Basic Weekly Plans

[blessedw2]

I honestly would know how other women do it - I watch the garden answer you-tube channel; the sweet woman that does that show has a beautiful home and garden. how is it possible - I just can't seem to get there even though I know i am working.

oh well. dh is cleaning his bathroom

I transplanted plants
watered and put some plants outside to harden a bit.
I am out of seed starting soil - surprising!
I will order them

I haven't done my morning routine but I exercised.

dishes and sink and counters
rinsed floor in kitchen again

need to let dog out again
and wash her paws

animal care: clean out cat litter and pick up dog stuff
clean off kitchen table.

I know what you mean, blessed. I seem to be just spinning my wheels.

I Know!

I am trying to be more understanding today that I am trying. I just get frustrated.
I did work in the garden 3 hours yesterday which was great for me.
kitchen - oh well - I am doing dishes daily, dinner daily, counters daily etc , but it never looks better - it feels cluttered - we have enough provisions so I feel that may be okay.
bathrooms haven't been done all week
kitchen floor and laundry room floor - oh my gosh - d dog is full of mud and I can't wash her feet outside yet. (hose connection - water is freezing for this old dog) Also she does not stand well so I can't just lift one paw and wash and then the other.

I think I have to change my attitude. I know what I am making for dinner. stuffed red peppers, tomato salad, fruit - strawberries

[blessedw2]

okay I am starting
trying to give myself grace

1 make the bread for tonight
clean the kitchen
bathrooms today

Menu plan done

the whole morning has been crazy. I haven't gone outside yet to work
kitten has been very very needy - same with old dog

all bills done - everything else is auto

[Twins' Mom]

Glad you're still here, bw2. Some days I'm so distracted I work a little on this, a little on that...
