Wednesday's Mission Tomorrow is running around and errand day plus whatever cleaning I can get done around the house. I need to do a little grocery shopping for my aunt, need to go recycle my aluminum cans (been awhile since I did that and they're starting to get out of hand, lol,) need to do some laundry for my aunt, oh and Kota's uniform needs washed. Kids have another half day so should get the running around done before they get home. Kota also has a game tomorrow night.

Didn't really get anything done last night, took out some recycling on my way to work. Safeway delivery is coming tonight so I will probably get in a bit of dusting while I wait for them. I have just been so tired when I get home at night. Last night I was in bed a 8:30 trying to stay awake, I finally just gave up so then I was awake to watch Chelsea Lately, I love that show, so if worked out great.

Yippee, our living room/entire house has that freshly-licked look, thanks to a major room rescue/cleaning run for short-notice overnight guests, and I intend to rest on those laurels all week. I may let Hilda loose and swing the feather duster on the weekend, but that's as far as it's gonna go. Yay, Bisc, the bag lady!!!!!!!!!! Here’s to reaching that closet!!!!!! One bag or 4 at a time, you’ll get there. War, glad the girls had a good time, but sorry about middle niece feeling miserable and missing out. You’ll just have to kick out the boys again and repeat your girls night. Caleb and Darren could use some male bonding time in the woods, I’m sure.

Thursday's Mission Did the running around today but didn't get to the recycle place, sis wasn't ready to go and I'd told her we'd go together so she wouldn't have to worry about the baby running around there. Tomorrow I have an early dr appt with my aunt (follow up with the pulmonologist.) Then I'm planning on spending most the day at home. Kids have another early day, Kota has practice, and Darren has to meet with his study group, but for the most part I don't have all that much to do. Oh, I take that back, it's fridge clean out day...trash day tomorrow and Darren gets paid Friday which means a big shopping trip within the next few days.

Friday's Mission This hasn't been a great cleaning week. Not sure why, I'm just not getting much done at all. Took my aunt to the dr, he's very happy with her progress though does want to continue seeing her on a monthly basis (this is the lung dr.) He asked how the therapy was going and she told him she didn't do it this week and won't next because her back had been hurting on Monday when we went in and the therapist sent us home. Dr told her the same thing the therapist did and that I repeated...that it was a wise decision, at her age, they/she/we need to be careful and it's better to take some time off than risk her getting hurt. Hearing it from the dr made it sink in I guess cuz she finally said she understood. I did a bit of cleaning after dropping her off and cleaned out my fridge but that was about it. I did do some beading. Sis dropped the girls off at practice and I picked them up. Not much else really. Tomorrow Caleb has his bloodwork at 7am, wasn't too happy to have to fast tonight/tomorrow morning. Need to pay some bills and write out a grocery list/menu so I can shop this weekend. Caleb, sis, and I are signed up for snack bar duty tomorrow afternoon/evening. Caleb's been helping out a couple years, but this was the first one they deemed him old enough to actually volunteer and do more (before he was limited to pouring sodas and getting candy's and chips...no taking money, no cooking, no pouring coffee or hot chocolate) so he's pretty excited. He's still not allowed to do any of the cooking, but he can work the window and take money. The girls want to go with us to watch whatever game is being played and they want to work the pa system and score board, which they might get to do if the scorekeeper needs help.

LOL, I am having the same cleaning problem Wargod. I managed to haul all the cushions and towels in off the balcony in preparation for the rain today. Sounds like a busy weekend for you. I changed out the litter locker and swept the bathroom floor and that was it! I am looking forward to a rainy weekend at home where I can clean and lounge and not feel pressured to go out in the sunshine, LOL.

Well, since I was up early this morning, I've been busy off and on. Cleaned the kitchen, ran to the store for a little shopping (needed cleaners,) and have done a couple loads of laundry. About to start on the living room and then move to the bathroom. It is so freaking humid here though it's hard to keep going. I live in the desert and don't do humid very well, lol, give me dry heat and I'm fine! I really do want to get as much done today as possible though so I don't have all that much to do this weekend besides light cleaning and laundry.

