Zone 5: The Living Room (April 28 - 30) Monday's Mission Glad you got some work done War. I didn't do much this weekend, just one of those weekends I guess lol This week I really need to stick to my plan and be organized. Between working, appointments etc., planning my moms surprise 75th birthday (on Saturday). I need to stay on top of things this week. I also need to finish going though the clothes upstairs and then get some bags to the good will.

Well, for the last couple of months I have kept my head above water, more or less, but organised routine ah-uh. The flymail got deleted unread, and there were a lot of licks and promises. Time to pull up the boot straps again. (I'll tell ya later how well that went.

Your Wednesday Mission sorry missed yesterday, busy week here, working and preparing for my moms 75th Birthday party for this Saturday. Tomorrow is a fun day, I belong to POC (Professional Organizers in Canada) and we are doing a volunteer day tomorrow at a Hospice place in London. So our chapter gets together and organized an entire house for charity. Looking forward to working with other organizers. It will also be great experience for me.

We worked (in spurts, lol) in the backyard today. Cleaned, swept, washed down the patio. Let me say, I'm big on water conservation but once a year in spring we wash the patio down and scrub away the winter dirt and crud. Also scrubbed the patio furniture and little statues and decorations and planted a couple small flower pots full of flowers. Tomorrow we're raking the backyard dirt/small patches of grass area and trimming bushes. Hoping to have it done by tomorrow night for a small bbq. Our goal this year is to do the same to the backyard that we, or Darren, did to the front yard, dig it all up, throw down some seeds and get some good grass going out there. We asked Kota today about the swing set. Caleb hasn't used it in a year or two and she hasn't really used it all that much either this past year. It sits right in the middle of the yard, perfect when the kids were little and used it, but now more in the way than anything. She took less than a minute to announce she was ready to give it up, it would give her and her friends more room to play soccer and play catch. I was half tempted to keep it for my nephew but he doesn't ever use it (he'd rather ride his trycicle and chase the dogs around.) So, pretty soon, the swing set is going, probably not this weekend though. Didn't accomplish much inside the house though.

How are you all doing this week? Skootz, how did the volulnteer day go? After last weeks craziness (Darren home sick, me not feeling well, kids getting out of school at weird hours, my aunt) this week has been kind of nice and quiet. Well except for the day the hose to the washer broke, lol. I don't know if it's just that everyones been busy and gone more than home or the kids are taking more of an active interest in keeping their stuff picked up but the house has stayed pretty clean and hasn't been much work at all. Hope everyone else is having a quiet week!

Trying to catch up on a few things that got ignored lately. Finished tidying and wiping the rest of the kitchen cabinets and drawers this week. Washed the patio doors yesterday and will give everything a good hosing (no pun intended, War ) down tomorrow. Just finished de-membraning (or however you call that) 19 oranges for a citrus salad and a filled roll idea I had. Stalling right now, because I don't want to go out there and bake the dang thing, although it's easier than pie. At least I'll get out of making the filling until dh comes back from the store, and he's not even in the shower yet. Yes, break time!!!

Want me to come over and help with the hosing down Lum? All I have to do is stand there and somehow you'll have a bunch extra water you didn't expect to have! I did the washing down the patio, screen, door, furniture ect this past weekend. Yesterday we had high wind warnings and now it doesn't even look like I did anything out there at all. I try not to do that (washing down the patio) too often cuz we live in the desert where water conservation is important but I may have to do it again. So far today I've cleaned the den and kitchen (still need to mop,) did a quick sweep on the patio, and have washed some laundry. Need to pick Caleb up in about 3 minutes and then I'll pick up the living room and wipe down the bathroom and take care of the floors and be done I think. Tomorrow we're doing some extra work at my aunts since we're having a bbq/birthday party there this weekend. Also told sis I'd make a baby album for a friend of hers (should also start thinking about the one for little adopted sis' new baby) so won't be doing much around my house at all.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer, War, but I think I'll stick with my proven method of fibre shoe on a stick.LOL Isn't it frustrating when you have barely turned your back on a big job and nature, kids, husband and/or dog mess it up all over again? Ack! Enjoy your BBQ party tomorrow! Houseowrk can wait. Off to bake that dang roll.LOL

I'm about to get on Darren's case about planting new grass out back. That is the big problem. Most of the yard is just dirt so it all ends up on the patio. It is frustrating! I think I have a change of plans tomorrow but I'm not quite sure. Sis didn't pick up the stuff for the album today so we'll be going first thing in the morning. But, if I'm to have it done by Sunday, and we have the bbq Saturday, that leaves me...tomorrow to do the album. Sis is gonna have to take care of getting the house ready tomorrow if she wants the album done. On the plus side, I finished five loads of laundry today. I've still got a bunch left to do (some ours, a lot for my aunt) but it felt good getting that much done!

Thanks Skootz, I didn't even think to look this morning! Luckily, I don't have fuzzy things in my bathroom and I wiped down the washer/dryer last week when we had the line break, lol.

Skootz, I had already decided that the laundry room would be the "other" one this week - before popping in here. No fuzzies in my bathroom, either and the cleaning in the mission, I do anyway on blessing day. For me the big challenge this week is the laundry room. It's a mess! Don't know why....all I do in there is wash and dig in the chest freezer a few times a month. Ack!

Does anyone have fuzzies in their bathrooms, I don't think I have seen anyone with them in a long time! I cleaned my bathroom over the weekend, but that reminds me. I got a new pole for the shower curtain that I need to put up, but I am not sure how you position it. It is a screw mount, should the pole line up with the outside edged of the tub or be centered or what? Is there a protocol, LOL. TIA!

NOOOO I don't want to! My nephew didn't come over this morning and it's too pretty of a day to be cleaning, lol. However, I guess I have to. Did the laundry room mission last week, bathroom could probably use a touch up those.
