SHEs Organized

Happy Sunday Morning. I have a gathering today.
So I have to leave at noon

We had the most beautiful sunrise this morning.

I am taking today at a slow pace even though I still have so much to do. This week the goal is to do room by room weekly cleaning and some monthlies and decorate.

timer ready but planning on a slow sweet Sunday (thank you d Book)
rinsed inside of stove without spray - dh really wanted me to use chemicals but I can't take them and I can't imagine them being that great for the environment
cleaned outside of stove front
cleaned microwave
tossed old food in fridge
cleaned out coffee cup shelf - tossed unnecessary things

listening to German traditional Christmas music with the church bells... I am trying to find a good french Christmas album but I haven't found one here in the states - then a little Alsatian musique and Mumford and sons.

I had a lovely lovely day with family and tonight watched the Librarians

what still needs doing:
wash the other 1/2 of the kitchen floor by hand
put a lock on meds that dd's worry the dogs will get to.
make meals for Christmas week.

I Have decided that I need to vacuum and surface rinse floor in kitchen daily until after Christmas to keep dogs at bay

Still working on leaf removal here.

Happy leaf removal D Nancy!!!

it's a rainy and icy day today but I don't mind one bit!
Happy Monday. I looked back over the week from last Monday and I can see I got a lot done on my temporary 3 x 5's.

today is bathroom day and laundry room/dog day.

I took out an apple pie from the freezer that dd older had made - I had it on the counter this morning and not so dear big dogs ate the center of it (leaving it on the counter- how - I don't know.)

7:30 am and ready to start... slowly
well it is already 8:38 am and the only thing I did is go to starbucks and came back.
my computer is running sl o w w w w

some of my decorations are up. and they look lovely
11:05 time to go back to work (also time for dh to go do something else lol)
12:07 pm dh is driving me crazy (love him dearly but he needs to go out of the house for my sake) ... he is not necessarily working but fiddling around here and
there.

dd older cleaned the fridge and went grocery shopping for me
4:42 pm I ran one errand
washed family room floor, cleaned fireplace and door, dusted family room
cleaned out drawers in family room

kitchen looks lovely and festive and temporarily really clean - only thing left is washing the floor well again and then maintenance (dogs spilt their water all over the floor while chasing each other with a ball - the water mixed in with the greenery shedding of the Merry Christmas wreaths I was hanging. I was hanging - all wiped up but the floor needs to dry before I can really wash it well)6:44 family room looks festive and clean

More leaf removal done warmer temps & sun made it nice.

I am so happy you got some more work done on the leaf pile and being blessed with sun as well makes the job more enjoyable D Nancy.
