Rush Rush Rush!!!

I'm writing but also rushing, ever feel that way? It's quite interesting actually, you are typing as fast as you can but then end up making so many typo's, which in the end really defeats the purpose of rushing because you have to keep stopping and fixing it. *sigh* Oh well........

The reason I'm rushing is because I have Veronica's kids over again today, they'll be here in an hour and I still want to mop my floors and vacuum the living room. I could have done it yesterday but I was out getting groceries. (I always have an excuse, so don't be surprised lol).

After friday, I have to tell you that I'm preparing myself. I have a FULL pot of coffee waiting for me, and I'm going to eat a big breakfast just so I have the strength to chase after the little one. Yes, I know I know, I'm sure a lot of the SAHM's with more than two kids are probably pointing and snickering at me from the corner, but hey, yeah you back there......we're not all equal and what works for one doesn't for the other right? *hats off to all the moms who have more than two kids*
You have NOW become part of my Hero List.....which includes, soldiers, firefighters, mother's juggling career's, single mothers, oh the list goes and on, don't you feel part of a special thing???

After the kids leave today, I have to get my house cleaned and ready for the family coming in tomorrow. It's not that I live in filth, I don't, and for the most part my house is always clean, but you all understand how it is when family comes to visit, you want things to be nice and make a good impression (whatever that means). So I have a running list of things to do from about 4pm onwards....guess I'll be going to bed late tonight.

While talking to Sarah aka Mrs Blythe, via her comments, I told her that I would share with her the story of how hubby and I met. Some of you already know, but for the others that don't and are interested or curious, just go read this post I made a while ago. Who knows, I may actually shock some of you LOL


For all you Meal Planners or wannabe Meal Planners, you have to go on over to Organizing Junkie's today. She's starting a new feature (which I'm also going to be joining) called Menu Plan Monday in which we all post our menus for that week. I think it's a great idea and will help the beginner MP (meal planners) get started.

Talking about meals, I posted my menus for the next two weeks, over at my food blog "Full Bellies", there's also some new recipes posted for things like "Tres Leches Cake" and "Breakfast Casserole" etc.
Go on, what are you waiting for, get over there and see if you find something to your taste. :)

Ha! You know what I just realized? That no matter how early I start my blog, it still takes me about 2 hours to get this much written....I had no idea that I had to stop so many times LOL
No wonder there's days I sit down and draw a complete blank.....DUH!!!

I have a HUGE to do list today. Wanna see it, hmmm, wanna feel better about your day? I'll even let you sit there and giggle, go ahead and shake your head too and say "poor girl is delirious thinking she can do all that in one day". :)

All the laundry - all 1 thousand loads (not really, but still it feels like it)
Steam clean carpets (ok Emily, you can stop laughing at me now lol)
Run to recycle center to drop off boxes and other trash
Change all the bed linens
Write my Tackle it Tuesday and Treasure Tuesday posts for tomorrow
Run by Housing office (LOL is all I say)
Return books to library
Run to store to get items I didn't pick up at Walmart
Clean upstairs and downstairs bathroom
Wash living room glass doors

You know I could go on, but I'm nauseated just looking it at right now.....especially since I know I have to get all this done AFTER 4 pm. I'm lucky the housing office and the library are still open at that time. Alright, I really have to get going, the kids aren't here yet, so I guess I am going to shift things a bit and get some of my TO DO list done right now. Why save it for later if I can save it for next year right? HA!!! I'm just kidding........why save for later what you can do now.

Have a beautiful day everyone :) Hugs all around, and here ya go, some coffee to keep you happy while you go blog hopping around. Say hi from me will ya....don't think I'll have a chance to do it myself today :(

God Bless,

You have a full day! Try to enjoy it. Have fun with your family

Christina said...

I don't know how you do it all girl. I can barely find time to write a good blog entry. I wish you luck with all the kids over today and I hope you can get all you need to get done before your family visit starts. I know what you mean by wanting to make a good impression. I always feel like if I don't keep the house up when people are visiting they will be saying what an awful SAHM she is. I know logically no one ever would, but in the cosmic scheme of things I still believe this.

Busy you! You know, babysitting extra kids is harder because you're not used to them - when they're you're own, it's no harder than it was with just two kids (after a while. The first couple of months, I was nuts.). And everyone tells me that you barely notice a difference with the fourth one, although I don't know if I'll test that out!

Jodi said...

Good luck with your busy day!

Laura said...

Sandra, love your new picture! I also feel like I have 1 thousand loads of laundry but today is grocery day for me so laundry must wait. Hope you get through the day..I know I'd be exhausted! Hopefully Mr. Linky will get working shortly...sorry about that. Have a happy day!

Working moms and moms with more than 2 kids are also on my heroes list!! (as well as all of the others you mentioned.) I can't imagine having to work all day and only getting to spend a few hours with my kids before putting them to bed and doing it all over again. I honestly don't know how they do it all!!!

YOU ARE SO FUNNY......AND WILL BE VERY BUSY TODAY.

Uhh... after half a dozen kids it's amazing I haven't completely lost it! Though I know I'm on teetering on edge - I'm a Looney Mom for sure!

I had to laugh at this "draw a complete blank.....DUH." That's hard to believe; I wonder sometimes how you never run out of fresh stuff!

There you go again......making me tired just seeing what your day involves. How do you do it?

I just discovered I'm three posts behind in your blog. My bloglines don't seem to be working lately.

Karyzma said...

That really is a HUGE to do list. Gosh, I feel really bad, because I could probably do all that in a week. But, I wouldn't take that bet to a casino or anything. LOL. You amaze me always. Have a great day, Sandra!

Love,
Kathy

The beauty of bloggin at night, after everyone else has gone to bed, is I get to ask...did "poor little delirious girl" get it all done? LOL.
Your to do lists are out of this world...that would be my to do list for a week, not a day!!
Hope you had a wonderful day..when you read this I'll probably be in bed still..so happy Tuesday morning, from someone who is still in Monday night.
