LOL, Wargod, you did a lot more in the bathroom than I did, which was exactly nothing. For some reason I was really tired when I got home from work so just managed to feed myself, the cats, clean up the kitchen and go to bed. I hope to do better tonight! Hey Skootz! what have you been up to!

Hi Skootz! Sometimes Dipo, resting is more important! I don't think I'll be doing much today. I have cramps...the type where even getting up and walking hurts. Least I got quite a bit done yesterday and no kids here so except Caleb so no messes to deal with.

Thursdays Mission Been doing laundry today and cleaning up in the den. We're planning on getting rid of one desk and moving both the big one and the kids desks to different spots in the den. Also moving a bookcase from the den to Kota's room, but won't do any of that until this weekend. Tomorrow I'm just going to clean up around the house some, move some stuff in Kota's room, and do more laundry. When it comes time to move furniture around, I want to be able to just do it and not worry about having to clean stuff off or anything, lol.

LOL Skootz. Caleb told me he cleaned the kitchen the other day. It was so nice and unexpected, he just went in and did it after dinner. I waited til he went to bed to go back in and wipe down the counters and sweep the floor, lol. He cleans the kitchen just like Darren, dishes are clean, it's done.

So nice that they are trying to help, LOL. I hope to get some of the bathroom stuff done tonight. I noticed this morning that my Blackie-boy hit the wall when he peed in the kitty box (guess he backed up to far, LOL) at some time in the night, so I need to clean that up. Which means I might as well do all the rest of the missions, will take me all of 30 minutes, I figure. Then I have to do all my big chores this weekend, my party is next saturday and even though I am taking friday off, I don't want to spend it cleaning, instead I will be making 2 dozen deviled eggs.

Having often made 2 dozen deviled eggs, Dipo, I'd rather spend the day cleaning, lol! I haven't done anything today. I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep this morning and the kidlets let me sleep in late. Somehow I've also ended up with my three nieces, Dakota's bff, and Caleb's friend all coming over this afternoon. Not sure how the heck that happened. I have to leave in a few to pick all of them up. Also not sure how that happened, lol. Both Caleb and Kota do their chores pretty easily (not a lot of fighting or postponing) but Caleb's really getting to the point he's starting to do stuff when he sees it needs done. Like taking out the trash or picking up. I don't want to discourage him or chase him off but I'd really like to teach him if he's going to do it...do it right. I figure next time the kitchen is on his chore schedule I'll just remind him gently that when he's done with dishes to wipe the counter and sweep the floor.

Tuesday's Mission I just click on the last mission listed in this thread, Dipo, and get the mission from there, lol. I didn't get much done today, had my two nieces here all day. Don't know if I'll get anything done tomorrow either. Me and sis were doing kid swap, I watched her kids last night and mine were supposed to go over to her house tonight. Dropped them all off earlier and sis called me at 8, Dakota wasn't feeling well. She'd been complaining about her ear hurting since last night, but I thought it was just swimmers ear (hurts, but not really sick sick.) Nope, by this evening she was running a fever and in tears, so we went and picked up the kidlets. I'll be taking her to the dr tomorrow...since it's an urgent care appt, no idea how early I can get an appt or how long we'll be sitting there.

Thanks Wargod, I just couldn't find it on the site, I rarely go there, LOL. I am very proud, I finally fixed my curtain rod (that I had previously installed). Somehow I got one side lower than the other. Last night I climbed up on my stepstool and pried those screws out of the wall (I had to use pliers) and measured where it should be and reinstalled. It looks beautiful! I also had my handyman in on Sunday and I have finally got the baseboards in on my bedroom (I admitted to myself that I was not going to do it, as much as I wanted to), it was only two walls that were missing, so it looks great. Plus now I can staple the tv cable along the baseboard. Bummer about the ear and especially since it screws up the kid exchange.

Yay on the curtain rod! And on the baseboards! It's nice when you get stuff like that done, it's just little things but makes the house look so good. I'm going to try to get some housework done today (and laundry, oh I hate laundry) and a nap at some point, I am just dragging. Kota was up most of the night. I've got an appt for her at 5:15 today, the earliest I could get her in unless I wanted to go in my jammies and carry her cuz she is still asleep at 10:25. Trying to get myself motivated now and just not having much luck with it, lol.

Thursday's Mission I'd like someone to tell me why everytime this mission comes around it's something I need to do. No matter how hard I try, my dresser ends up the catch-all for everything in my bedroom.

