November 6, 2012

today's goals:
go to local shop to pick up dsil gift for thanksgiving went but couldn't find anything but dh had a great time which makes me happy. :D
thanksgiving step by step: clean bottom shelf in fridge and cover with saran wrap or cover. :D I am experimenting with a friends suggestion (3 large shelves left)
add to my Christmas list of presents for others etc.
back to dailies of doing one load of laundry a day :D washing
vote :D

phone calls: insurance, mammogram, thyroid test :arrow:


today.... ah today. wait I should be growling at the day and the clutter in my home.(I love that fierce)

looking at my home: sigh is the only thing I can say. The clutter is fighting back at me. Armed with apron, trash bag and broom I plan on entering the clutter jungle that is my home right now.

What I am looking at today: (trying to not look at the big picture but break it into workable parts

kitchen wow done for now :D
- the floor is still filled with cooking over the weekend... (not literally all over but it's really bad - onion is stuck to the floor :oops: and I haven't gotten to sweeping let alone rinsing the floor)
all the dishes are done but are sitting on the side of sink (gone :D ),
clean dishes in the dw for 2 days (gone :D ),
dirty stove top done not great ;) ,
counters need a thorough cleaning (half way presentable cleaning done :D )
the kitchen as a whole feels still a little yucky. I think the floor needs a really good washing

family room... at least an hours worth of work

dogs room - I can't even go there

dd olders room is better than mine. (doesn't say much) and more

HOW CAN CLUTTER TAKE OVER SO FAST :o

blessed, maybe a weekly card for one time of touching base with those relatives per week? You could have a post-it note of a few things you'd like to do over the next few weeks, changing it when necessary, and do one at a time.

I like that dharriet... I have about 4 families and relatives for visiting that I can put on the card and switch every week and make a sticky note. I think a card with the writing ones might be a good idea as well. Thanks (my mind was complicating it so I couldn't focus on what I needed to do)

Saturday put lights outside

todays "getting out of clutter card"
from yesterday:
dh will bring misc. bags he has collected (probably from my car over the months) bags gone through and dejunked and in process of put away :D
(dh tends to collect things in one container instead of separating them where they belong... but got to love him... a good man - suggested the box of put away but dh doesn't see it as clutter)

house: sweep under couch in family room and declutter a bit family room :D

laundry as the day goes.
put away in my bedroom: :oops: I have had clean laundry in a basket for over a week, dirty laundry for 2 weeks :arrow: in another basket

creative: thanksgiving picture for front window - soon to work on art for Christmas.

called on insurance card :D : must wait on mammogram until card comes in :arrow:
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

Put and x behind the name after you do and rotate as needed.
