I am back to brag about all I accomplished today.
* I vacuumed the hallway, living and dining rooms today, and did the edges of the kitchen where all the crumbs collect.
* I finished laundry, folded it all, and the kids and Rob are putting away their laundry after dinner. Mine won't take long to put away tonight, and even the laundry from the camper is done and ready to be packed up in there for the winter.
*I vacuumed the basement stairs and the family room.
* I dusted the basement bath and family room.
* I cleaned some random stuff off the kitchen counter and put it away.
* I loaded and ran the dishwasher.
* I cleaned the upstairs bathroom (with the exception of the floor).
* I cleaned the basement bathroom.
* I cleaned out 2 plastic drawers in the vacuum closet. One had mostly light bulbs and batteries in it. Since we've gone to the compact fluorescents we didn't need most of the bulbs. I am donating them to our church rummage sale.
* In the process of cleaning out the second drawer (which contained mostly tealight candles and potpourri) I found quite a few candles that I was given as gifts that I never burned because I wasn't fond of the scent. Duh. Why did I keep them this long? To the rummage sale.
* In the laundry process I removed multiple summer clothing items from Spencer's possession. He had outgrown them but still was insisting they fit. Again, off to the sale they will go.
* I organized a shelf in the laundry room that holds extra dry and canned goods.
Tomorrow I am going to do something FUN in my free time. And I will really enjoy it because I know I've earned it. I love a clean house!

Would a "fun" activity involve helping me organize my house???
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous.
Way to go! That's a ton of stuff done!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I know what you mean about the candles! Maybe I should bring some stuff to your church rummage sale too!
Wow! Just reading this gives me inspiration to get up and start something! Like maybe the 15 loads of laundry waiting for me to fold and put away. I'll always remember what Susan said about laundry, I term it homemaker theology..."Laundry is like God's love for us, it's always there and never ends."