Monday's Mission Back in the kitchen this week. I managed to do just about nothing this weekend, yay me! I did all the major cleaning Friday and have had very little to do since then. Little bit of laundry (load of towels and load of clothes today.) Straightened up the kitchen and washed a few dishes. We did do Costco shopping and I seperated everything, but that was it. Darren did a few chores, fixed the sprinklers and got them ready for summer, hung some new towel racks and a new tp holder. The one thing he didn't do was clean the turtle tank, but he had to buy filters for it so he'll get that done this weekend. The kids swept and cleaned up the driveway and patio and raked leaves (we had a very windy week.) Going to be another wonky week. Aunt's not doing therapy. Step FIL is home this week so no helping out there. But, both kids are still doing testing this week, so min. days Tue-Thur. Tomorrow is banking day for my aunt and Caleb has a dermatologist appt, have to pick him up at 12 or thereabouts. His appt is at 1 and Dakota has a game (warm ups at 4) so I asked sis if I'm not done in time, if she could pick Kota up from school if I can't since she'll have to change into her uniform and have a snack first. Hoping it won't take that long, but never know.

LOL, Wargod, I am with you, didn't do much this weekend. I made my chili, which cooked for three hours, of course then I had to clean the kitchen. Yesterday afternoon the sun was shining in just right and I could see all the grease build up/splots on my stove so I gave that a good scrubbing. Didn't really do much else the entire weekend! I was thinking I should do some laundry, maybe that would get me going. I need to do some sheets and towels, then the comforter and probably then some actual clothes. So maybe a couple of loads tonight and then whatever else I can make myself do, if it is not raining, I have a bunch of recycling to go out, so that might get done. I know one of the kitties barfed about 5am so I need to track that down and clean it up, LOL. Happy days, LOL.

Dipo I did also clean my Kitchen Saturday, plus I did wash sheets and comforters and clothes over the weekend, plus a group of us went out to dinner on Saturday to celebrate a friend birthday and back to one friends house for a few drinks and cake and on Sunday I had a 1st Holy Communion. Needless to say I was in bed early last night

Ahead of me too! Took the kids to school, came home for 30 minutes of me time. Hopped in the shower, ran to aunts to do her check book, ran to the bank, then back to aunts. Came home and had lunch. Went to pick Caleb up from school and ran by the performing arts center to get tickets for the kids shows later this month. I'm waiting on Caleb to eat lunch now so we can run out to the drs office. It'll be like this most of the day, just running running running. Sucky part is, I came home to four messages on the answering machine from four different people wanting me to do four different things. I may get some cleaning done today after Kota's game or I may just sit down and not get back up again!

LOL, me too Dfennessey, but I don't know if it's gonna happen. Got back a bit ago from Caleb's appt, it was pretty quick. I find this office much different than others, usually if you're scheduled right after lunch, it takes forever to get in. This one is always so super quick. We waited about four minutes and they called us back and had no sooner sat down than the dr knocked on the door. Dr is pretty pleased with his progress. His skin has cleared up nicely and huge improvements can be seen. Also pleased by the limited side effects, just the dry skin/eyes/lips. His cholesterol and triglicerides (sure I spelled that wrong) are a little raised, but nothing they don't expect with accutane. He wasn't real pleased with the neutragina moisturizer and gave us a huge sample box of cetophil cleanser and a smaller box of the cetophil moisturizer and recommended some eye balm for the dry eyes (it's written on the paper which is in my car.) Mostly he was just super chatty with Caleb, talking about school, home, activities, etc. He had told us at the beg. him and Caleb would get to know each other very well cuz he has to make sure Caleb's not suffering depression or moodiness, but he cracks me up with his methods...he just hops up on the exam table next to Caleb and says, "So how's it going?" and then proceeds to chat with him about school, home, girls, etc. I've got about an hour before I pick up Kota so will probably do a quick clean in the kitchen. Then pick her up, bring her home for a snack, get her into her uniform and drop her off at the park and then come home and write out a check for Darren's college, cook him dinner and finally run back to the park for the game.

