Y2, on your own email or the one that you gave TVCH when you joined.

Serate, the kitchen looks great; the oven is simply fabulous!

Happy camping!

Dipo great idea!!!!! Neither of us thought it would be that big of a deal since the dw is in line with the cupboards, but now all we can say is how a black one would look in there. I'll check it out, THANKS!

Serate your kitchen looks great! And yay Dipo on finishing the unpacking!

This week has been one of those wacky ones. With the exception of today, my nephew has been here every day this week til sometimes between 5 and 6 pm. He's teething..grumpy, not feeling well, and being destructive..sigh. It's been so not fun trying to keep up with him.

Today I had to take my aunt to the doctor so He had to leave at 12 (along with Caleb and Kota.) Sis is cooking aunts dinner and taking it to her...so for the first time this week, I am now done with running around. I really need to pick up the living room and clean up the kitchen but for right now I'm going to sit here and enjoy not having to do anything, lol.

Oh, Vacanick, just a thought about the oven...you'll need to respray it. It'll reactivate all that stuff that has been drying and make the task much easier to do. (You probably already knew this, just doing my overbearing mothering thing.)

Hermi, you can do anything 15 minutes at a time.

Wargod, your posts always make me feel as if I actually did something myself. Ha!

ETA: Accckkkkk, "swimming" in oven cleaner...ignore previous advice!

Hi all, well my house is basically cleaned, I did a vacuum and a quick clean of the bedrooms (while I packed) and vacuumed the house throughout. Now I can come home to a clean house again.

My entrance way has some boxes of stuff to be taken to the trailer yet..so that will be clean when we load the rest of the stuff into the trailer

I will be back on the 10th, have a great week all and I will miss you!!!

I have been trying to do the missions, last night I set out stuff for Salvation Army, I was amazed that I requested a pick up yesterday and they could come today! Then I hauled all the boxes of stuff that I wanted to put in my downstairs storage unit out. AND I actually swept the entire house!!

It finally feels right! I have enough stuff put away that I can clean! Now I just have to organize the office supplies and files (they are in weird temporary places since I have a smaller desk now) and unpack and putty down all the beautiful glassware and collectibles in my hutch.

Oh yeah, I am going to paint and reupholster chair seats this weekend, LOL.

SKootz, and Y2krazy have good trips, be safe!

Wow Dipo, that is quick for someone to pick up donations!

I got a day off with my nephew but didn't find out about it til I was already up and waiting for him to come over this morning. Since I was already up, decided I'd start my housework early. So far I've gotten the living room furniture polished, windows washed, carpet vacuumed (even did under the couch cushions thinking about a mission earlier this week, lol.) The kitchen is cleaned (including floor and cabinet/drawer doors and the outside of the fridge. Even managed to sweep up the driveway and patio before it got hot. I did leave off on doing the den because my nieces were coming over (they're here now) and figured I should leave one room for them to make a mess in without getting myself stressed cuz I'd just cleaned it, lol.

Works out pretty well since today is errand day for my aunt. I need to run to the bank for her and go do her grocery shopping for the month so I won't get much else done.

I'm pretty happy with the progress I've made so far considering I'm still in my jammies (shhh...I know thats a big flylady nono!)

*August 6–10*

*Monday's Mission*

Get out the microfiber cloths for this one, too. There's nothing that those microfiber cloths can't do. :>

Hope that we hear from a few of our long-lost flutterers today. Have a wonderful Monday!

Tee hee, I did today's mission before I even looked at the board.

Got up early this morning and the dog followed me out. It's kind of unusual for Harvey to get up that early, and then he proceeded to get sick all over the living room. Not me fed him people food last night. I cleaned up his mess, then called sis to borrow her carpet cleaner and sent Darren out there to pick it up. Good thing I did too, her fridge broke so he ended up helping her clean out the fridge then going to the store to get a bunch of ice for her since she can't do it herself.

