How much can a girl achieve in one day?

4am feed Kiera
5am Still trying to convince her to go back to sleep. She thinks playtime happens after every feed.
7:20 get up, organise Gwen for school, have shower.
8:30 Kiera's _starving_... feed her now.
9:00 leave for school, she was about 10 minutes late, oh well.
The rest of the morning was spent vacuuming the lounge room, dinning room, kitchen, hall, kids room, and bathroom. I put about 6 supermarket bags of rubbish out, did the dishes, cleaned up some of the stuff near the sink that
cthulu_for_pm has been going to get around to for months.
Midday, feed Kiera, feed Ro and me. Hold Kiera, cuddle Kiera, burp Kiera, feed her again.
After we picked Gwen up from school, I cut and made a new pair of jarmie trousers for me (they just need elastic in the waist) and then cut out and made three pairs of tracky pants for the kids. I even wrote their names on some ribbon with laundry marker and sewed that into the waist bands. How organised is that?! By the time that was all done, I realised it was getting late - heat up left over ravioli and feed the big kids, after feeding Kiera, who then chucked most of it up (is that because Gwen was having cuddles and tipping her all around?)and wanted more. We got Daddy on the phone to say goodnight and then I tucked Gwen and Ro in.
It's now 10:20 and Little bright eyes is still wide awake so I am typing one handed, I have never learnt to touch type but this is even slower.
I had hoped to make a new top today.  I want to do it with a seam under the bust and gathers under the boobs, so I need to check I've got the pattern right in  a cheap fabric, before I go and cut the purple pure wool knit. I also had plans to clean out the pantry. I guess they're now jobs for tomorrow.

sewing, kids, housework
