Where did the week go!
One week, 7 days, 168 hours, how did it go so fast! Did I blink, get caught up in life or just what?
Good morning I'm Kandis and welcome to Its A Mom Life. My two oldest kids went for Easter break this year, they were gone for a whole week! So what did I do with my time? Well for the weekend we did Easter stuff, go ahead and read my blast from the past post, for the adventures.
Now what about the next 5 days? I had a pretty big to do list happening, I feel I should of shortened it, however there were some stuff I just really needed done! I pushed myself this week to accomplish as much as I could in the end I'm pretty impressed.
Lately I've been trying to feel proud of what I got done, instead of dwelling on what I didn't. I could do so much but if there is anything left, I feel I could of done more, which is silly as I can do a lot in a day! So, yes this is part of my summer goals is to slow down!
So Monday, turned into a city run. Hubby had physio and it turned out we sold one of our cars the night before, it happened to be to one of my old friends.
Waking up Monday, breakfast and cleaning up the house, we headed outside for some play time. Keeping the toddler up hoping he would just sleep in the van.
As we came in had a quick lunch, cleaned up the kitchen. As the husband took off for physio I nursed the baby and got every lined up, to head out with the kids next. Headed down, grabbed some coffee and met up to drop off the car.
Had a great little visit as it's been a very long time since I had seen my friend. Heading back home around 4:30 got home and jumped right into supper and our night routine.
Tuesday was a nice day at home. However a couple things of coarse changed. Having to make a fast trip into another city I got to drop off lots of clothes to the donation boxes, and had a sale to drop off of girl clothes. Heading back home as we were supposed to visit a good friend that evening. Got home, unloaded, packed snacks and off we went. Once again a great visit that evening it ran even more late, however I happened to buy a frozen pizza in the city so supper was a sinch. Pizza in the oven both kids had baths, masyn had supper as I got the baby ready for bed. Both little ones in bed it was time for some mama time lol.
Wednesday came fast, and it was a good day, with being a home I ended up getting lots more crossed off the list. Again with the hubby gone to the city for physio I stayed home in hope for a productive day. Getting the last 2 tubs folded and organized of boy clothes, I have completed sorted and organizing it all. I have to buy some more vacuum seal bags to completely finish my project and I am so excited and happy about this. The baby had not been napping the last couple days so it was more quick basic tiding that occurred. With supper coming as my husband was just running to the grocery store to pick up some smokie I made with some perogies in the freezer, it was a perfect supper plan for hump day.
Thursday was a early day that was supposed to be a very long car day. With the baby and hubby having doctors appointments we took off for our first city shortly after 9:00am. Getting those done he had a meeting to quickly attend then we were supposed to be off to Edmonton for more meetings. This one did not occur we decided to reschedule the Edmonton stuff for the following week and headed home. Getting home we just hung out, as everyone needed a little regroup and chill time. With supper, baths and of coarse cleaning up done, it was a other day done. However with the kid's coming home the next day it was panic time as like I said, I feel as tho I should of had more tasks accomplished. So I tackled the dvd's, and with it being me they are in alphabetical order, but needing some tlc as it had been a long time since they were organized. I spent oh so long, much longer then planned.... this ended up taking 2 hours🤤 but it's done I guess!
Then Friday was here just like that kids are due home around 1. I quickly vacuumed and finished a couple things. Then headed outside and quickly got the bottles sorted. Almost all done I have glass bottles to bag, and 2 small bags to sort and those are done.
I always sort mine at home to make a fast trip when taking them in! What do you do? Do you sort or have them sort?
With all these tasks done, I have also been looking high and low and relooking and resorting places I should not have redue all for the jolly jumper for the baby. I know it's here I have had it for 10 years and just seen it! Of coarse the week that I wanted to try it, think I could find it! I will find it!
When the kids got home and settled in,I had to quickly vacuum the basement, this was a goal to finish the basement for April. With some hidden paper work to sort through still, it is done. I am so happy to say I got my basement cleaned!
So that was a week in the life here! A busy week, filled with goals and tasks, that in the end got done. With 2 kids one who did not want to nap, multiple trips to the city, it was a good week, I will take my done list over my not done as I feel the week was a win!
I hope you had a good Easter break! What tasks did you get done, feeling more ready for May?
