Well, I was thinking I might not post this because it might just be a boring "laundry list" of household chores, but it looks like Lori2 double-dog dared me, so here goes:

First, I overslept, because I accidentally set the alarm for PM (DH says I'm good at that).  If memory serves me correctly, (although I did wake up at about 7:30 and look at the clock, I rolled back over, fell asleep, and) I finally got out of bed at 9:45 a.m.  My DH and I have a derogatory term for ourselves when we sleep in that late, but it's not PC so I'm not going to blog it. 

I made myself two fried eggs for breakfast, along with a piece of toast -- more like half a piece of toast, because I had sent most of the whole wheat bread with the rest of the family.

I ground three batches of wheat.  I have a Grain Mill attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer (mine is an older version than the one in this picture; I like the looks of mine better because it has actually has a "picture" of a mill cast in the iron on the front, although this one may beat mine for efficiency, I don't know), so I can only grind 6 c. of wheat berries at a time.  Then I have to wait 45 min. before I can run another batch.  I pre-measured two or three loaves' worth into quart-size Ziploc freezer bags, dumped the rest into two gallon-sized bags, and placed all of them in the freezer. 

I started a loaf of bread in the breadmaker.

I ran a towel and a hand towel through our faux front-loader washing machine with a cup of Clorox.  I know, something is wrong with this picture, having to clean a washing machine.  But that is what I do, usually about every six days, to keep our clean laundry smelling like clean laundry should smell.

Somewhere in this timeframe, I seem to recall unloading the dishwasher and emptying the dish drainer as well, maybe handwashing some things, and straightening the kitchen somewhat.  Maybe I should go back and read my first post to see where I was...

Okay, true confessions here.  I hadn't cleaned up the eat-in area of the kitchen from the day before when the kids had played with Play-Doh in there.   So I still had to sweep the kitchen floor.  I moved the table and chairs out of the way, and even swept adjacent areas in the family room, dining room, hallway and foyer closet just for sport.  You should have seen the piles of Play-doh, crumbs, etc., that I collected -- er, no, you shouldn't have seen them.  I probably would have been embarrassed.

I also spent more time in the playroom, but not nearly as much as the day before.  Maybe 45 minutes on the playroom and the schoolroom.

I think I started cleaning myself up for the wedding at 1:45, so the above is supposedly 4 hours' worth of work.  I know, once it's there in black and white (or white and purple, in the case of this blog), it doesn't seem like much.  My 85-year-old mother probably could have shaved 1:15 off my time.  Just call me Slacker Mom -- oh, wait, that's Lori2's old blog.  Guess you have to call me Coaster Mom.  LOL

God bless,

Lori.
