Today is the first day of the rest of your Focus Cleaning Schedule! Check out "Focus - Getting Started", and the new week's thread, in the Organization and Simplification Tools forum to join in our Second Round of 2013. Back to Porch and Entry this week. Does your entryway need attention?
My household story is back-to-school intensity. This is mid-term exam week, project week, make-up week, etc. And dd has promised some extra-curricular time as well, so I don't know how that will work yet. Dd couldn't give much time to school work over the weekend, so every evening this week will need to be heavy on the concentration. I'm glad some shopping, etc. was gotten out of the way. If I do have errands HRH can't handle, I'll be doing them alone and not taking so much as a minute from dd.
