Popping in to say that I miss you and you're all doing great! Big hugs to you, Skootz, for taking on the challenge.

Sadly, I reverted back to my old cleaning habits as a means of coping. Cleaning all the time is not what FlyLady has in mind, but much better than drugs or alcohol. LOL!

Keep up the good work and I'll try to get a grip. I really want to get my life back to the way it used to be. (Ohhhh! There are animated gifs now...cool!)

Thanks for popping in Vee, you are really missed around here. Keeping you and your family in my continued prayers. Hope you can come back to play soon again.

Thursday Mission

Yesterday, dh and I went to Home Depot, Rona and another building store to check out flooring etc., We came home with 4 samples of laminate. I also picked up some paint chips to see what I liked best.

Today, I will do a quick blessing upstairs, make a couple of birthday cakes for dd who turns 9 on Saturday and then I am planning on removing the wall paper in the living room.

Have a great day all!

Good Housekeeping Tip of the Day


Always keep several get well cards on the mantle…
So if unexpected guests arrive, they will think you’ve been sick and unable to clean!!

Ha! I like that!

Bless, bless, bless. That is the motto for today. I've already hit the living room and bathroom. Need to really clean the kitchen today and probably sweep and mop the den. My nephew is having one of those days today, lol.

Good morning everyone.

I finally, got my trash and recyling out this morning! My porch light burned out and I can't see to get down the stairs when I get home from work, so I did it this morning before the big storm rolls in. I hope they get the light fixed today. What a relief, the trash has been bugging me since the weekend, but the cans were full, so I waited, then it was raining and then the light went out. So I feel accomplished even if I don't get another thing done!!

<Waving at Vee!> Hope you and your family are ok!

Paying bills counts as home & life organization doesn't it? If so I'm doing great today, lol! Got everything except the trash bill (it only comes every other month or something like that and I don't have one right now) paid this morning. I'm feeling pretty beat up by this point. Took Caleb to school, took Kota to school, dropped something off at my sisters, paid water bill then electric and phone, then gas, then picked up my nephew, all the while it poured down rain and some people in the desert have no freaking clue how to drive when it rains!

I've got to pick Caleb up in a couple hours and may try to get something done around the house before he gets home. Then again, maybe not, lol.

I haven't got much done lately though not for lack of trying, things just keep coming up. I'd like to say I'll do it all tomorrow but I really need to clean my aunts too. She had plumbing probs this weekend that I was dealing with instead.

Meme, if you've been to the dinner thread lately you've seen my dinner menus have kept me freaky busy in the kitchen. I have managed to dust, vacuum, laundry, clean up here and there, and wash floors, but haven't had the umphf to come in here and read all the work you ladies have been doing!

Yes! They are three grumpy old men. Those guys in the movies don't have anything on these three. LOL Seriously, one bil is on oxygen, and this is the absolute worst time of the year to be outside with the mountain cedar swirling around in the air. So they sit and chat, watch tv, and wait for me to feed them. Well, they also take Kit to and from the day center, and they've managed to buy my dinner out a couple of times, too.

Ick! Why did I go there? The new puppy has been "burying" things in the sofa. DH has been stashing crumbs in his chair. BTW three grumpy old men are made of rubber and bounce back! LOL

I attacked my living room this weekend, so haven't been doing much in there this week other than just picking up after the kids.

Yesterday I was feeling really lousy and didn't feel like doing much so I started in on the huge pile of laundry I have to do (gets pretty easy once the kids get home, "Caleb, go put the laundry in the dryer, Dakota, go take the laundry out of the dryer and switch the clothes in the washer.") I got four loads done. So far today I am on my second in the dryer but don't have another in the washer yet cuz the dryer will have to go through two cycles and I just started the first. I keep looking at the pile and thinking I haven't made much progress, but I have washed every towel in the house, I've done two loads for my aunt, and I've done one load of sheets. Right now I'm working on the kids clothes, next is Darrens. I will finish all of the laundry by this weekend, that is my goal!

I need to finish the laundry so I can clean out the closet and cabinets in the laundry room. I had to crack up, all this thinking about what to do about my den and I opened that closet last night (I seriously can not remember the last time I looked in there!) and found Caleb's old rug...the one with all the roads on it for cars. I'm going to pull it out later and see what kind of shape it's in and if I can clean it up if it needs it and use it for nephew. I can't imagine I'd keep it if it was trashy and really don't think I'd put it in there dirty.

Oh my Skootz. How long will it be like that?

Today is the first day this week I'll be home all day. I'm actually kinda stuck, lol. Darren took my minivan to work to bring home boxes for sis and bil so I have his little honda and besides my nephew my two youngest nieces will be here. Can't fit three car seats in the Honda! With the two older ones to amuse each other, I'm hoping to get work done!

ETA: Dangit how does Kelly do that? My front porch is a mess (dirt, leaves) but can't do nothing about it today with the wind, and I've got a pile of mail on the table I haven't even looked at yet.
