- under the computer cabinet.  It got "gunk" tangled in the wheels that we had to clean out.

Finally, I decided to take a shower before it was time to take Noah to school.
On my way to the shower, I noticed my room needed to be "tidied" up a little. So 15 minutes later, I finally get in the shower.
Now there is only 20 minutes till we have to take Noah to school.  So we fix a quick lunch and finally get out the door for school.
Needless to say - when I got home from taking him to school - I crashed and took some "personal" time.
Then I "prepared" myself for the kids getting home - homework, book reports, and reading.
Then I fixed dinner and got things cleaned up for scouts.  Put away laundry, wiped down the counter tops.

And now...................... I blog.
And tomorrow I will try to clean out from under their bed............again.
