Coffee with a fellow preggy mum! What a great way to remind me how normal my feelings are and to bring a smile to my face!

After two very busy days at work I have another day at home.

I am loving the accountability of keeping a Ta-da List of the things I accomplish during the day - it makes me more productive and I feel so much more balanced!

So here it is! The Ta da list for Wednesday!

• Load dishwasher x 3
• Tidy kitchen
• Pay bills and do banking
• School drop off
• Collect mail
• COFFEE with a friend :)
• Bring in washing
• Hang out washing x 3
• Start load laundry x 2
• Fold washing
• Garbage to bin
• Pay mobile bill
• Caught up on mine and Miss 7's ironing
• Tidied toy/office cabinet in playroom
• Clean vacuum cleaner head (geez I hate my vacuum!)
• Vacuumed lounge, family room, office
• changed bathroom towels
• collected parcel
• return dvds
• unload dishwasher
• Repack dishwasher
• collected eggs and fed chickens
• Picked up Miss 7 from school
• Helped with homework
• Went to library with Miss 7 for MORE books!
• Tidy hot spot in front corner near window
• Tidied library book basket (Massive hot spot!) by front door!
• Uniforms out for tomorrow
• Washing put away
• Tidied hallway table hotspot
• Quick tidy of nursery

It's been a good day. No MASSIVE wins on the housework front - but I've consistently gotten things done knowing that my body needs to cope with another work day tomorrow. And these consistent days are making a big difference. I feel my home is under MUCH better control!

You know what else I have noticed? Since I've had my home back under control I am calmer. And Miss 7 is calmer. And she's happier to play at home instead of being off and DOING things all the time.

Yep - the calm in the chaos. That's why we do this.