LOL, Wargod, I was up at 630 this morning to do some chores, didn't get home last night until late and it was hot here to. It is not supposed to get as hot here for the next few days as they had originally predicted, thank goodness. My party is Saturday and I can't fit all these people in my house, I need to be able to open up the balcony.

LOL, Dipo, get a pool! My sis and bil had a party/bbq a couple weeks ago and it was so hot people kept going over and hopping in the pool (fully clothed!) I've been trying real hard not to run the swamp cooler until we really need it, which means up until about 1, it's just miserable in the house. So for right now, I'll keep doing chores in the middle of the night. Kids go back to school in 19 days, when they do I won't be able to stay up so late so I'll start to get up early to do them.

OK, I finally get a chance to check out the mission for the day (well first time for the week) and I have been thinking, I need to do all the sheets on the beds and get them done with - now I come here and I guess I will do them now. Have a great weekend!

LOL, there is pool, but it is in the other part of the complex. I asked my sister to bring one of those heavy duty extension cords so I can put my oscilating fan on the balcony. I think with the fan and the umbrella people may be willing to go out there.

As long as there was shade, I'd be outside during the party. The fan would be very nice! I hope you have a great party! Skootz, when I read todays mission I had to giggle because we changed the sheets and flipped the mattress earlier this week. It sparked a funny convo with Darren. We were talking about needing a new mattress and had decided we'd just have to wait to save money for it, unless, commented Darren, we wanted to go with a smaller mattress like a queen size. I stared at him for a minute and said..you know I love you but...and he started laughing and said you don't want to be sleeping all cuddled up cuz there's no room. LOL, I felt bad and started to apologize but yep, that's exactly how I feel. Luckily he agrees...he gets too hot if I'm right next to him. Truth is, I'm a restless sleeper, arms and legs flailing around, tossing and turning, for his own safety we need to have some space between us. We'll cuddle up together for a few minutes, then when I know I'm about to fall asleep, I move over and so does he. I just thought it was funny...we've known this for years though neither one of us has come right out and said I don't want to sleep right up against you all night, lol.

I got nothing done today and have no plans of doing anything tonight. Isn't that terrible? Tomorrow we're rearranging the furniture in the den and getting rid of two desks (we're keeping one for the kids and then using the old table for Darren's/mine to have a little more room.) I'll be cleaning the den (major cleaning, de-cluttering desk drawers, the bookcase, dusting, washing walls, etc) as we go along.

Got the bed sheets done - and at almost midnight I was making the bed. Busy day yesterday, dh was combining wheat in the field, I worked the morning. I did however paint the rest of the sunroom yesterday afternoon/evening. I put everything away and had it as a surprise for dh when he came in last night at 11. We have a family reunion here on Aug 3 - yes in 1 week. It is always busy getting things done ahead of time, but it is something that you have a push and deadline to get things done for. Today, (no day off here lol) I am planning on washing down the porches/deck. I have 2 out of 3 dd's home, so will get them help me as they can help with moving furniture off and on etc. We also are expecting people this morning to dismantle and remove a fenced area that we have. I sold it on the internet. So a busy day all around. No date night here lol Have a great weekend!

Well today is my party. I did a lot of stuff yesterday, swept everything, dusted everything, redid my foyer area, hung a picture and rearranged the patio furniture. This morning I have polished the counters and stove, did a final check of the porch - swept it, swept down the balcony and cleaned the bathroom floor. Last thing I will do after I get dressed, that process starts at 9:30 is wipe down the bathroom and put out fresh hand towels. It seems like a lot but really didn't take long. I am off to breakfast at 10:30, pick up my veggie tray around 11 an a few extra things at the store, then home and set up. I have most of the areas already set up, just no food or drinks out. When we get back with the ice we can get all the beverages out of my frig and into ice so there is room in the fridge for stuff, LOL. Have a great weekend.

Skootz, dumb question here. While my city was pretty rural when I was growing up, I'm pretty much a city girl...what does combining wheat mean? I hope you have a fantastic family reunion next week! Have fun Dipo!!! I'm in the process of cleaning the den and have so far moved a bookcase. It's so hot though I'm going to have to stop in a bit and hop in a cold shower! I'm kinda stuck now though, Darren's sleeping and I can't go much further without him dismantline the kids computer so I can clear off their desk and get it out of here.
