We have done this in the past where everyone comes here to detail all that they have gotten done today. Not only does it help keep you on track by feeling more accountable, but it also shows how each of those little tasks throughout the day really do add up to a lot accomplished!
I am still feeling under the weather today but I can lounge on the couch and fold laundry or other small things.
So today I have picked up all the toys in Nora's room
Stripped and remade Nora's bed (she helped it was sooo cute!)
started 2 loads of laundry
Vacuumed Nora's room
Doug got up and I told him that if he was going to sit and watch TV he HAD to fold laundry. To my surprise he said yes, so even though I didn't do it...at least 3 washings of laundry have been folded and guess what- I am going to go get him some more!!! 
I also have washed at least 3 sinkfuls of dishes (Guess who didn't do dishes while I was in Wyoming...)
Our hot water in the bathroom won't turn off so we are doing this weird ballet dance of turning off the water main to let the water heat- taking a shower and getting water run to clean with- then shutting off the main. Or sometimes we have to let it run and I have been heating water on the stove all morning to wash dishes.

Did last nights dishes
Cleaned the toaster oven, about let it get too far.
Fixed lunch and did dishes
Went down to the celler for a can of pork and beans
While in the celler, straightened shelves, did some inventory (will post about what I found in the kitchen topics.
Worked on getting medical info ready for taxes
Cleaned a file with 07 med info. Ron set by the fireplace and burned a huge stack of papers.
Checked TV Guide to see when the football games come on. 1:00 our time. I have about 30 min then I am in my recliner watching football just like the guys. Except Ole Ron, he don't like football. I tell him to be glad that I don't like to watch basketball or golf. LOL

Well, I am rather proud of myself! I just cleaned my bathroom! After reading about all the bad stuff in almost all bathroom things, I took the trashcan in there and loaded it up. I felt really bad about throwing it all away, but if I can't use it, nobody is.
Then I started in on the tub and all that was in there. Yuck! I cannot believe how much crap was in there that I have let pile up. I am not a shower cleaner at all. Or a bathroom cleaner either, really, obviously. But this was rather bad. It's amazing what baking soda and elbow grease can do. That tub and surround are shiny now! And alls that's in there is just a few things now.
Ok, then I started in on the tower type metal shelf between the toilet and sink It has 5 small shelves with all kinds of stuff on it plus a layer of dust an inch thick. So got that all cleaned and shiny, too.
Then even scrubed the floor and the baseboards, too! Then the sink and toilet. It is so nice in there now. Cleanest room in the house. It's also the smallest, so I thought that would be the best place to start.
So 1 room clean, 8 more to go! Yeah! It really does feel good.
Oh, and I cleaned out the spice/plastic bag cabinet over the stove earlier this morning, too. And folded a load of towels. And just cleaned off my computer table while waiting to see Cheryl's one room studio on her blog. And Nancy's sale drawer things, too.
So happy cleaning, ya'll! Kris

Man, I feel kinda lazy after reading what all of you have done. I'm like Alee - still under the weather, so I guess that's my excuse - still not hearing anything out of the left ear. I have
- made breakfast (bacon ends, scrambled with eggs, topped with cheese and bagels),
- made blueberry muffins,
- mixed a meatloaf together,
- fed the animals, and
- finished a little beret I was knitting.
We're going to try and take the dogs out in the woods for a run this afternoon if we can garner up any energy!
I hope I get feeling better soon - my house needs some SERIOUS attention!

Ain't done squat today except run to the store. Charlie is sick so just hanging out, stuffing him with healthy foods and liquids and resting a lot. I have a lot to do this week, as this is the first time in 2 weeks I won't have Charlie home. Mostly have to make a LOT Of phone calls and get ready for school again.

Wow! You girls sure are getting things done on a lazy sunday-
I've been busy today because I've been lazy staying up late and reading lately, so the house was being neglected. I had to hurry up this morning because a good friend from out west was coming to visit for the afternoon (which was such a fun visit- I got caught up on all the drama at where I used to work, lol.) and she was so happy she got to see me and my little country house.
Anyway- I was up and at'em at 8:30 (which is early for me ;-)
-washed all the dishes, dripped dry and put away
-started a crockpot split pea soup for lunch/dinner
-cleaned the bathrooms/kitchen/living room/bedroom to a presentable status
-fella baked chocolate chip cookies for our company!
- did my nails
- feed/watered the chickens (they're still laying!)
- built 3 fires over the course of the day to try and get this house warm enough.. still pretty cold in here though
- did a load of white laundry, folded and put away yesterday's wash, and hung today's.
-started to tidy and put away christmas presents.
-watered houseplants
Whew! Think I'll go get a cup of hot chocolate and relax for awhile.
Hope all you farmgirls with colds feel better soon!

