The 3 Most Productive (NBR) Things You Did This Weekend

[ThePalindromicOne]

I'm having a hard time doing NBR'ed things in my "free time" (meaning all i do nowadays are baby-related things).... but I got a couple things done this weekend! What about you?

1) Ordered my sister's bridal shower invites
2) Stained the coffee table that my hubs built with him
3) Started my seedlings for our veggie garden

[bendherova]

1. I cleaned/prepped my house for a 4yo's bday party.

2. I cleaned my house post 4yo's bday party.


I'm done.

Well yesterday was pretty shot since I was at work all day. Even though I worked all day it didn't feel productive as I still have a massive amount to do.

So I guess the only productive things I've done today was walked the dog and went grocery shopping.

On my list:
Clean the bathrooms (will probably delegate to DH)
Unpack groceries
Make dinner for tonight and tomorrow
Make lunches for tomorrow

Are weekends supposed to be productive these days? I think I've fallen off the bandwagon then

I did watch like 6 episodes of Private Practice...almost thru the first season! Also made the best chicken fettucini alfredo ever...yum! Now I'm getting ready to go to Target to get some weights for the Prenatal Barre DVD I ordered so I can get off my ass and get some exercise in.

I actually consider catching on my beloved TV time to be productive.... I watched this week's American Idol last night.... that it was an excellent use of my time!

Yesterday I ate food and took two naps. That is all.

Today:

1. Cleaned the house: dusted, swept floors, cleaned floors, washed sheets.

Planning on cleaning the couch. The dogs like to rub on it so I need to scrub the cushions. Need to vacuum. Need to go to the grocery store. Planning on cooking dinner.

Maybe walk the dogs today.

Private Practice is a great show, just a bit of warning, the later seasons get kinda dark and (possibly) not ideal for pregnancy. Granted I am a big baby when it comes to TV shows, so it could have just been me, but I binged watched it and it totally depressed me towards the end and I wasn't even pregnant.

[erbear]

1. Did all of the loads of laundry
2. Finished all of my grocery shopping for the week (and actually bought about two months' worth of meat at Costco with MIL yesterday)
3. Organized the kitchen

I feel so accomplished that I'm catching up on shows on Hulu+ now!

1. I left the house at 7am Saturday to drive an hour to my nephew's travel baseball tournament. Sat in 90 degree sun all day to watch all his games. (Those may could count as 2 things!)

2. Helped my DH hang a new flatscreen in his living room and rearrange (sort of) and put his old flatscreen in my sitting/living room.

3. Cooked pancakes eggs and bacon while DH cooked smoked sausage and bratwurst on the grill this morning and enjoyed an amazing Sunday morning breakfast together. cleaned up and now heading to church.
This post has made me realize that I didn't do absolutely nothing like I feel like.

I had major plans to get tons of crap done this weekend but that all went to hell when Grandma ended up in the hospital here for surgery an hour and half away from the rest of my family during a travel advisory so no one could even get here.....

I didn't get through my list but I did manage:
1. Running errands for school
2. Cleaning out and organizing the cleaning closet
3. Cleaned our upper floor

[Deleted]

1. Took DS to his soccer game.

2. Vacuumed the ever living crap out of my living room this morning. As in moved all the furniture, to the tune of three canisters of dog hair. Hooray for yellow labs in the spring.

3. Took a shower.

4. Caught up on my billing for work.

[wink568]

DH is working at a convention this weekend, so my productivity automatically goes down the crapper when I'm home alone.

1) Did my share of weekend housework (DH and I each do an hour a day)

2) Took dog for a walk yesterday... Probably not today because it's cold again and I'm over it

3) Finished up my budget spreadsheet. Going old school because I find it so much easier to see where the money goes when plugging each transaction in rather than using a program that just imports all of them

[alayne926]

1. Washed the sheets and remade the bed.

2. Have washed and folded AND put away three (almost 4) loads of laundry.

3. Cleaned one out of two upstairs bathrooms.

[laurenlou83]

1. Cleaned the house: vacuum, mop, scrubbed bathrooms, dusted, you name it. The in-laws came to visit. Visitors = cleaning madness

2. Did 4 loads of laundry: clothes, sheets and towels

3. Grocery shopped this morning and ran to Lowe's for a few things.

[bruunk]

Uh... I went on a 3 miles hike with my nephew, Uncle, and cousin and had a game night with friends, and then did food deliveries to the hung over people today. The rest of the weekend will be sleeping and eating. I'm so freaking tired :/

Totally feel your pain...I have a black lab cross with a great pyr and I have no idea how she isn't bald.  I swear I could make a new dog from the amount of fun on my carpet right now.

