Happy for you!

I did tons of baking and NO cooking. Will get to that tomorrow or Monday. I feel very much on schedule bh!

I like cooking on yom tov so I didn't plan on doing it all before at all.

When you’re done, come over to my house. I’ll treat you to a massage and a sound session.
I’m your next door neighbor.

Alternatively, you can come over to my house where you can help me start my Pesach cleaning to be sure to be done before bedikas chometz. I cook only Monday.

I’m your other next door neighbor.

Kidding aside, I’m very happy for you. It feels so good to be on schedule!

I’m very proud of myself because I didn’t yell at my kids tonight, not even once!

My house was turned over last Monday. All my mains are cooked for the seder and first day lunch and some chol hamoed dinners. Desserts are baked.
Today is all the side dishes, soup, and seder stuff.
I'm really calm and I'm happy that I'm ahead of the game.

We half flipped last night… still have to kasher sinks, but got everything taken out, and toiveled/put away. We’re out for Seder so I just have to cook for YT day, which means another shopping trip…

All in all, I feel like we’re in a good place!

We kashered and covered the kitchen (didn't 100% finish lining the fridge), checked the salt, made the sugar water, hard boiled 60 eggs, fried 10lb of onions, made two batches of applesauce, and cracked a gazillion nuts.

My plan is to finish the fridge tomorrow, boil another 60 eggs, check all the lettuce (12 heads), make lemon juice, ices, potato kugels and sweet potato pies. Plus finish cleaning before the bedikah!

All of the Yom Tov menu cooking I'll do Erev Yom Tov.

I think we'll be ok!

13 people, probably a few guests. We eat them straight, plus at the seder. I'm expecting to finish them by the end of Chol Hamoed.

I WAS ahead of schedule.

Then my toddler started vomiting all night and now 3 Beds need to be stripped and washed from top to bottom, each duvet needs a separate load…. And I run on 3 hours of sleep, and I’m thinking if I should spend the busiest day of the year in the doctor’s waiting room.

G-d is laughing at me Crying

Oy, I'm sorry.
I woke up with a headache and bad case of vertigo, probably from stress. Still things to do though so I'm hoping dh will pitch in a bit here for the tedious jobs like vacuuming floors and helping with the baby.

So bh I went away for Shabbos hagadol and decided to stay till Sunday noon to keep my house ready for bedikas chometz, and give my kids chometz to eat in peace.

I do have a whole list of cooking that still needs to be done fresh, and am assuming so does OP…but I’m feeling in control at the moment…
Things may change though lol!

Same. My little girl has fever, was planning on shopping for myself today. Besides going to sit by doctor, she's cranky and I don't know how I will shop like that. She was supposed to go out with someone else, but now I can't send her.
