I will be leaving in just about an hour to pic sis and the baby up from the hospital. The AC is broken in theirs so she doesn't want to drive the baby around in it for awhile. I will be playing taxi, lol! I'm going to stick a couple pics in my folder.

Having troubles posting links, but don't let that stop you gals from checking for yourselves. Yes, I have a little message sent in for the mods so I may have an answer about what is going on. If anyone else isn't having trouble, please post for us today. Thanks!

*Monday's Mission*

Here's one that I can do and needs doing.

Wargod, how's your schedule looking now that your new little niece has arrived?

Happy Monday, all, and here's looking forward to a good week of flying.

ETA: Okay, it doesn't seem to like both links provided at the same time. It also will not allow me to post the zone work link...so thanks to anyone who can!!

Excellent, Lum! I hadn't seen either of those two lists in a while. So, we're in the kitchen again. Boy, time flies!

Actually, I posted a second link just to see whether I could. In the process, I realised that I hadn't looked at either list in ages.
Some of the chores on there are rather ridiculous if just done on a monthly basis, I do about half on a daily or weekly basis. For example, that lady's pets must have quite an immune system by now.

Ugh, no matter how much you clean in the kitchen there's always a dozen hot spots! Lumbele, I agree. How can a person not clean the animals dishes regularly?

Sigh..I need to do todays mission. Probably won't have time today though!

Vee, my bil went back to work today. Their girls will be staying with me through at least part of the week while sis heals and rests (she's still taking pain pills so can't drive and oldest niece's school is too far to walk.) My schedule is gone, lol! My house is a mess though I'm hoping for some time today to fix that with the three older ones in school. Unfortunately I'm just swapping the three of them for my nephew!

I have to take her and the baby to the doctor later for some blood work (since htey got out of the hospital so quickly they have to go in for the last round) and if she's up to it will stop by my aunts so she can see them. And later have to pick up Caleb and my niece up from school (two different ones) then stop by their house so the girls can visit their mommy for awhile.

Everything else has to be squeezed in between. I took advantage of Darren being home yesterday to do the grocery shopping so at least I don't have to worry about that. And with my middle niece here, she'll be able to occupy the baby while I clean. I'm hoping that even though the day will be somewhat hectic I'll be able to accomplish most of the housework.

The kitchen is the easiest room in the house for me. We keep it up throughout, so it's more of a move the fridge every couple of months, or wash the deck doors, and the curtains. I mainly use zone work there for going through a few cabinets, cleaning up, wiping out.

ETA Reminder, do not read War's posts before chores are done. It poops me out before I have even lifted a finger.

I would have to think long and hard about whether I actually want to take the crap off the refrigerator door.

LOL, this is the begining of the school year, the kids haven't brought much home yet so all that's on my fridge door right now is pics of my nieces and nephews. That's the cleanest part of the whole thing. I have a bad habit of tossing mail up on top (not bills, lol) to get it out of my nephews reach, along with the meds we use most often, and boxes of cereal that I don't ahve room for anywhere else. It's a mess. My whole house is a mess.

Three kids in the shower this morning, the bathroom is covered with towels, pajamas, everybody's different soap, etc. All four of them getting their own breakfast has my kitchen looking like it exploded (who needs to take plates out of the cabinet when grabbing a bowl????) And the poor living room looks like a tornado hit. Dakota's room, oy. There's a pile of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals where all three girls have been sleeping in the middle of the floor, lol.

On the plus side, sis managed to get an early appt (we have to leave in about ten minutes) so at least I'll be able to take them and get home pretty early and have several hours to clean before I have to start getting kids from school. And little adopted sis told me she'd pick the baby up at 12 because she knows I'm a wee bit busy.

LOL, thanks Vee! I bought myself a garbage disposal for my birthday! And I got this new broom/rubber thingie that is great for hardwood floors, the all terrain broom and squeegee -- it is fabulous for pet hair http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=77383&PRODID=60002 and only 12.99!

Yes, Landi, Wargod makes me faint dead away with all she gets done!

Dipo, Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great day!

Ha! I'm so overwhelmed I'm ready to faint dead away, lol. That early morning appt with sis and the baby took two hours, then a trip to the grocery store. Then little adopted sis didn't show up til 1:15, which really ended up being ok since I didn't get home til right before that. Middle niece stayed at home when I left there which left me with a whole hour alone. I sat for a few minutes then managed to clean the kitchen and living room before I had to pick Caleb up then get my nieces and bring them back here.

Just as I was reaching the end of my patience, my mil called wanting to know if sis had had her baby. This really surprised me, I didn't realize she'd been keeping track and knew sis was near her due date. Told me if there was anyhting she could do, let her know since she knew we had our hands full with the girls here. Was nice to hear.

Then Darren called on his way home from work and wanted to know if I had cooked aunt's dinner and offered to take it over and visit with her for a while. When I got home with the kids, I had started her dinner early because I wanted to get it over to her so I wouldn't have anything left to do this evening. For him to do that, oh woo hoo!!! LOL.

I should probably do some more cleaning, but I'm calling it a day. I'm going to cook dinner, and then spend the night with my feet kicked up envisioning a whole clean house!

Sis told me, privately, after having her middle one home for a while today, she really wants the girls back. If she's feeling better tomorrow, they will go home to stay. We haven't told the girls yet because we don't want them to get excited about going home only to have to stay here longer. I did tell sis not to push it (she looked terrible earlier and went home and took a couple pain pills and laid down) I know she's ready for them to come home but she won't be doing herself any favors if she's wearing herself out and not resting.

So, no fainting away cuz I really haven't accomplished that much since last week, lol!

*Tuesday's Mission*

For those of us who are Tupperware lovers, this could prove to be the most challenging mission ever. I did this last week and I was ruthless. Anything that was etched, stained or otherwise not up to snuff got the boot. It was a little painful, but well worth the extra space that I inherited as a result. Not to mention that the space is now so much easier to keep organized. Good luck with this one!

Hahaha, Urgrace, that's a cute little quiz. War could be any one of those for sure!

Dipo, that squeegee tool looks very interesting. I'll have to check that out more thoroughly. Seems as if it would be really good for wood floors.

Happy Tuesday!

Since this job has already been accomplished, with the exception of a box of lids, it should be a pretty simple task! Yay.

There is an updated picture of my geraniums in the 'messages to all' thread. They are still blooming!

My 'almost' dil is supposed to come today to help me weed out the things in the garage that I've been storing for her. A freecycler is also supposed to come and take away the humongous dog house in the back yard. I have a suspicion neither one of those people actually show up today.
