Yesterday I did everyones laundry. So last night when it came time to do school, I didn't want anything to do with it. I was annoyed, but not surprised. Today annoyed or not, I need to do my Access project, so I don't have to deal with school this weekend.
Saturday I have a work training thing for a bit, and then the rest of the day is free. Sunday (if I can get my project done today) I won't have anything to do, but spend time with my awesome family.
I set a new rule in motion this morning with the older kids. Before they ask me if they can watch TV or play a game, they better have their stuff around the house (including their room) picked up. When they ask I'm going to go around looking to see if their things are picked up, for everything that belongs to them not picked up they are going to lose 10 minutes off their TV time. I'm tired of picking up after them if you can't tell.
When I was putting laundry away today I had Kaylee up on the floor of her room. To get to the toys she wanted she was tucking her knees up and pushing herself forward a little. Crawling is not to far in her future. The days of a picked up house are soon to be over for awhile. You watch as soon as I get the older two trained to pick up their crap, the baby will be emptying the bookcase daily. Oh the joys of kids.
So this morning I've relaxed, this afternoon it's nose to the grindstone time.
