I've had two very productive days. Seriously. On Monday, I spent the entire day scrubbing the house from top to bottom. It felt really good and the house still looks semi-decent.
Tuesday, I folded laundry. Lots of laundry. And put it away. Well, the kids' laundry isn't put away, but that's for them to do. Also on Tuesday, I did other productive things. Things like sending out birthday/wedding cards, organizing a few things, etc. Basically, it was a very productive day.
Today, I feel totally blah. I don't even have the dishwasher unloaded. I'm frustrated with my kids. Chloe was 10 minutes late for school because she dilly-dallyed for an hour in her room instead of getting ready and I just wanted her to take some responsibility for herself instead of me micro-managing her every move. Lily is grouchy and defiant and making her horrible growl/grunt noise more than usual this morning. She'll also be late for school because she won't make her bed and is throwing a fit instead.
I don't have the energy or desire to deal with anything right now, but if I don't then entropy will rear its ugly head and the house will devolve into the state of chaos in which it usually resides. I have to sweep, I have to unload the dishwasher, I have to be nice and a taskmaster at the same time (how does one do this?), somehow I have to figure it out this morning....
BUT I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!!!!!

Don't wanna...don't wanna...I'm there too gals. Chaos loves company? ;)
I am having that day as well! It must be spring fever!!!
I hate those days. Good luck getting through it!
I really need to take a page from your book and micro-manage less. My kids can't do anything in the morning with out being reminded. It. is. driving. me. crazy.
Totally been there. Hope you have a better day today. If you figure out how to be a kind taskmaster let me know.
Some just seem to need the micromanaging more than others...and yet they grow up to be wonderfully productive amazing people! It will be okay! I love you lots!

Nice job on the super productive days. Those feel great! The off days are a pain. Hey, did you get the bingo game/chore charts from me last year? They really help in my home.
I have these days like crazy lately!!! I think it has a lot to do with the nasty winter. I just feel blah and need some sunshine!
I hear ya, girlfriend. At least you are writing it down, I haven't blogged in forever and my kids will probably think this period in their lives never happened because it is not documented...anywhere.
