I'm already feeling accomplished! I cleaned up all the toys in the living room and the basement play room. Then I took all the upstairs toys downstairs, and brought the kitchen set and play food upstairs, for a change. Then I tidied the big kids' room.
I have two loads of laundry to fold today. And I need to run to the bank if I can get a minute, but I probably won't.

Pay life insurance
Call Honda to check my tires
Hide in a corner and try not to have a panic attack about how people suck.

I cleaned off then move a table from the basement up to our bedroom to set up an office space for myself. Went to Party City to get plates and streamers for E and A’s 5th!! Birthday this weekend. And finally returned like 6 things to Old Navy. That’s all I have in me today.

I started working on a parade float with my neighbor in Nov 2019. Due to a bilzzard and COVID, no parade has happened. Now it’s happening mid-September! So we’re starting up again. Of course we didn’t finish it in the meantime - not until we had a firm date.
I wish I could post pics.

I finally changed cell phone providers. Very excited for more data and less overage charges.

Called the bank to get a new debit card (mine malfunctioned) Also started collecting all of the house building info together instead of having it all over the place.
I took F to speech therapy today so I probably won't do much else, just some laundry maybe.

I spent nearly 6 hours yesterday cleaning and organizing and rearranging my kids' bedrooms and closets, which has needed done for weeks. (They helped)
Took M in to get the shots she needed but couldn't get earlier this summer due to a random fever.
Got a haircut, which I've been trying to get done since early July.

I’m growing pumpkins on a tall trellis and they’re going to get far too heavy. So I made tiny hammocks.

Yesterday I tackled taking the kids solo to a children’s play farm place that is exhausting. But we made it without tears or diapers or a stroller or a kitten. 99% outside except the kittens.
Today I must call to confirm zoeys sitters next week. Print out rollover IRA forms. Stop the milk and mail. (Vaca next week). Maybe a little work. This week the IL babysitting fell through for a variety of valid reasons. So I’m staycationing.
The kitties were adorable. Tapa still doesn’t do pics?

I discovered the girls don't start preK until 2 weeks after J starts 2nd grade. So now I'm scrambling to find care for them for an extra two weeks.

Just made M a dentist appointment bc she has an adult tooth growing behind her baby teeth and they do not seem to be getting loose at all. I’m nervous that she will have to get them pulled and it will be traumatic.

I’m nervous that she will have to get them pulled and it will be traumatic. E had the same sitch and they had us wait and it eventually fell out. And somehow her mouth had mostly recovered from the jaggedly shark tooth mess it was. Fx for M.

I took M to the dentist and they are going to pull one of her baby teeth next Wednesday. They are going to use Atarax and nitrous. She said she can go back to school after, but I’m going to take the day off work just in case.

Okay guys. Here’s the big reveal. This before pic is very embarrassing. I have been very busy at work and have been leaving a lot of responsibilities to the kids until school started. And clearly making breakfast and lunch on their own contributed to this. Oops. Please don’t judge. Here is the after! It isn’t quite everything I hoped and dreamed. The can sorters are larger than we expected so we may pare down to just 1 to get another shelf to put grains and such on. And my beautiful ivory and gold contact paper wouldn’t stick and kept peeling back up so I just took it off. So we may need more light. But here it is.

Okay that looks awesome.
In 6 months I’m going to ask you what you like and don’t like because some of my storage containers could use and up grade.

Do those containers on the floor hold flour? And how much?
Since my husband started baking bread we have 4-5 different flours in the house.
