I'm already doing it on my own!

Before I get to "play" ~ reading a book, watching a movie, scrapping . . . I have to complete a single task or a series of tasks. Then I play for a while and then I have more task time. And I'm always rushing through the tasks so I can get to the fun bits.

I'd love to give this a try. Every time Kelleigh does one I'm nursing Hudson down for his nap (and he sleeps in my lap, so no change after he's asleep) but he's not sleeping for now, so I'd love to jump in!

I'm also working on my "getting my life in order" goal for the week...and need to collect everything I need to get our taxes done...so I really need this. And I love external motivation!!

So yeah, count me in :cleaning:

I even bought a new mop last night :giggle: so I should give it a try!!

I got dishes done, counters washed down and non-kitchen things collected to be put in their homes.

And Bekah threw all of Hudson's snack food all over the dining room floor. :evil:

It's hard to keep motivated to clean if the kids are going to undo more than I can do!! (I made her put them away, but still.)

I'm pleased that the kitchen is in better shape now, though :D

I'm sick, and basically confined to my big chair right now (LOL, doesn't that sound like an excuse?) but I'm looking at being better soon, and sooooo eager to start cleaning up all the clutter that everyone has left lying around over the last few years, lol. Wanna come help me, Pam? :D

I know what you mean, Jane. I'm not sick, but if I'm at the computer it's because I'm holding/nursing Hudson, so I can't get up and clean very easily. I feel like I'm just making excuses, but this is not an easy time for me....

I so badly want to get my house in order, though!!