While he was gone, I took advantage of the fact that I don't have my nephew today and my aunt doesn't need me and cleaned the kitchen top to bottom. Cleaned out the fridge, the cabinets, the drawers. Dumped out Darren's lunch food box (I keep a large plastic bin of chips, gran bars, nuts, etc) and cleaned that.

Figured since I was on a roll and I didn't have anyone else to take care of today, I was going to attack the whole house. Helped both kids pick up their rooms so I can clean their carpets. I've done four loads of laundry, and dusted/polished/wiped all the living room, washed the windows, put stuff back where it belongs, and vaccumed.

Now I need to go get the laundry we tossed out of their rooms into the hallway, wipe down around doorknobs and light switches, and then clean all the carpets. Also need to clean the bathroom (mostly just wipe it down) and clean the den (kids toys back to their room, dust, sweep/mop) and I'll be done.

This makes me quite happy, lol. Don't know if my nephew will be here tomorrow, but sis has a drs appt and the girls will be here. I also have to clean out my aunts fridges and go grocery shopping for her, then Wednesday clean her house so if I can get all this done today I won't have much to worry about the next few days while I'm busy with other stuff.

*Tuesday's Mission*

Since I painted the under sink bright white, I can keep it clean all the time. That really was a good tip. It's impossible to hide a mess under there.

Wargod, let me understand this correctly. You are blessed with a day all to yourself and you used it to clean the kitchen from top to bottom? Then you went on to clean the entire house. Yup, that's why we call crisis cleaning "wargodding." As long as it made you happy! :-)

Vacanick, how'd that oven come out?

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Love to hear what the rest of you are up to.

Getting ready to go to New Orleans. Past few days shopping [I hate to shop it's a chore to me], mowing the lawn, laundry.

Today I've cleaned the bathroom and our bedroom top to bottom, paid bills, vacuumed the living room, dining room, & kitchen. I miss having carpet! Now I'm trying to get myself talked into cleaning the stairs. After that it's downstairs to do the family room, laundry room, bathroom, and the kittie's litter box room. Tomorrow morning will be any last minute things to do. Hubby gets off at noon and I want to be able to just pack then relax. And I want to come home to as clean as it can be house. We leave the house about 5am Thursday morning.

I swear you guys put me to shame! I am happy to get the dishwasher unloaded and clear the kitchen counters, LOL, and you guys clean the whole house! And last night I got all the recycling out to the bins, that made me happy.

My goal for tonight is to put up a shelf in the bathroom and water the plants, oh maybe I will clean the toliet and mirror (thanks for the reminder serate). And I want to clean the bedroom floor and read/set up my new roomba.

Serate, I hope you have a great trip!

LOL, yep, Vee, I spent my day to myself cleaning but only cuz I wasn't sure what the rest of the week would bring. Today I need to grocery shop for my aunt (also clean out her fridge first) and run a couple errands.

My nephew hasn't been over since Thursday and we're kind of playing it day by day right now. He may be over tomorrow, may be a couple weeks (his daddy is in construction.) My sister is feeling worse and worse, her last three appts the dr has been threatening to put her in the hospital for the rest of her pregnancy. I told Darren last night it would not surprise me at all if that finally happens within the next week (she has an ultrasound today and an appt next week with the dr.) She has seven weeks left, has been having pre-term contractions quite a bit and just doesn't feel well at all. Still has seven weeks to go, but the doctor is only worried about getting her past the next three without going into full blown labor, after that they won't do anything to stop it. Whenever she goes to the hospital, her older to girls will be coming to stay with us since their daddy leaves for work at 5am. I'm kinda in this limbo when I go to bed at night where I have no idea whats going to happen the next morning.

Dipo no need to feel shame. It's because July was a pity party month for me and I didn't do much that I'm trying to get this all done before I leave so hopefully I can get back into good habits when we get back.

Wargod your sis is in my prayers.
