back to dailies of doing one load of laundry a day washing
vote

phone calls: insurance, mammogram, thyroid test


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
- 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 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 ),
clean dishes in the dw for 2 days (gone ),
dirty stove top done not great ,
counters need a thorough cleaning (half way presentable cleaning done )
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

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)

[blessedw2]

my thanksgiving Focus for today:
clean the next shelf up in the refrigerator

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
(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

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

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

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