Domestic list again


Made own bed
Had shower, did teeth, got dressed
Made phone payment for groceries
Fed children breakfast, ish. They could have eaten it if they'd wanted to.
Washed, changed and dressed Astrid
Fed Astrid to sleep
Took down dry laundry, hung wet
Sorted and washed load of white laundry
Cleaned washing machine door inside and out, no idea why so grimy
Picked up ALL THE LEGO and questioned my newfound ambition to have 18 Trofast drawers full of it
Oh, and yesterday I called the roofer and arranged for the bathroom roof to be repaired
Called to postpone Astrid's vaccinations until Emer is well enough to leave the house
Sorted load of light-coloured laundry for when the white load finishes
Phoned in an RSVP for a party on Saturday full of "We're ill so I don't know" caveats. I hate doing that.
Did this generation of the kids' Irish family tree for them, with different colours for different families. The next bit is the Swedish cousins, which should be interesting.

Edit: Did more family tree, including my mother's sister who died in childhood. That was interesting.
Finish filling the dishwasher, rinse, wash filter, and run it
Empty and refill washing machine
Served birthday cake and tea to a visitor
Changed Astrid from the skin out again
Served everyone lunch
Washed 8 wineglasses, crystal or handpainted so no good in the dishwasher
Put away some shopping, though not much
Caught up with world news - it's all happening, out there, it seems. It's a bit scary.
Made up hot bouillon for the girls
Called Rob with a shopping list for Sainsburys
Tried to eat enough to alleviate the hormonal despair; failed. I think this is my 4th period since Astrid's birth. She's three months old. This is cruel.
Hung Rob's shirts, though at least one will require ironing anyway
Hung some laundered fleece blankets
Folded away all the clean dry nappies ready for use


Next:
Hang another load of laundry
Put away clean dry clothes
