D is for determination

I am determined to get the dishes done today. I've got one sinkful done and a load running in the dishwasher. The boys have gone off to Bible club for the next hour or two so it's just me and the girl. Once I've finished my Mt. Dew, I'll be back at the sink. I've got yesterday's laundry to fold as well, but at least the kids have put away what I folded and sorted yesterday.

Trying to think of what we need at WalMart. I knew there was something missing on the list, but I didn't understand what it was until just now: scotch tape. I can never find any when I want it; like my scissors the rolls of tape tend to wander off and not come back.

I've doubled the dosage of my antidepressant as per my doctor's orders. Made me really groggy this morning. Of course, it didn't help that I woke up with hubby to have some fun, either. This is going to take some getting used to, as it did before when I took the sister drug. I hope I'm a bit more acclimated when Monday rolls around so I can drive the kids to school without trouble. This business with hubby taking the bus on weekdays seems to be working out okay, except when he misses the bus. Then he walks to work and I don't like that at all.

Well, better wrap this up before the power goes out. Seems that someone is outside messing with the power and phone lines for no discernable purpose. Plus, the dishes are calling my name....

A is for Accomplished!

My mission is accomplished! I got all the dishes done! It took all afternoon since I paced myself and took good breaks to cool down, but it's done. Now the trick is to keep up with them. I've got the dinner dishes to think about right now though most of them will go in the dishwasher. Just a frying pan to wash I think.

I put a load of delicate wash in the laundry and made hubby pull out the little bit of drawstring that got caught up in the edge of the dryer so that none of the delicates get stuck up there when I get them into the dryer. All three kids have been bathed and now hubby is watching the Avengers, which he borrowed from the library.... again. It feels so nice to sit here and feel like I've accomplished my goal for the day, it really does.
