Hard to get back in the swing of it all!

After working for just 5 weeks, 9 hour days…away from my home and son, it is taking me a while to get back into the swing of everything.  My house has been just a disaster the last few days, and I can’t seem to get caught up on laundry, dishes, the floors…and so on!

I thought juggling work, a 2 year old, a marriage class, helping at church on Wednesdays and sleeping was tough!   LOL  Alex has been acting out the last few days as well, so that hasn’t helped.  Throw in him NOT napping, and you have one crabby toddler and mommy at the end of the day!

So, here is a list of things I have gotten done since the weekend, of course followed by a list of things I still NEED to get done!   I need something to hold me accountable!

Completed tasks:

• All bedding washed, beds made
• All towels washed, folded and put away
• All but two loads of laundry done
• Swept the upstairs laminate
• Dishes caught up through last night
• Cleared off the buffet in dining room (it is my catchall)
• Cleaned up Alex’s room
• Took Franz’s car through the car wash

Tasks that NEED to be completed!

• clean both bathrooms
• Vacuum all carpet and rugs
• Organize Alex’s toys both up and down stairs
• Clean up my office area
• Finish laundry
• Take recycling out
• Clean up the garage
