Still no baby!!!

Well, my due date (13 March) has come and gone and little Penelope is being stubborn. However, with what we've had going through our house over the past few weeks, maybe she is being wise. Natalie had complained of a tummy ache, then Robbie had a tummy bug, Natalie had strep throat and I had a tummy bug over the weekend. I guess I can take another day or two to get things reorganized and disinfected again.

Believe it or not, I am actually caught up on laundry. I think I may even get away with only doing one load today. The kitchen and dining room are spotless as I cleaned those pretty well after dinner last night. I didn't have much choice as Shawn made tacos and Robbie with shredded cheese leaves quite the mess that I didn't want to leave until today. I just need to do a quick tidy up of the other rooms, sweep and vacuum. I would like to tackle my craft room, I admit that I've been closing the door and pretending it doesn't exist and there are a few clutter hot spots that could use some attention that if I don't attack before baby day will likely never get done.

So, instead of laying around all day feeling sorry for myself, here is what I plan to accomplish today. (I'll come back throughout the day and check things off, stuff that's done is Green)

• Make beds & get everyone dressed
• Get breakfast ready for the kids and clean up after
• My 1 load of laundry put in the washer
• Walk Natalie to school (1/2 mile each way)
• Take a little rest
• Play with Robbie
• Tidy up and vacuum of living room
• De-clutter bench in entry way and sweep
• Move laundry to dryer and fold what's in dryer & put away
• Robbie's lunch and clean up after
• Walk Robbie to school (1/2 mile each way)
• Take a little rest
• Vacuum bedrooms and playroom
• Clean toilets and sinks
• Fold laundry and put away
• Start to organize craft room
• Take a little rest
• Pick kids up from school (1/2 mile each way)
• Start dinner (beef stew)
• Natalie's homework
• Play with kids
• Dinner and clean up after
• Family Home Evening
• Bedtime routines
• Crash

Maybe keeping busy will help little Miss Penelope come a little quicker!
