Morning Rosebud! Hope you're having a good day.
I have an unexpected day off work so want to make use of it.
*Woke up at 4am with ds6 having a mild asthma attack 
*Gave meds, sat and calmed him. Got him back to sleep at about 5.30am on the sofa.
*Dozed off with him (not strictly an achievement but I needed the extra 40 winks)
*Woke again slightly later than normal.
*Made coffee.
*Opened kitchen windows.
*Woke ds12 and dd7 and made breakfast for them.
*Phoned boss and asked to stay home for son. He was lovely about it.
*Found and packed football kit for dd7s after school coaching.
*Got kids to school minus ds6 who is having a recovery day as he is exhausted.
*Phoned childcare and cancelled for afterschool today as son home and daughter at football.
*Had a quick look around the back lane for neighbours pet rabbit that escaped during the night. No luck.
*Put out a bowl of carrots and greens in case said rabbit decides to pop back for a snack and I can get him back into his hutch for the neighbours.
*Fed cat.
*Gave meds again to ds6
Still to start:
*Put some more laundry in the washer.
-Put all the clean laundry away. Especially the clothes on the sofa as nobody has sat there for 1 month because of it!
*Sort out remaining laundry so I know roughly how many washes it will take to get down to just 1 laundry basket.
*Prepared dinner with dd7. It's cooking now, yum!
*Strip daughters bed.
*Picked up dd7 from football practice.
-Tidy and vacuum hallway.
-Vacuum living room/kitchen.
-Vacuum ds6 room.
*Move boxed games from ds6 room to ds12 room where they belong, freeing up shelf space.
*Sort through huge piles of kids books in dd7 room so I can put them on shelves in correct kids rooms. (dreading this one)
#Put said books on correct shelves.
-Put away/sort random boxes in my room and put important things in my underbed drawers which are currently empty.
-Phone school to sort out current lunch payment problem.
-Take out rubbish to wheelie bin.
*Wash few remaining dishes.
-Try and clear kitchen table so we can eat there tonight.
Think that's enough for now. Feeling a bit overwhelmed already. ::)Gonna have a go and see what I can get done though.
Good luck everybody on your tasks today.
xxxEdit: well done everyone! I've still got mountains to do but I've got more motivation than usual after popping in and out of chat most the day! Thanks Diamondgal and Djollydjolan, you've kept me sane and focused!

I also awoke at an early hour and have been up since. Actually I did start to dose off, but was jolted back awake by a loud noise and have been up ever since. The nice thing is that I have been listening to the birds sing since about 4 am. But I expect I'll be tired tonight. Brother may be leaving today. He began talking about that yesterday afternoon. He was only going to stay a week and it has been about 10 days, but it feels like only a few. I will miss him and it seems like he wasn't here long enough. I don't know if he's going to leave today, but it's likely and I'll be gone most of the day so I'll miss his going if he does leave. eagle's Tuesday- morning wake-up routine (face, eyes, teeth, hair)
- coffee made
- paid 2 bills
- mopped tile flooring (kitchen & continuous connected floors)
- dishes (frying pan from last night's dinner)
- 40 minutes physical exercise
- laundry: one load done
-
To Doshower & hair dress & go to restaurant physical exercise tidy a room banking |

Update Tuesday evening, soon 09:00 pm:
Too hot to do much work during the day. So I will wait till it cools off a bit and then I will work some more on those papers. Same way I did yesterday. It was quite successful then.
Norwegian summer nights ... too wonderful to sleep away ...
With regards to my NOT to do list: Doing well with that. Practically no shopping. Not because I did not want to, but because I must have somehow hurt my foot and it is painful to walk. A blessing in disguise ...
