So, my goal is on track. Already this week I have cleaned every floor surface we have, which is about 1,000 square feet bigger than our old house. I have done all of the laundry and cleaned the girls bedding, as well as most of ours. I have done the grocery shopping and cleaned the girls bathroom. I still need to clean ours and the powder room. I also need to iron. After that, I have cleared the hurdle of needing to do stuff while I am at home.
Hubby and I always want to stay home at our house when we get a babysitter. We used to joke about finding a babysitter who would take the girls away so we could enjoy our house. I can always leave the house and wander places because the girls are in school all day. But I want to lay in my own bed, eat actual bon-bons and watch the several episodes of Beverly Hills 90210, the college episodes, that are on the Tivo. The sort of thing I can't watch when other people are around, namely inappropriate for small children and Hubby will just make fun of it. I know they are ridiculous, I enjoy the ridiculous sometimes. I do plenty of things that stretch my brain power, I need things that don't call for brain stretching.
The wild card this week is whether or not Fiona needs a day off from all of the pills she has taken. Last time she made it through the week with a lot of TLC before and after school. I have been letting her sleep later and putting her stuff together before she leaves. I even managed to eat lunch with her at school today, to help out the steroid munchies. She wanted a share a sandwich from Arby's and McDonald's french fries. I should've let her eat the whole sandwich. A little girl on steroids is a sight to behold. Our old oncologist used to love to watch her eat after she had been sedated for a back 'pokie'. The attention she would give her food was unbelievable. But so far, so good.

I had not even considered the beauty of staying home. I've never thought of having everything done so that projects are not "calling my name".
It sounds so wonderful to lie in bed and watch mindless TV that only I like.
Good luck - I hope everyone else cooperates with your plan!
Wow, you are on track. I am totally off-track. I feel like I've had two long days this week, and yet my house is a wreck. I woke up this morning thinking, isn't it Friday yet? Good job, you.
My hubby (who is a stay at home dad) has a heck of a time sitting still. Me? I have no problem watching mindless television while Ian naps. You may be on to something with the "always at your workplace" theory.
I hope you enjoy your well deserved veg time!
Glad to hear things are on track for your day off! And I hear on the mindless TV. Sometimes you just need it.
