Wow, you'll be a busy Mari!!! LOL You can do it!!!

[jacinda]

Goodness Mari, that's my cleaning plan for a whole month! My focus this week is the master bedroom and bathroom. I've already cleaned the windows this morning, and changed the sheets and cleaned the bathroom on Monday, so all there really is to do now is vacuum under the bed and retidy the closet.

Love it, Mari!!
I've been working hard on my house (last week's "get my life in order" really helped) and it's looking good, but now I'm going to work on the things that just never get done since I'm usually behind on the basics.

So here's my list:

Kitchen:
organize pantry (partway done)
go through fridge and throw out expired food
wash fridge shelves and drawers (one done)
mop floor
wash dishwasher
wash coffee pot
clean surfaces of coffee cupboard

Bathroom
sweep and mop
scrub tub and walls
dust
sink, toilet and mirror

Hallway
French door windows washed
clean mirror
sweep and mop floor
vacuum steps

Bedrooms
girls' toys and clothes away

Dining Room and Living Room
organize kids' books
clean out baskets next to DVD player
clean out magazines and books
make shelves look nicer
send broken shelf to work with DH to fix??


I'm sure I'll find more as I do these jobs but it's awesome to have new goals :good: We can do it!!

[heathert]

Oh my word, my eyes are crossing just looking at that list (and comparing it with my own house *sigh*). I HATE CLEANING. Just like sleeping. Major waste of time, in my opinion. Of course it needs to be done, and I do it, but rebelling the whole way!!! *lol*

[mzkellyb]

This was my goal over the weekend and the beginning of the week since my boys are out of school for the week and I don't have to watch the clock.

Here's what I'm hoping to get accomplished the rest of the week:

• Find a donation place that will come pick up.
• Break down boxes in garage and put out for recycling on Weds night.
• Clean all 3 bathrooms.
• Wipe down fridge shelves.
• Clean up kids closet.
• Go through linen closet.
• Vacuum upstairs.


Will update the rest of my list later ... kids are being needy right now ;)

Same here...I always clean and there are the little things that pile up until they become BIG things!!! lol! Oh and I will have lots of stuff to donate too this week! I just really almost never make time for the house other than keeping it clean if you KWIM?:wink:

Oh and forgot to add it...

We CAN DO IT!!! We CAN DO IT!!! LOL!

[Charla]

Yes!!

:cheerleader:

[MariKoegelenberg]

Okay I have not done much the past few days...I had a huge headache yesterday and today my dd was home again with pink eyes!!! :blink::blink::blink: Nooo! lol! But I am not losing hope!

[Charla]

:hug: That's rough! Hope you're all healthy again soon!

I hurt my finger this morning (not badly, but enough to slow me down) so I'm not getting far on my list either.

[MariKoegelenberg]

:giggle: Oh man...thats a bummer!!!

[mzkellyb]

The only thing I got crossed off my [short] list was to clean the bathrooms. It might just have to carry into next week. lol

[jacinda]

OK, here's the list of things I need to get done this weekend. Red means done.

Scrapping
Church Service Project on Saturday Morning
Attend a baptism
Type up Presidency Meeting Minutes
Type up job descriptions for our Relief Society Board Members
Design the Visiting Teaching Handout for March
Do some exercise
Create this weeks 365 pages
Put together the Relief Society Newsletter for March

[jacinda]

Woohoo, I'm making progress. Still slower than I should be though. Boy I can't believe how badly I get distracted browsing the forums.

[Charla]

That's fantastic! My eyes got really wide when I saw all the red, until I remembered it's not Saturday MORNING for you right now. You've had a head start on the weekend :giggle:

I'll get my list done next week. :D

[jacinda]

Yay! I've done everything I wanted to do this weekend! Amazing how much you get done when the kids are away at their grandparents. They're not due back for another 24hrs though, so I have Monday allllllllllllllllll to myself, and all I have planned is a little house cleaning in the morning. Party at my house! :rockon:

[MariKoegelenberg]

Oh Jacinda!!! That is fabulous! Enjoy your very hard earned day of LEISURE!!! :giggle:

ETA I need to come back and do some adjustments to my schedule and do a new one for this week!

[Charla]

I'm so jealous, Jacinda! Someday I'll have to do that too!
(okay, how completely pathetic is it to long for a weekend alone to get CLEANING done?!?!?!! :rotfl:)

Yeah, I need a new list too. Most of last week's list plus new stuff....
