I find I am so much more productive when I list out each thing I have done. When I just work through the day sometimes the little things that sometimes take forever slip from my mind, but when I lay it all out I realize I actually DO get quite a bit done so I end up doing more!

So today I have washed and dried two loads of laundry (going to try to con hubby into folding for me while I go out to run errands)

Went upstairs and moved all the boxes that hold my crafting supplies

Swept the wooden floor

Mopped the floor

Picked up the mess around my hubbies desk

Picked up trash

Vacuumed the area rug

Remopped the floor

Vacuumed the upstairs carpeted landing.

Sorted out a huge back of stuff to go to the thrift shop.

Phew! That all took the whole morning (It was really messy upstairs)

I'm busy watching the NFL football games. No time for cleaning. LOL
Enjoy your day, Alee.
Is it cold up there? Did it snow yet?

You know Alee hubby was just giving me a hard time about making a list at lunch, he thinks it's quite funny. We are expecting a large windy storm Tuesday so I made a list to get ready. This morning I have

Gotten chicken coop cleaned, added shavings and moved in feeders & waterers
Finished pulling up garden & putting away all outdoor tools, gathered last veges.
Cleaned last rain gutter, straightened up garage
Trimmed tree so it won't brush against the house in the wind
Put away most windchimes and birdfeeders
Moved potted plants under awning, put away patio furniture cushions
Picked 4 5gal buckets of apples
Cleaned upstairs balcony and re-rugged outdoor kitties igloo bed
Rolled up & put away hoses
Whew! I'm tired & ready for a nap!
We deserve a day of shopping now hugh?

Warm Wishes

Sounds good Jennifer! Oh wait then that would mean more stuff to put away at home. Can we have a day of playing with my horse instead?

Marly- Yes it is cold! About 22 degrees outside and it has been snowing for a couple days! BRRR

Sure we can hang out with your horse, I was just wanting to do something/anything besides chores. Only one problem spent yesterday outside getting ready for the storm, now the inside needs help. It will NEVER end. Oh well I'll work in here for a while then I get to put up all those apples, that will be fun. Enjoy!

Lets see! Today was a busy one but a lot of it was driving :(

Drove hubby to work and tried to run an errand while I was in town, but the place was closed.
Drove home
Started cleaning the living room and realized that my vacuum was just not doing it's job well at all!
Drove back into town
Bought a vacuum and a starter fish tank for Nora with a Beta
Came home and put together the vacuum
Vacuumed the living room 4x (It's addicting when you can see all the crud come up from your carpet!)
Shampooed the living room- hopefully I won't hae to shampoo as often with this nice new vacuum.
Set up the fish tank- best purchase ever!
vacuumed Nora's room
Stripped Nora's bed
Washed Nora's sheets and dried some of my clothes
Got Nora bathed and re-dressed since we are going to a friend's house tonight
Got 3 bags of garbage taken out to the dumpster.

Phew! I am tired! I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night and now I have to go to a friend's house for game night. I would rather sleep! ;)