[tiffbot]

1. Made cupcakes for my brother's birthday

2. Spent some time with my family at the farm for brother's birthday

3. On the way home now and going to set some stuff up and organize more in DS's new room. I guess that really means he's not a baby anymore!

[nettje]

Let's see... I have to try to remember the whole weekend. I have a short memory as of late...

-shopping at Costco on Friday
-cleaned the house yesterday as we had guests over for dinner
-laundry (although that's not the most productive as I'm still working on it - really I'm ignoring it right now)

[maddib]

Ugh I have so much to do and I just don't want to and can't do it. Taking care of DD has made it impossible to do anything. I hate walking through my house right now.. It's so cluttered. And tomorrow when I gets a nurse I have so much other crap that needs to be done. I have one more car to legalize and damn I don't want to drive the 35 min away just to find out I forgot something..

[nicolec78]

-registered at Target to get my $20 gift card and gift bag. My DH and I got to go out to dinner by ourselves afterwards
-cleaned the house
-my sister,Bil and nieces came over
-ran some errands
I am being super lazy today. Woke up in the middle of the night with terrible acid reflux even though I am on I take a prescription for it. Thankfully my DH took care of things while I slept all afternoon and is now doing the grocery shopping. Still feel like crap!

[kemdupuis]

-ran errands with DH all day yesterday. This included picking up our crib, a Costco run, stops at Home Depot and a few different baby stores.

-set up the crib, installed shelving in LO's closet, installed curtains and tiebacks, helped DH install a shelving unit/organizer in one of our kitchen cabinets to hold the pots and pans.

-made a homemade Veggie lasagna for dinner tonight. This is a huge accomplishment because I haven't really cooked in weeks.

The list of things I should have gotten done, but didn't? Way too long. I needed to clean the house and do laundry today, but that hasn't happened yet. I've also got to write out a few thank you cards and pay bills. I need to pack for my trip and get groceries so DH doesn't starve... Ugh. It never ends!

ETA: tiebacks was autocorrected to "toenails" haha

[wifedeangel]

Reading all your lists make me feel like a super slacker. I did clean the bathroom yesterday, but I honestly can't think of another "productive" thing I've done all weekend. Saturday I played wih DD in yard for a few hours, and today we all wandered around our favorite discount store for a while. In between we've watched a few movies and napped. I guess Monday better be productive!

[littlemissgrump]

I had a fairly productive weekend;
1) Cleaned the living room
2) Finished my care profile
3) Took a shower
4) I had to work on Sat

[mcp6286]

1. Finished my hw from my K-3rd grade Reading class. The teacher makes the entire class WAY more difficult than it needs to be, so 90% of the work comes from figuring out what the assignments mean.

2. Finished my hw from my ESL class, which I love.

3. Did my lesson plans for school this week.

4. Did 3 loads of laundry!

5. Wrote and mailed all the thank-you cards from my baby shower.

Go me!

[txngrl31]

1. IKEA and Target (or as I like to call it Tar-jaay) trips. IKEA on a Saturday is not ideal, especially being pregnant.

2. Cleaned a bit, grocery shopped and cooked: last night- ground beef enchiladas; tonight- chicken stuffed peppers. Can you tell I'm craving spicy food?

3. I was able to fit in an arm and leg work out followed by 15 minutes of cardio today.

[amber311]

Cleaned the basement. When I say cleaned...I mean purged so much crap we filled 2 dumpsters. Hallelujah. Now onto the rest of the house

We have to do that. It always feels good to get rid of stuff.

[leenziepops]

Ummmmm..... this is harder than I thought.
1) Cooked a healthy dinner last night - atlantic salmon and fresh salad with some roast potatoes
2) built the cot dammit .... Cleaned out the junk shelf in the hallway cupboard. Everyone has a junk drawer or shelf. Finally got around to putting the little bits and pieces into organised boxes.
3) did a load of laundry AND folded them in the SAME day!

[missjenniebean]

I planted some seeds too!
Reading a npr book...

....and that's about it.

The thought of watching that particular part of that show makes me want to vomit. And I liked the show, really, but it was hard to watch in places.

I'm so jealous that you folded laundry the day you did it! I have a bag of clean laundry that I haven't folded yet and it's been almost two weeks. Instead I just go into it and take out what I need.
