Well, it's 8pm here, but here's my list for tomorrow...

~ Dust skirting boards around the house - it's been A LONG time since they've been done and I'm noticing it
~ Dust!

Today I plan to:
1. straighten the living room in preparation for a deep clean later in the week done thanks to help from dd
2. organize/sort DD's toys and get them put away done
3. clean up my baby stuff from storage nope-- napped too long
4. wash matress pads/finish laundry nope, that's for today
5. deep clean kitchen today as well

I did, however, wash the vent/fan covers which were super grimy, finish up the week's laundry, make chicken stock and peach jam, grocery shop, get dd ready for the week, and get in two very much needed naps.

My list today is pretty easy, so I should be able to finish no porblem if I don't slack off...

-laundry, about 3 loads left (I don't do laundry every day, I'm a laundry slacker)
-iron dh some work shirts & help him get packed for a business trip
-meal plan for the next few days and food shop
-sweep & mop the floors
-declutter & gut kitchen cupboards and pantry of anything we don't NEED

These will have to get done in breaks from the football games...

1. Finish cleaning up living room and dust/vacuum Done
2. Put away all clean laundry in the laundry room
3. Sweep/mop laundry room
4. Sweep/mop entryway and hall Done
5. Clean out front closet

I only got those two things completely done- the rest I am still working on. I did a few loads of laundry and put them away, I just didn't work on what was already in there. That will have to be my goal tonight.

Getting things done today will be a trick, as we have church, a family bday party, and I am not feeling well. But I want to get on with it, so...


1) Finish laundry

2) start another batch of apple butter

3) Pull up foam mats and clean/wash playroom floor

4) Tidy up my craft shelves in the playroom

5) Get organized so I can start the Saxon Math for K. curriculum with ds and his friends tomorrow (I do home childcare)

6) Set up the sensory table with rice.

Can I do six things? Better get started!

Ive been busy! i started with cleaning the back porch (not on my list but should have been) then i deodorized the living room rug and cleaned all the toys out of the living room then i cleaned the light. After I took a shower put the kids clothes away and organized their drawers AGAIN. Then I cleaned the bathroom sink and threw in some laundry.

4. wash matress pads and accompanying sheets Done!
5. prep food for the week's menus pinto beans cooked, packaged and put away

So far I just have down cardboard and grass clippings, I'm going to put mulch on top of that.

The only thing I got done off of my list yesterday was dishes, so I get to start all over today
