The plan tomorrow is to get J and X to strip their beds in the morning so I can wash their sheets, work all day, hang up J and X's sheets, collect our sheets and towels from line, sort and start washing clothes.
Tomorrow's plan -
Collect clean washing off the line
Wash dh's jeans/work clothes
Wash the linen
Go to the optometrist after work
Vacuum
Empty bins
Clear out litter tray

I am really starting to feel pregnant all the sudden these past couple days. You know what I mean? Kind of huge and lethargic? I guess my tummy and hormones have reached critical mass or something. This is not going to help with my motivation. I just hope I can keep it together long enough to finish the house. Just a few more weeks. We got a lot done this weekend.
Today I need to:
- Fold the laundry I did yesterday
- Do more laundry in that neverending battle
- Check the stain levels on the boards for the hardwood floor doorway sills, then put on the first coat of polyurethane if we're happy
- Try to get the menu control on my current project to stabilize with the other controls (yay for multiple third-party integrations)
- Do the usual tidying, though I did some last night so it's not too bad
- Figure out what's for dinner. Maybe gumbo. But that means I need to pull out the crockpot in the near future...

This thread is very good for me. I got up and started the wash. I didn't get to the dishes because grandaughter is fussy and I don't do the carry baby and work thing any more. I'll get more done tomorrow. I have done more reading the last several weeks and learning more about all the great ladies. I feel like each one of you will make a great friend. I need all the friends I can get right nowl Thank you for being you. I promise to put in my 2 cents worth from now on and not just hang around.

Heh, that'd be nice, but no... I'm due Feb 4. In theory, we only have a few more weeks of driving 90 minutes each way every weekend, crawling around the attic drilling holes and moving insulation, shoving stiff pipe down walls, installing hardwood flooring pieces (just the doorways left now), running electrical wire, calculating pump pressure loads, mudding drywall, etc (and that was just what I did last weekend), and we'll be ready to rent out the house and I won't have to deal with it anymore. I can relax and wait out the remaining ~4 months in relative comfort. hehe
Let's see, today, I need to
- Polyurethane those boards. Really. Spaced it and didn't have any sandpaper anyway. (1 coat of 2 done, 4 hours until the sand and recoat)
- Fold laundry (done)
- Do laundry (it's going. and going. and going)
- Tidy up and vacuum (done)
- Got the controls functional yesterday, but lots of arrangement, sizing, etc to do, then have to actually add the guts of the thing. (time for this!)
- Figure out what's for dinner. Maybe stir fry.

Thanks :)
The avatar shows her at 9 months, but she's 19 months now... this baby is due the day after her second birthday. hehe
Okay, today I need to....
- Pack to head up to the house.
- Make sure I don't forget those boards (I did finish them yesterday)
- Tidy up around here for being gone for the weekend
- Fold the laundry I finished yesterday
Once I get up there, I need to:
- Get the flooring ends for the doors fastened in
- Floor over the flooring ends
- Drill more holes and run the tubing from the attic
- Insulate and tack down the pipes in the attic that aren't done yet
- Finish the last circuit in the back
- Get some baseboard repainted and replaced
- Paint the plaster repairs I did last week
- Maybe get up the insulation and wallboard for the shared wall in back (we both have to be done with our stuff to do that hehe, can't lift drywall alone)

-figure out a way to clean my couch (get the stains out)
-clean mirror in bedroom
-clean out my purses
-have Akeelah try on her fall clothes to see if I need to exchange anything
