Monday Monday

After a weekend of refusing to do anything but the absolute bare minimum (and a lot of cooking/baking), my home is feeling less like a home and more like a dumpster.

I need an intervention.

Since there is nothing more motivating than having someone WATCH, and since I am so desperately in need of some motivation, I am going to write every thing I am able to accomplish today right here. Tonight.

(And yes. I am the kind to write things down just to check them off like...

make breakfast. check.
eat breakfast. check.
change diapers and clothes x3. check.
do chores. check
blog to-do list. check.

:-)

And here is a list of some things to keep me on track. The ones with the ** are HUGE jobs.

~ Laundry. Five loads. Wash. Dry. Fold. Put away. check-well, 2 of the loads are still on the line because it started raining.

~ schooling. ** check

~ Tackle front room ** check

~ Organize yardsale clothing **

~ Finish the letter I started writing yesterday check

~ Finish switching Judah's clothes to the next size check

~ Call pet shops about bunnies check

~ Put ad on Craigslist for bunnies and camera check-the bunnies anyway.

~ Find out about Easter hosting check

~ cook dinner (what should we have? hmmmm.) check- ziti and salad

~ dishes x3 check

~ Move Corynn's desk. ** check

~ Dehydrate two batches of apples almost check-only finished one

~Move Judahs bed. :-( check

~Empty garbages for pick-up. check

~ Remedy EGG situation. (we are swimming in them.) check

~ Put away bags in bedroom check

(can't imagine I will get to these today but I will write it here just in case. And there is always tomorrow.)

~ Deep clean my bedroom. **

~ Move bed. Sweep and mop under it.**

~ Dust bedroom furniture.

~Clear off nightstands.

~ Dust living room.

~ Organize school shelves **

~ Tidy office

It will be interesting seeing just how much I can get done today, especially since Adele' is being a whiney wanting-to-be-held-all-day-or-bawling-instead kind of girl today.

Hopefully I don't look TOTALLY pathetic at the end of the day!

~~~~~~~~ Well it is 10:45 and I am *THIS* close to going to bed.

I never thought I would have accomplished so much...not to mention:

~ swinging Adele' on the swing
~ following Andrew out to admire a baby bird who fell out of her nest
~ hugging on, nursing, and cooing at a gurgling baby Judahbear
~ making a new batch of peppermint iced tea
~ changing Adele's clothes when she fell into a big 'ole mud puddle.

Kissing her boo boos.
~ Listening to Corynns latest chapter book rehash. I've created a monster.

And here is the 'front room' before and afters, one of my MANY to-dos for the day. Just because.




Nothing like telling the world you are a loser to get yourself re-motivated!

GOODNIGHT!

(I just hope when tomorrow morning rolls around, I wake up!)