Well it's decided...sit around and do nothing. I am beat! Dakota's team played our other league team tonight. Nice thing is they are very evenly matched and that always makes an exciting game. Dakota was struck out once, walked once, and hit once where she was struck out but brought one girl in in the process. She worked her butt off as catcher. And we cheered. A couple of our other girls had rbi's too. We kept the score 4-0 (us) through 3 and a half innings, then a great hit by one of the other teams players and several of our girls missing the ball, and it was tied. They then scored another. Then totally awesome, totally. My niece got up to hit. She can hit really well, but she's iffy during games. I think she gets a bit too anxious to hit and she gets a tad bit jumpy and swings at anything. Anyways she got up to hit and struck out on the first pitch and er, her favorite Auntie Sandy yelled out that if she hit the ball, she could stay out of school Friday and spend the day alone with me. She waited on the next pitch, then fouled the third. I clarified she had to hit and get on base. 4th pitch, she hit it and we watched it sail past the short stops head into outfield. Little stinker got a double and brought two girls in. Immediately following her was our best hitter who hit another double. In the 5th inning, our girls held them to two runs, so we won 9-7 in probably one of the best games I've seen them play this year. And I'm totally exhausted cheering them on. And my niece certainly didn't forget my promise. She's going to go to school a half day on Friday and then come home early for one on one auntie time.

Tuesday's Mission Tomorrow is housecleaning day at my aunts, along with helping her with a shower and her bills. Also have both kidlets getting out of school early cuz of more testing. I think I'll be watching baby niece while cleaning my aunts so sis can go to the dmv. Then a little cleaning around my house.

What a fun game Wargod! I got the dishwasher loaded and ran it, I have been having trouble with the soap gunking up in the holder, and was pleased to see that it worked correctly when I checked this morning. Finally managed to get the investment club checks deposited, I usually go the day after the meeting but have had meetings at 9am every day for a few weeks. It works best if I go on the way to work, then it only add 15 minutes to my day, if I try to go at lunch it takes the whole hour and there isn't even a place to pick up lunch, so that is a big PHEW!! off my plate. So tonight I have my list of stuff to do, washing the counters and backsplash work nicely into it. Hope everyone has a fun day.

Since most of the Zone 2 missions are my regular weekly thing done in one swoop, I cleaned out the fridges yesterday and will have a peek into some messy cupboards now, but then it's off to the beading table. Yep, Flybrat speaking again.

Wednesday's Mission Woo hoo, my favorite cleaning tool! I'm doing my aunts Costco shopping tomorrow and finishing up at her house (hopefully before the kids get home from school.) Then a little cleaning at my house (maybe even washing my car) and some laundry. Dakota's game has been cancelled but they're going to have practice. I think that's about all I have planned. Oh, I do need to schedule a couple appts for my aunt and need to check on some hotels down around Hollywood. Darren's on a committee at work and the one bonus is the company taking them (and spouses) to dinner. They're doing it somewhere at Citywalk next month and we're thinking we might stay down there for the night. Darren wanted to stay the weekend, lol, but the night after we have the little league fund raiser (casino night) that we'd already planned on attending.

Ok, so I peeked into a few more messy drawers and neatened them today, too. Even did 3 loads of laundry yesterday. Sitting here as we speak staring down the ironing basket. Now there is enough in there to keep me busy the rest of the week. Anyone taking bets as to who'll win - basket or flybrat?

You won't see it again for a while, Bee. Remember, we're about to get the hot weather and won't be able to use major appliances during the day without being charged triple. This is about the time of year my laundry pile doubles.
