In case anyone thought SAHM’s sit around all day doing nothing… here’s a snapshot of my day from 8 AM – 7 PM, with some bonus work after that.
Oh, nothing terribly interesting. I’ll give you that. Sometimes it can bore one to tears. Sometimes it is interesting. Today was dull, droney though since the focus area was child’s room.
- It is 8 AM. Launched everyone off to school/work with assorted bags, lunches, etc.
- Caught up church volunteer email
- Flipped jeans to dry
- Bunged my bedroom sheets in to wash
- Made my breaklfast, eating it, took vitamins
- Boxed up (3) 18 gallon totes of crazy toys from DD’s room. Where does this crap COME from?! Take break.
- Boxed another 18 gallon tote of crazy toy crap
- Put away all the remaining toys in their cubbies.
- Folded and put away all her clean clothes
- Collected all the dirties in the hamper by the door now that it’s not holding toys
- Bunged her sheets in the wash, flipped the other load to dry
- Picked up produce share from buying club
- Picked up odds and ends for quick dinner at grocery store
- Break — Made and ate late lunch, drink.
- Got laundry dryer/washer flippage done again. Maybe even twice. I’m losing count.
- Did kid’s dresser top.
- Vac kid’s room.
- Get kid at school.
- Helped child finish her room because I left a small pile on her bed for her to handle. She did it, but I had to periodically check that she wasn’t distracted.
- Made everyone dinner.
- See kid bathes, homeworks, put clothes and bookbag together for tomorrow, etc.
- All day coped with phone calls, emails, made appointments, schedule stuff on family calendar. I’m not only a housekeeper, I’m the fam secretary too.
- Took a post dinner nap because I was exhausted! It is now 7 PM.
- BONUS POST NAP WORK: Going to workout, then dinner dishes, bathe, and then “relax” by planning the next couple of meals.
