Cool Lumbele, that you got those mattes fixed up right! Lets see, I cooked a lot over the weekend so that I would have food when the heat wave hits. Watered the patio plants this morning, they say it is going to hit 92 here, ACK! I managed to get caught up on my tapes, newspapers and BBAustralia (yes these things count on my list of things to do, LOL). Rearranged the closet some, need to finish that.

Monday's Mission It's supposed to be 92 here today too Dipo. Right now only about 84. I'm trying to get a couple loads of laundry done before noon since I won't be able to do anymore til this evening (peek hours and all.) I've got a couple windows open and some fans going for right now, it's pretty nice in the house. In a while I'll shut all the windows and curtains, turn on the cooler for 20-30 minutes, before shutting it off for the afternoon. I'm trying to avoid an outrageous electric bill this summer, lol. Which also means I'll be changing all my cleaning routines so I'm doing all my work either first thing in the morning or later in the evening. We're only in the 90's right now but I should be getting myself used to higher temps since they'll be here soon enough.

I managed to get all the recycling and trash out of the house last night, although it was 10pm! Way too hot here, it was 96 outside and 92 inside so I finally turned on the AC. I will bite the bullet and just turn it on when I get home tonight, then I can do some chores around the house once it cools down. I did leave the fans on and have all the drapes closed so I hope it doesn't get too bad, my sweet kitty was out on the patio this morning since it was cool!

I didn't get Tuesdays mission done because I forgot to ask. What do I use to clean my pecan cabinets? I think someone on here told me water and vinegar, but I am not sure. TIA.

Hope Julia is doing much better today. Kids bounce back fairly quickly. Wished worried and sleep-deprived parents could, too, eh? Hang in there!

Zone 3: The Bathroom and One Extra Room (June 16 - 20) Monday's Mission Thanks for the wishes, Julia is doing better, but will stay home today and see how things go for tomorrow. There is a school bbq today, so I will take her at lunch time for this and she can see her friends at least.

Skootz, glad to hear Julia is doing better. You are a good Mom to take her to the BBQ. Wargod, hope there were no problems for your friends and that they are feeling better today. I accidentally got a head start on this week, LOL, I cleaned my bathroom yesterday. I had to put away the 24 rolls of toliet paper so that lead to the clean up. I got a bunch of stuff done over the weekend, cleaned the bird poop off the front porch, the babies are gone except maybe one - someone is still up there in the nest but I haven't seen if it is a parent. Also cleared out my inbox (finally), cleared off the dining room table and did some stuff in the kitchen. Everyone have a good week!

I seem to be working on different areas of the house. I finally got my bedroom floors clean! I have been using hardwood floor cleaner/polish, but that just didn't feel right, I want soap or pine sol or something, LOL. So I used vinegar and water, then after that dried I used the hardwood stuff. They turned out great. Now I just need to do the rest of the house, LOL.

Heh, Dipo, I've been on a different room for weeks. I scrubbed the kitchen clean last week. Today I cleaned the carpet in the living room. It needed it badly. Tomorrow I may do Dakota's room. I need to clean my aunts tomorrow or Friday, whenever I get the chance sometimes this week.

I never made it to the bathroom or the kids rooms today. Actually, I didn't do much of anything today, lol. I decided to do my aunt's tomorrow. They're having a party Saturday for my nieces party and I figured it'd be better to do it then than today. Me and Kota will be attacking her bedroom in the afternoon. Her carpet needs to be cleaned badly, but the room is just a mess and she's so not into caring as long as she can find stuff and walk in there. She'd have all the Polly Pockets in her dresser drawer and a pile of clothes on the desk if I left it to her. At some point in the next week, we want to rearrange the furniture in Caleb's room. The kids bedrooms are pretty small but I think the way we also have stuff set up just isn't helping any. He's all for it, though he wants to push his bed up against the closet door which just doesn't work for me, lol.

I didn't do much yesterday either. It is too hot up here! I did leave my AC running this morning set for 80, they say it is going to be around 95ish. Yesterday when I got home it 94 inside the house. Hopefully it will cool off this weekend and I can get some things done during the mornings.

Hey everyone, I am on this one! I pulled my bed out from the wall to tighten up the screws since the headboard was putting marks on the wall and was shocked at how bad the floor looked, LOL. So tonight I will move it even more and take the mop to it. I only store my patio furniture covers under the bed, and they are going to stay there until winter, LOL.

Ha, I actually started Monday's mission without looking here first this morning. My bed sits flat on the floor so I don't worry about under it, but I did grab Kota and we attacked her room today. Her bunk bed sits a little higher up than Caleb's does and the puppy has found it the perfect place to take stuff she knows she's not supposed to have (the kids toys and clothes...sigh.) And stuff she is supposed to have like her toys. So we cleaned under her bed, picked up her dirty laundry, straightened the top of stuff (dresser, desk) changed sheets, and after vacuuming the floor I decided I'd clean her carpet too. Her room is all spiffy looking now and her softball trophies are up on a shelf. I'll probably straighten up Caleb's room tomorrow and clean his carpet.
