Expectations v reality

My to do list:

-put Christmas decorations away (as we lumber towards Valentine's day, they are looking more and more inappropriate)

-put together flatpack bookshelf (I had it rush-delivered two weeks ago - money well spent)

-unpack some boxes (hopefully I will find my nephews' Christmas presents... and our landline phone... and, well, I forget now, but a lot of stuff that would be pretty handy)

-clean house (as the saying goes, cleaning with children is like brushing your teeth with oreos)

-put away washing (C "did the laundry" by putting in the machine, asked me not to touch it because "he is doing it".  I have to come downstairs to get dressed every morning as I have no clean clothes in my bedroom)

What I will actually get done:

-cuddle unhappy baby

-reassure daughter that there is enough room on my lap for her too

-referee elbowing match between children

-put everyone down while I recover from elbow to the nose

-pick up unhappy baby

-repeat
