october 16, 2012 tuesday.

Today is focus day for me: which means kitchen (don't let my excitement overwhelm you).

truth be told: I didn't finish the counters done , sink floor, and table after cooking - I just have a few dishes as I washed as I cooked washing .
Dd had her french chat group yesterday and she had such a good time but it took from 5:30 to almost 9:15 if you include driving.

So today: move the refrigerator and clean behind it.

October 17, 2012 Wednesday

it was 4:45 when I woke up
that is a shocker - this always happens at this time of the year - I love the cooler mornings

I have a hot spot that I have NOT touched yet have looked at for over 2 weeks. (one chair in the dining room - dh took my clean laundry i had ready to go upstairs and put it on the chair - do you think I would have put it away? NO. Then the cat (old shedding one) laid on it. I look at it every morning knowing I have to take the one shirt to the cleaners again and wash the remaining... the rest of the dining room has been clean and there it is. Sheesh if I would have put it away right away I wouldn't have to deal with it. I think it is beginning to look normal for all of us but each day I pass it I think "I have to take care of that".

12:07 back from picking up dd after tests at school
I took a nap this morning before picking her up.


dh asked me to make a quiche for his dmom tomorrow for Friday.

Remember BELIEVE I CAN DO THE WORK!!!

1. put away from lunch dishwasher emptied, few things put in there, cleaned sink, counter cleaned. found fresh green beans at the store so bought a bag and cooked it right away - now cooling. I want more veggies in our diet. cabbage is cooking now
1:32 pm first a break (feel like a "I don't wanna" coming on; but it feels like there is SO much to do and I want my home like my and dh dfamily.)
2. clean up hot spots in dining room I thought it would take forever to do the chair laundry (5 minutes ) the table took longer as it was filled with dh and my stuff (papers) but done, did a magazine and recipe dejunking
3. clean hot spot from kitchen
4. clean out the hugest hot spot - my car!

ask me how long my vacuum cleaners and broom have been in the kitchen - don't ask as they are still there
3:53 pm
also need to plant new basil in pots for front window

Both p/c's are down at home checking in @ the lib.
one Tv is down as well sigh
I'll be absent for who knows how long.
Waving to you wishing every one well.
Trying to get links so I can check in from time to time.

Oh no, Nancy! Hurry back!!

I agree with d elly ----- don't be gone for long d nancy

October 18, 2012 Thursday again
11 am hair dye
pick up dd (piano 3:30) pilates 5:00 pm (tomorrow meeting at school)

made a huge donation today:
cat litter (garbage day tomorrow) dh did
pet care which includes wash dog beds weekly, brush animals, check appointments or make appointments, clean cat litter

today is getting ready for garbage day

MAJOR HOT SPOT (Truth time: I took 10 bags of laundry including blankets to laundry mat and I am letting them do it ($ ) but it was stressing me out that I still have a day filled for doing things for myself and others). I still have sheets to change and wash, one blanket, dogs beds, and 1 basket to wash so you can see I was really over whelmed.

going to laundry mat as I know we can't catch up unless we give our life up to the laundry for the next 2 days...
I now realize:

1. my children have too many cloths, I have to wash on a daily basis using the weekly plan, i.e. monday whites etc.
2 wash sheets and blankets immediately and put away
3. bring hangers down after use
4. set up a nice laundry area (not too many baskets - baskets multiply and only make me want to not put things away or store things in plain sight)
5. when a major project is happening - delegate and expect the help (don't be a victim - "oh no one helps me " I never got that bad (well not many times in my life ) but looked more like this
6. I have too much stuff. I have cloths that are one size down that I haven't been able to fit into for years and it IS depressing to keep it. So I am thinking it's time to live at my size in my closet rather then wishes.

donation time 12:45 (hair is dyed) so I will go through my closet and see what doesn't fit and donate - nice or not
proud moment: dh is donating a bunch of shirts
1:48 pm. it is soon time to pick up dd and take her to piano. (so bring music she said she forgot in her bag)
ended up resting all evening. mmmm
