Report on First Week of School Productivity
Today begins the second complete week of having my entire family in school most of the day. I thought I'd give an update on how I've been keeping myself busy during my alone time.
Monday: Cleaned out the laundry room, everything from organizing the cupboards above the washer and dryer to vacuuming up kitty litter that had spilled under the shelves. Prepared a crockpot dinner, made refreshments for FHE. Washed a load of laundry, paid bills, wrote a blog.
Tuesday: Cleaned out the linen closet, even labeled the shelves with what should go on each one. Washed a load of laundry. Went to the library. Started a digital scrapbook of clothes that I like as part of my quest to find my style. Had a meeting with our new Primary chorister.
Wednesday: Presidency Meeting in the morning. Went to Goodwill for some pants for Hannah and a belt for myself. (This was the kids minimum day so they got home early.) Cooked pinto beans from scratch for dinner.
Thursday: Went visiting teaching. Hung out at the pool with a book. Washed a load of laundry. Started working on creating calendar pages.
Friday: Spent entire morning (8am-noon) helping Josh's teacher at the school. Went grocery shopping.
Maybe I was more productive at the beginning of the week than I was later on. Or maybe the things I did took more time. Anyway, I did feel productive last week. I enjoyed having the time to work on projects uninterrupted. I loved being able to go visiting teaching and grocery shopping without kids with me. I think I'm really going to enjoy this year!
By the way, Steven and the kids all seem to be enjoying school. Peter complained a couple days about getting headaches at lunchtime, but other than that they all seem to be adjusting well and getting along with their teachers and classmates.

Sounds productive to me! Good job. :)
