Tried my hand at making homemade dishwashing detergent today. Great except that I forgot to get lemonade Kool-Aid packets so will be finishing it this evening. Hopeful that it will be a better and cheaper solution to my weekly purchase.
Spent time helping Zoe extract her paper dolls and accessories from her Josefina set. Made some headway in cleaning out my bedroom. All of this may not seem like much to have done in a morning, but I will include potty training efforts to that list. I feel like a crazy woman. A happy, albeit crazy woman.
Enjoyed a nice quiet lunch with my boys while Zoe was over playing at her friend's house. The rest of the afternoon agenda: finish bedroom, laundry, and work out. Let's see how this goes. Got a lot of paper shredding done. I keep reminding myself it's part of the process of cleaning out, but it just takes so much longer than I feel it should.
Zoe was an emotional mess for the afternoon/evening. Not sure what that's connected to. Had good conversation and gave her quiet time to reflect and recenter herself.
Gideon was sweet and enjoyed getting to play Minecraft and playing pretend with Toby and Zoe and Lexi when they were at the house. Having issues with the older two feeling entitled to "stuff" or to not have to work. Change is a coming. Part of the problem, I feel, is that our staying alive doesn't depend on everyone being super involved in keeping the household going.
Potty training with Tobyn was crazy. Seemed like he decided he was just not going to do it. He knew where he should go, but he didn't care to. So, we will try again tomorrow.
Went to my sister's for the evening and ate her delicious chicken pesto pizza. Enjoyed watching "Pitch Perfect" for the fourth time. Nice to get out and have adult conversation and company after a relatively difficult day at home.
