Today’s “Did Do” List

Today’s “Did Do” List
April 22nd, 2009 @ 10:10 am

One of my all time favorite activity suggestions on the Rookie Moms website is to write a “did do” list instead of a “to do” list. My to do list is long, but my did do list on any given day isn’t too shabby. This is what I accomplished in the first two hours I was awake (7:15-9:15):

Nursed Augie
Dressed Augie
Made breakfast for Wyatt
Made and ate breakfast for myself
Spoon-fed Augie smashed bananas mixed with prune juice
Made and drank two cups of tea
Checked my email
Packed Wyatt’s lunch
Assembled a Lego truck from the 13 steps of instructions
Washed the remaining dinner dishes from last night
Wiped the kitchen counters
Finished loading the dishwasher and started it
Cleaned smashed bananas off every nook and cranny the baby could find on himself and the high chair
Chopped a watermelon up for snacks during the day
Picked out an outfit for Wyatt and nagged him to put it on
Taught Wyatt how to un-button and button a shirt (again)
Styled and photographed a bento box photo
Dressed myself (I know how to button my shirt, so this went pretty fast)
Changed a giant poopy diaper (go prune juice!) and selected a fresh outfit for the baby
Loaded both kids into the car
Drove to preschool and dropped Wyatt off

What have you done so far today?

I'm exhausted just reading this. I walked the dog, drove dogs to play day, went to chiropractor, picked up docs from a friend at her school, went shopping. Shopping and lunch lasted until 2:00. Now I am resting up before going to get the dogs who will hopefully be really, really tired.

I looked at my to do list and curled up in a ball and cried. Hey I got something done!!! WHOOT

* Snuggled Robin the way he demands to be snuggled after waking up. If he doesn't get fifteen minutes of snuggles in the morning (and after naps) he's cranky all day.
* Poured cereal for myself and Robin.
* Spoon-fed Robin cereal out of my bowl after he decided that mine looked more delicious than his and climbed into my lap to get at it.
* Made and drank coffee. Checked e-mail. Answered e-mail from our realtor about the house-hunt. Looked at housing listings. Chatted on the phone with realtor (all this during Sesame Street so Robin was occupied).
* Picked up the bedroom and the living room
* Swept the floors
* Picked up the kitchen, swept and Swiffer wet-jetted the floors
* Picked up and swept the bathroom and hallway
* Ran the sweeper over the hallway rug
* Picked up, swept and swiffered the bathroom
(During all of the above Robin followed me around and "helped." He was not very helpful, but it kept him interested and happy.)
* Cleaned the bathroom sink and toilet. For this I put Robin in his playpen.
* Made lunch. This consisted of throwing last night's leftovers into the microwave.

Now Robin is sitting on my lap while I type this. I'm trying to decide whether we should go out to the park now, or whether I should try and get him to take a nap first, hoping that it will be a little cooler in an hour or so. I really like the nap idea but Robin seems to have other plans.
