  • Take glass bottles to the recycling centre
  • Apply for job 1
  • Apply for job 2
  • Apply for job 3
  • Look for new job postings [should find out if I got any interviews this week, there is a slight problem with my downshifting i.e. taking a step or two back career wise which no matching team/HR seems to understand - if only they let you put you were downshifting on your application and a note saying you won't leave for something "better"! Sigh!]

  • Plan meals for the week
  • Crochet lesson (oh so excited!)
  • Send back info re NFP/Fertility Awareness - for info see here. For Christians reading this, who are interested in Christian friendly forms of family planning or to gain more information about your cycle, WOOMB is also a very good site!
  • Gym
  • Walk
  • Call BT since they cheque they’ve promised me since October 2008 has still not arrived despite assurance 10 days ago it would be here within 5 days! Sigh!

Here we have schooling, mailing packages, making granola, doing laundry, more schooling, nursing the babe, tidying the house, making meals, swimming lessons, working on crochet project, putting groceries away, lots of snuggles with the kids, making supper, bathing children, bedtime, and then finally collapsing.

    So I see you’re not doing much of anything today huh? ;) LOL!!! That’s quite the list… I tend to write down the ‘basics’… my entire ‘to do’ list would be as daunting as yours i’m afraid!

    That is a very large list. Hope it is going well.

  10. Anna says:

    Phew – I am exhausted just resting my eyes on that little lot.

    I have huge amounts to do….but all I want to do is go and read Eclipse ;-)

  11. How good it’ll feel to get most of it done though! You definitely had a lot to accomplish. There are always things that I want to do but today was one of those days were I was just open to whatever came up. So I started dinner in the crock pot and made this week’s bread. Put the mail out and went for a run….and then responded to a text that ended up in walking each of the dogs individually. So now I’m showered, feet up, and snoozing dogs on my side!

    It’s so touch when you are qualified for a job but can’t get it isn’t it. My daughter has finished her Uni course, accounting, and despite the fact that she has to apply for 10 jobs a fortnight she still hasn’t got anything. Grrr. Patience sure is a virtue. Cherrie

  13. Joyful says:

    Well I just had the usual stuff to do here while at mom’s…Open blinds, help mom with her toilet/change/wash, make breakfast and serve her, do the dishes, prepare the laundry for today’s helper, have some coffee, watch the Christian programs, make lunch, do the dishes, telephone the medical supply place, have a long nap, talk, watch the Olympic programming, make dinner, make dessert, do dishes, look for seam ripper, open seams on mom’s nightgown and dress for extensions. I am very tired today so I haven’t done much outside of the things that really need doing. Hopefully my energy picks up this week as I have much to do before I return home. Glad you’re making much progress on your “to dos”.

    Are you watching Gilmore Girls? Me too, I’m sitting down to watch it right now, have got into the habit of watching it every day…I’m looking for a job too, it can be so slow and frustrating. And I totally empathise with the downshifting thing/trying to get HR people to understand…
