November 19, 2008

errands only one done
chore turned to obsession when I tried to find old pictues I lost

weeklies: (I am going on 2 weeks of not doing weeklies and it shows, the floors are pitiful) but I need to focus and finish this project and my bill day is tomorrow and I just can't put that off any longer. So weeklies go to next week again.

dailies all but sweep and vacuum floors not done, oh yes and make beds..not done either.

paper taming...actually got a lot done!

Hi - still not far enough along on my regular-files papertaming to reward myself with cardfile re-do, but it's coming.

My Evening Daily Card also includes any put-away I can do on laundry, blessed. That means check drip-dries to see if anything is ready, check dryer in case anything was left there tumbling that's ready for folding and put-away. It also includes a general pick-up through the front part of the house. Although I don't have "feed pets" on the card, that is often done at the same time. One thing I do have on the card is to double check the other daily cards and do what's on them if I've neglected it!!! LOL

Good morning Harriet, hoping your dd feels not so itchy any more! feel better sweet dd10!

Harriet great job on paper taming!!!!
I have started making sure the laundry I do during the day gets put away, it's amazing how nice it is to wake up in the morning and not see laundry on the dining room table! thank you for the great suggestion. dh has even gotten in the habit of getting his dishes (he drinks coffee and leaves his cup in the garage on his way out ;) ) without asking! now to get dkids in that habit. 8-) truth be told I don't have an evening card, but you can bet I will be making one up today.
What a difference it makes to do just those small things so everyone can start the day just right (especially me :D )
thank you!!!
Have a great day dharriet, and really hoping your dd10 feels better fast!

Friday

clean fridge
papertaming
3 DPC re: bank; med; purchase
hotspots
exercise
time at my parents/housework/files
sewing if possible
be sure to have more veggies

call ds23and dstepson31 about TDay

About my evening daily card - remember, that laundry part is a "have-to" for me, so don't give me too much credit! Because of the layout of my kitchen with no divider or screening for washer/dryer, I must keep up a one-day-one-laundry-load lifestyle and go from start to finish on each load without leaving any trace around. One wall of my kitchen goes (right to left): counter, sink, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer. Having laundry out when mealtime comes around would be a real downer for me - it would take the house from acceptable to yuck in a minute.

Happy Refridgerator day Harriet! and a great good morning to you.
I know you said you have to, but I can remember many years when my must do's just looked at me with out any work done. But you do it!!! It really has been an inspiration for me and a blessing. even if I am exhausted I feel like I have someone wonderful to work with and focus on getting it done. What's so weird is that my laundry no longer gets bigger then one basket as it is continually getting done. the clean laundry is building in dd's rooms but thats their responsiblity. :P , but in the house, there aren't loads of clean laundry waiting for people to put away. my laundry responsiblities are all gone by night, what a difference a little thing like that can make.

hope you can sew today! have a super day. Happy refridgerator day again. It's lots of fun working with you.

November 22, (wow can't believe that).

Hello all.
today we are hoping to go to the disney lights parade downtown (the magnificent mile)
I do have to be frugal when we are down there, I used to do things that would put at risk of going into debt and I have promised myself not to use my credit cards to have fun. Kids will adjust. financial stability is worth more then a day of expensive fun you can't afford.

remember camera
goals see the activities from the parade,
see the state street windows and the tree at macy's
see the tree at daley center
see maybe the freedom museum or go to millenium park to see the skaters.

now: dailies I couldn't do yesterday, sweep up all (I mean lots) of scraps under the dining room table

Dailies:s2s
fill dw :D
wash dishes not enough dishes at night to put on as we ate out. love that :D
empty dw :D
find all dishes everywhere :D
do at least one load laundry and put away right away I find this a hard one
wash :D
dry: :D
put away :D
bring all dirty laundry downstairs (really helps) :D
find garbage thru house upstairs
toss one thing from refrig. if necessary :D
wipe some finger prints :D
find recycling and give to dh :D
sweep family room vacuum
sweep kitchen floor is filthy .
brush dogs for dd13
walk dogs or play with dogs
clean stove not great but good enough
clean sink :D
clean counters :D
table :D
make beds

8:57 am dining room picked up, not a clean floor (dog hair again...) but can't worry about that today.
10:46 more dailies done, doesn't mean the floors look good, with all the dog hair grumble grumble how is that possible, it has been three days since I vacummed.

next make beds, dd13 is taking a shower and dh is getting me money for today. I need to get gas.
it is always a joy to be here with you!
