Here's a link to a household chores chart from post war Britain.

For those of us watching Downton Abbey, or more accurately, Upstairs/Downstairs, it gives examples of how to run a household without staff since the women of that day, didn't know what to do.

And yes, I got distracted. I've also lost a bottle of blueberry/pomegranate soda water. Somewhere. No idea where but I took it out of the fridge, noted it was 2/3 full, put it down and haven't seen it since. On the other hand, I've done stairs a dozen times looking for it. And my knees haven't hurt!

Hi again! I have had dinner and Bible study at church. We have homework again. I did pick up the medicine afterwards. Since I have been home, I have done a LOL, unloaded/loaded dishwasher, taken care of cats and myself, and fixed tomorrow's lunch. Now I will do some work on dNiece's doll dress while watching a mindless video. An end is in sight on that project. Maybe done in a week. I will keep it until I have had a chance to show it off at the knit/crochet group on Saturday. I will also take pictures and post them to Ravelry and here. But first, gotta get it done.

Oh, I love the chart, Kathryn! Why, oh why, can't I maintain a schedule of some sort???

Hmmm... I notice there was no place on the chart for
* surfing Internet
* teaching school
* getting dmom's mail
* talking endlessly to dmom on phone
* going to Subway for dmil
* filling up the car

Oh well. My ta-da's for the day:
* NO COMPUTER until after s2s (which meant I didn't get to tell you ladies 'good morning'!)
* Busy, hectic day @ school
* Called phone company & newspaper on dparents' behalf
* Stayed & school till 4:30
* Got dmil's mail
* Visited dmil w/dh
* Went to Subway for dmil
* Went to dparents' house to check mail
* Ate supper
* Filled up car w/dh
* Home
* Talked to dmom on phone
* Did schoolwork
* Vacuumed for one full hour...
:evil: and only did floors in kitchen, laundry room, dining room, guest bath, den, hallway, and computer room. ALso did all furniture surfaces in den. Still need to get master bath & bedroom floors at least, before I put vacuum away. That still leaves study, ds's old room, guest room & bath. Those will NOT get done tonight.
:? I think I would like to move into the woods, like Thoreau.

OKay -- how does this habit thing work? I looked at your link, but could only see the message for today. I was looking for a "how to get started" kind of page.

(((Harmony))) I am so sorry you caught dh's bug! Get well soon!

Hmmm... I think I can do the chair trick right, Kathryn, but I lose my balance as soon as I'm "standing."

Waving to all. Hope y'all have a great night and a good day tomorrow!
