sounds like you have a 40 spoon day and 10 day supply on hand

wish I could help

Legzz, let DD and DH2B help. You might have to spell it out for them until they get the hang of it but I'd start letting them become involved in helping you. If you're trying to do it all yourself and not accepting help from anyone they'll never have the chance to pitch in. And this can make them feel better about themselves, too. Most kids love to feel like they're making a positive difference. They just don't always know what will help us the most. So we have to take the lead and show them....then let them take the initiative and help. DH2B might be a different story. He really should know by now what you need help with and what will make your life easier.

Happy Birthday to DD!

my spoons are old and tarnished. a few have bent handles cause my sister tried to use them for black tar heroin, but I got them back. My son used a few to dig in the dirt to hunt for treasure, and a few are mis matched. I have no idea how I got spoons with flat handles, when mine have a lovely rose pattern on them. So, grab a handful. Im done for the day, and you can have what I didnt use.

I'll give you some of mine. I have a stomach thing today so I know I won't be using all my spoons for today. I mean really, how many spoons can you use laying in bed or on the couch watching tv or playing on the computer. But you have to return them tomorrow - unscathed! I need them to get DD19s room ready for when she comes home from the dorm on Monday.

Today so far... I accomplished.... a nap. Yup. That's about as far as I got. LOL

I will be running around like a madman here in a few minutes. But I really really needed a nap. So I took one.

I will get DD from the bus, and we will go to get the drycleaning and hit the grocery store where I will pick up something simple for dinner tonight and hot dogs for tomorrow.

I am putting off the laundry, DD will be in charge of her bathroom and bedroom, I will pack up all of the stuff on other DDs bed and put it in a box in the closet and deal with it later.

Dishes, and a quick vaccuum in the living room. Yes, there is major cleaning that neds to be done, but seriously, my house is going to be invaded by little people who are here to make a mess so why bother?

Exactly! So don't kill yourself trying to get that perfectly clean house. It'll be a mess once the kids run through it.

I used to clean like crazy before a party or even having my niece and nephews over. It was dumb! Within a matter of 5 minutes my house would look like a tornado hit. Plus, the floors "looked" ok before the party but I still cleaned them. Of course, that is where the first spill always occurs. LOL

So I went to get the dry cleaning and grocery store is done. And of course my ac compressor froze up while I was gone and decided to blow hot air for the last 2 hours while i was gone. It is 10 degrees hotter inside than it is outside.

You may have whatever is left, after my floor scrubbing adventure this morning..
