3 x 15
I put the laundry (whites) away
put laundry's upstairs for dh/dd to put away
(I am trying that thinking - "you're laundry isn't put folded/hung it isn't done" I am notorious for not putting away - and I feel like I finished by just washing them, drying them, folding them and putting them in our bedroom (it just leads to piles of clean laundry that we rummage through). I still (over 2 weeks - have dd's sheets on our church bench - everyone knows it's there but it has become of our vision)
surface vacuumed through first floor
swiffer rinsed surface-ly kitchen and front door
dh washed his breakfast dishes (yay) This was one of my "how's that working for you" - it didn't (I could have 5 egg dishes after 5 days of his) - I started just doing it and now he is trying to keep the sink empty. (for how long ??? I don't know but I am very grateful) He didn't say but I am pretty sure he saw it as nagging.
listening to flylady cat re: routines as I work. I needed something that kept me focused.
check other dailies
Morning routines done making sure the kitchen is clean at night has really helped me with the morning.
washing towels. I pulled dogs bedding to be washed - thats next
trying to figure out a habit that dh keeps doing (his sweet mom and sweet dad was like this too)- they believe it's best to put it somewhere just to get it out of sight which leads to clutter inside everywhere and having multiples. example: I went under sink and there were a bunch of cleansers that dh took from the closet in the basement - he tossed them in there (even the empty ones) - cleaning supplies are on the shelf in the laundry room - dh doesn't realize how many of things he has. He is constantly hiding stuff in so many multiple places - his area then is clean but my areas get filled. I am just taking it out and putting it where it belongs and mention it to him but this is constant. My closet side is getting buried by his stuff. If he wasn't such a good man (95% of the time lol
)I would complain to him. I have to find a positive way to dealing with this. It might end up on the "hows that working for you card"
hi d lady and d kathryn and all!
Truth instead of thorough cleaning in bathrooms I am just going to do a slip shod surface thing. I have missed 2 x's (2 weeks) of bathroom Tuesday. I missed February 6 and February 13 (next time is February 20) I can't miss 3 because it makes it so hard. I have been trying that pam and peggy thing where if you see it (small thing) just do it after their d mom swiped a smudge that they had put off until that "perfect zone cleaning time" - it took her two seconds. I saw that on our french door going to the dining room from the kitchen - hand and dogs prints - it took a couple minutes to just get those off.
I make the work so hard when it doesn't need to be.
Hot spot I see: shoes at front door
and vacuum rug there
s2s (instead of junk cloths)
with a bit of perfume, meds myself and the animals
swiped a smudge again
lunch done
dh is swiping his bathroom - I know he can't see it - but the fact that he is doing it is nice.
not going on social media is hard
I didn't realize how mindless, for me, it is
next: work on photos and in between (do 15 minutes in upstairs bedroom where closet stuff is) prep for dinner tonight [/b]