| My last post, I was on my way to kick back and watch a football game. Well, that didn't last long. #1 son called to remind his Dad that bull riding was on. So I gave up the big TV in the living room (no not a big screen, just bigger than the other 3). I had the football game on in the kitchen but got busy and didn't watch it. So I washed, dried and folded a load of cloths, swept the kitchen floor, spot cleaned the living room, swept and dusted around the fireplace, sorted junk mail that was in the livingroom, gathered up trash so Ole Ron could take the trash cart down to the road for morning p.u., filled Ron's and my pill bottles for the week with scripts and vitamins and watered my 2 big pointsettias that have to be watered in the bathtub. Now I'll go start on supper. Not too much going on there. Left over chicken tenders, potato cakes from leftover mashed potatoes and I'll do a stirfry with carrot, celery, onion, bell pepper, broc and cauliflower. Same stuff that went in our salad last night except I used all the lettuce. Hope I can get the dishes done so it won't be on the top of my list tomorrow. |

In addition to the first list:
moved clothes to dryer (wish I had a clothes line maybe spring).
washed a load of rugs and dog towels
folded another load of towels
put them away
Put a tri-tip in the crock pot for supper.
spent 15 min cleaning my junk room soon to be Paul's big boy room.
Spent 15 min cleaning my laundry room/ mud room.
helped Paul clean up the toy room. What a disaster! I am tempted to give away all toys with more than one piece to them.
Now I am going to take a nap while Paul is sleeping so maybe I can start to feel better.

Well I have gotten some stuff done even though I am not very motivated.
I have:
Washed 4 loads of laundry, dried 3 loads and folded 2.
Changed the sheets on our bed.
Vacuumed the bathroom and computer room
Done the dishes.
Tidied the kitchen, including clearing the kitchen table of clutter.
Ironed tablecloths and dishtowels.
Shoveled and swept the snow from on/around my car
I have also played 4 different types of solitaire and won every one quickly - if that isn't a message to get off my butt and do something constructive I don't know what is:)

Yesterday, I also worked in the yard for 1 hr. did another load of laundry and folded another. Made supper. Cleared away supper and the dishes and shined my sink. I also worked out for 1hr. I wouldn't have done this without the Wii fit. It makes it sooo much fun. I am so competitive it is rediculous. I wouldn't make a good gambler because if I do poorly I am always saying "1 more time" like 50 times. If I was gambling I would be sooo broke I would be pawning all my junk to keep playing. That is why I go to Reno to EAT! Not gamble. Sorry got off topic.
Yesterday was pretty productive.
Today so far:
Got up, ate breakfast, fed Paul, Checked MJF, Took a shower, stripped bed, washing first load of laundry, Gonna go tend critters and go grocery shopping:-P Making leftover tri-tip sandwiches for lunch and bacon eggs and fried potatoes for supper. I think I will have to work out again after these meals.
Have a great day!

All I've done today is looked through my recipe box for my 30 day cake recipe and ended up cleaning it out. Threw away all the old magazine ones that I will never use. Just kept all the old ones and hand written ones. So that was a good thing.
So now I'm making the 30 day cake! They're all in the oven and it smells SO good in there.
Now I should probably fix some dinner for me and Kansas. She's been here all day, too. Oh, I did empty the dishwasher. And called the slaughter house about these pigs. Yeah! they will come get them!!!! I am so exited about that.
And I unloaded 12 50lb bags of grain that's been in the car since Sat. And pulled up turnips out of the garden. My goodness, I thought I had not done alot, but when I think about everything, it adds up. So I have not been all that lazy today after all.

wowsers, we are one big load of busy gals!!!
My back was hurting but:
I folded laundrty and did two loads
I grocery shopped and put all away
touched up the paint on scratched woodwork all over the house
removed a weather strip on the bottom of our back door and touched that up...it was scratching the hardwood
undid the last of my holiday decs - took down the mantle garland and embellishments
then spent like an hour deciding what to put on my mantle now
wrote the last of my thank you notes for Christmas
swept the back porch
did some emails for a non-proifit I am president of
made some phone calls
swiffered the floors
it is a now little after five, and I think I will stop.
Hubby is out of town and I do not have to cook! Yippee!

Alright, I'm a bit embarrassed!!!!
Today I: MADE DINNER....
yep that was all I did at home today. I did go to work and went to the gym as well...however, I told myself today when I got home...I was just going to make dinner then enjoy my beautiful world with DH and DS. And that is totally what I did! Had a blast, watched WALL.E...It was so cute.
