Add me to the jealous list for that room, Y2, especially since it is perfect for numerous projects! You have cabinets, running water, countertops and a snack all in one place!

It could be woolite. Resolve is one I don't use much, though I can't remember why (I did have a reason for it though!)

I am feeling so much calmer.

A coworker called and lined up the home inspection.
My brother called and notified the townhouse association and set up a handyman appointment (get closet doors rehung type of thing).
Lori called my bank to make sure I wasn't going to bounce any checks with all these expenses.
And my friend Betsy from work is married to a landscapist who happens to adore me (not in that way, of course) and he is going to come and do my backyard this week and I can pay him later.

I'm in such a hurry because I can't make an offer on the house I want until mine is sold. That is why we are moving at lightning speed.

I have to get some KILZ paint from Lowe's tonight so I will see what they have in the carpet cleaning department.

Gracie, I don't know where dust comes from so quickly. Amazing, huh? And not in a good way!

Lowes carries only Kilz Primer. Wal Mart carries Kilz paint.

Grace, I absolutely love your Brahma bull! It looks Denmark, the one my grandpa had. It would look so nice in my also-going-to-be-remodeled living room. Heck, it would look nice in there now.

Escapee, according to the Lowes web site, it depends on the store. So mine might have more products. But maybe I should go to Walmart first anyway.

I didn't know that. I wonder if it's cheaper at either one place.

I was busy sorting stuff almost all day, but I found our binoculars which have been missing for over a year....I really need to set a schedule to sort EVERY closet at LEAST once a year.

Oh man, we need to have a clean your closet day a couple times a year and remind each other. They're so easy to ignore since you can shut the door and don't have to see what's in there.

I got pretty much nothing done today. I had four kids most the day, six for about an hour, and it was all I could do to keep up with them. We did a couple two minute tidy's (where they pick up and put away what they can in two minutes) but there was still one mess after the other. Tomorrow will be less hectic with two less kids and the little one back at her house and not mine.

*Monday and Tuesday's Missions*

Can you see the dust? Where does it come from so fast?

"Unseen in the dust where we rest are colonies of eight-legged relatives to spiders
and lobsters, mating, defecating and
gorging themselves on our cast-off skin." *Source*

That's a fun little article with lots of good information about dust. Not all of it is as revolting as the paragraph above.

Looks as if everyone is on a roll. Great job! Hooray for found binoculars! Hooray for helpers when we need them most!

Continued happy flying!

My goal for today is to get the carpet vacuumed and shampooed, the laundry finished and the dishes done.

This is actually my plan for the day:

4:30 - 5:30: Walmart for supplies and other household goods
5:45 - 7:00: Aerobics
7:30 - 9:00: laundry, dishes and carpet (with occasional breaks per Flylady!)
9:00: BED

Whether I will do this remains to be seen.

Hermi, it sure looks like a workable plan. Aerobics is a great idea right in the middle of it all, too. You need some time to energize. Let us know if it all goes according to schedule!

I am still hard at work emptying drawers and closets. I have one basket that I will do RIGHT NOW. (It only has 200 things in it, LOL) I'll try to be back in 1/2 hour.

Aieeeee Vee, I don't think I really wanted to know that!

Native-Texan, thanks. All the ceramic animals are handiwork done for my hubby. I did the eagle right after we got married.

Not only did I do a lot of work in the bedroom yesterday, but I got my dh to fix the closet door and the fan light that was beginning to become loose. I still had paperwork to do. It was a bit of catch-up since spending so much time at the hospital and doctor's appointments put me behind. I especially hate filling out forms and then having to redo them when a 'new and improved' mandatory form comes in the mail in the middle of a month's worth of form filling.

My nephews aren't coming over today which leaves me a few hours to get the house cleaned up before the kids get home.

I need to clean my bedroom so the missions are good this week. It's kinda funny, just this weekend we were out looking for new pillows but neither one of us found anything we liked so we put it off.

That stupid basket is now empty of the junk...just the stuff that DH and DS have to sort. I'll start on another basket after a cup of coffee....and the work goes on...and on...and on.

LOL, you guys are all doing great! Today I am doing computer work -- making a budget for 2007 (I plan on buying a house so I need to see where I am and what I can afford to pay) and filing my taxes. I think my housecleaning chore for the day is to mop the kitchen and bathroom (left over from yesterdays blessing).

I am lucky because I spent a lot of time de-clutttering my office last fall, not much else to do but keep up with it. I have a shredding box going as we speak to take anything that I don't need for taxes.

The large roll-top computer desk I'm using is nothing but a catch-all, and I'm thinking of getting rid of it. I don't like cleaning it and it's in the bedroom. Does anyone have a solution that is much smaller and still looks nice?

Grace, I'll take that roll-top desk off your hands if you would just kinda accidentally slip the bull into it.

ugrace, I am planning to purchase this desk, I think it is beautiful and it has a matching credenza that I can use for my filing. http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Oxford_Standard_Writing_Desk/
This site has lots of different kinds of desks and it seems to be nice stuff but inexpensive prices.

Here was my plan, with updates:

4:30 - 5:30: Walmart for supplies and other household goods (didn't happen, the "motivational speaker" we had to listen to this afternoon ran late)
5:45 - 7:00: Aerobics (done!)
7:30 - 9:00: laundry, dishes and carpet (with occasional breaks per Flylady!) (just got home and am getting ready to start my last load of laundry and then tackle the dishes. Clean the bathrooms in place of the carpet because I didn't get the supplies I need.)
9:00: BED (HA!)

How's it going for everyone else?

Dipo, pretty desk!

So the speaker wasn't very "motivational"?

The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft a-gley Translation: The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. And how! All the time in my experience.

Don't push too hard, go to bed at a decent hour. Do you do the clothes planning thing the night before?

Dipo, that desk really is very nice. I have enjoyed checking out that site.

LOL, Urgrace! So that was just a rhetorical question, eh?

Catch you all in the morning. I'm off for an early bedtime. Must be keeping Hermi's original hours.

Vee, not really, I just got redirected again today and am just getting back to this thread. Hermi, you did a pretty good job sticking to as much of your plan as you could. Thanks Dipo. There are several on that site that look like they might be just right for downsizing to. Sorry, NT, the bull belongs to my dh.
