- Tidy house somewhat so babysitter can locate children.
- Iron Babes' shirts. (He has earned this a thousandfold. I'm not betraying any sisterhood.)
- Feed children fruit.
- Pack for tomorrow's trip.
- Shop for edible car supplies. (Could edit, but the ambiguity pleases me.)
- Give children some attention.
- Write blog post.
- Pick a movie to watch tonight. (Yay! Special cinema date night!)
- Shave legs.
- Find solution to conflict in the Middle East. (How hard can it be? Has anyone asked a busy mother?)

Ohhh.... date night.... Maybe you can combine feeding children fruit with giving them attention?
ReplyDeleteSounds like brilliant progress :o) Have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteWell you're doing better than I am. And jam sandwiches surely constitutes feeding your children fruit, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy date night. Don't shave your legs whilst ironing - bad combination!
ReplyDeleteI think babysitters always prefer a messy house with children they can't locate...leaves them free to raid the fridge, check all your emails and paint their toenails with your best Chanel rouge lacquer...
ReplyDelete"Give children some attention."
ReplyDeleteThis is on my daily reminder list as well. Sad, but true.
Sounds like you've all the important stuff covered.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your night.
Kids? Pshaw. Surely your little girl is old enough to start learning, right? It only burns for a second, and you can teach HER to betray The sisterhood-it's all good.
ReplyDeleteThough this is the kind of comment that needs a disclaimer: I don't, in fact, own an iron.
Love the 'give children some attention' memo. It's awful isn't it but I say this to myself at least 5 x a day. And am then guilt-ridden when they're in bed and I've failed to show them as much attention as they deserve. I'm slightly mollified that it seems to be a universal aspiration.
ReplyDeleteshave legs? SHAVE LEGS? someone remind me...it's been three weeks since I had that much time....
ReplyDeleteAh. You are doing well. Just have some damn fun!
ReplyDeleteOh date night. I love date night. Edible car supplies made me giggle, more so with the comment after it :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThat all sounds like far too much work. I think you've done enough. But do let us know how you get on finding a solution for conflict in the Middle East.
ReplyDeleteand I thought Europeans didn't shave their legs, ts. I guess my excuse is now gone.
ReplyDeleteI call it a win! Now go rest and have some fun with your husband- although maybe just make sure the sitter can find the kids first- but don't go overboard and like dust or anything. Think of it this way that would make me feel better about the very sorry state of my house.
ReplyDeleteprogess for sure.
ReplyDeletei think you're right, throw any kind of task/conflict at a busy mother and they will wrap it up/clean it/fix it/soothe it/solve it/take care.
Date night!!! Hope it was awesome. And even if you didn't get the legs shaved, I doubt your husband minded. Hey he has ironed shirts!! That's more than my hubby ever gets. Cuz over here I'm sporting knee bangs and armpit braids myself and I can't even think about ironing until I bulldoze through the 28 loads of clean but unfolded laundry that are taking over an entire bedroom at this point. Hope you had a blast and good luck on the trip!
