Daily goals, motivation and check in

Good morning everyone,

My goals today include working out dinners for the week, grocery shopping and getting some washing done. I've kind of put those things off enough now and they need doing today.

It's the middle of a long weekend here. The little people are bickering at each other non-stop, the weather is rubbish and there's a black out so I'm facing some challenges already 😕 I might have to add in a goal to be calm and keep my snappiness in check too. Maybe a trip out somewhere is a good idea. Hmmmm.

What's everyone else got on today?

Hope it's a good day for you all

Long weekends are great arent they @Former-Member ! Sorry the weathers not so good though 😞 I'm going to get my two kidlets from their dads this afternoon (phew) so planning a movie night with pop corn etc when they get home!
/its so hard when everything is going wrong like that with the power etc, tents?colouring? make some biscuit dough for whent he power is back on? trip out would be great too!
Good luck!

Movie night and popcorn here tonight too @Former-Member.(now the power is back on). It's tough enough doing parenting on your own without the added extras like no power, dodgy weather etc. An outing seemed like a really bad idea with the kids getting on each other's nerves so we picked up a couple of DVDs and things to make cupcakes and caramel marshmallow popcorn. They've now been set to work tidying up a couple of things while I unpack the groceries (after my cuppa). Then we can hopefully chill out a bit more.

So far i have:

Dinners sorted until Thursday
Food shopping done (not completely packed away yet but will get there)
Washing machine on

Everything else can wait until tomorrow I think. I'm so tired lately that this stuff seems like a good enough achievement for the day.

Wow go you @Former-Member that's awesome.... Mmmmm caramel popcorn sounds delicious 😋
I've made kids fav tacos for tonight and enough to put away for a meal in the week. Attempting a roast lamb tomorrow (im not a good cook!) Lol. And made lunches for. the week. I wish I had a bigger freezer sono could do more meal prep!
Hope the kids tidy up well glad the day is getting better for you 🙂

Way to go @Former-Member. I think your doing an awesome job. It's really nice to have you and @Former-Member remind me what it was like when they were little, the good, the bad and the annoying 😉
When your rested can you please come over to my house and sort my dinners out until Thursday. 😜
I hope you have a lovely afternoon and the DVDs and cakes fix their bickering.
@Former-Member pretty much the same message to you to enjoy your evening too.
Take good care of you both 💜🤗😘

Go you too @Former-Member! I find the week so much easier when I am organised with school lunches and dinners. Having a big freezer and fridge definitely helps (although with no microwave I have to really think ahead defrosting things early).

Thanks @Former-Member 😊. I'll happily come over and organise your dinners as long as you can mind my kids while I do who are definitely good, bad and ugly all in one today haha. Seems like a fair trade 😜 Hope you're having a good day!

Thanks @Former-Member for the offer. Not sure my patience would be good today. I have 4 sons nearly all adult who still test my patience. 3 at home still. I'm actually just slowly cruising through the day not achieving anything but my mood is ok and not rollercoasting every twenty minutes so I'm taking that as my win for today.
Enjoy your long weekend if you have one. 💜🤗
