[Starflower]

Glad to be here, ty for noticing!!!

TADA
.put wash in the dryer, hung or folded it when it was done
.ate lunch
.made 2 phone calls that made me panic-y, but did NOT procrastinate about them! (I just got the 2 letters on Saturday and yesterday was a holiday.) I hate to ask others for help and/or to clear up insurance problems that should not be an issue! I ended up just leaving 2 easy messages.

.deleted all sent calls on my tracphone (that I rarely use) and deleted a few received ones until I got tired of messing with it. The memory was full and my 2 DS's were texting me and the phone was making crazy beeping noises.

TODO

Hi Wind! It's been fun working with you today on the chat board. This has been my best day of housework in months. It sounds like laundry is coming along for you too!

TaDa:
Cancelled a class I no longer need because my incomplete grade posted as a B
Got the kids up and off to school with smiles on their faces as they left the house
asked BF to help me clear off the stuff that has been on my bed forever... not sure why I needed courage to ask for his help, but people on this board gave me some. Now there is me, my laptop, and my phone on the bed!!! and pillows/blankets etc. that belong there. Big victory for me, now how to maintain it?
flossed my teeth and brushed- its been a while
Ate a healthy breakfast of banana with peanut butter
spent nearly 20 minutes putting my christmas ornaments away
Started 2 loads of my own laundry

ToDo;
Can hear sound of schoolbus... kids are home! Maybe we should clean together before going anywhere fun?!
Look up book clubs for my kids for summer
get dressed at some point

[TheCatsMother]

Good going on all the toyroom cleaning Wind I don't have children but when my nieces and nephews were little I used always to be stepping barefoot on bits and pieces of Lego..... nightmare! Do your children have lots of games like that with little bits that get scattered all over?

Hi Cando, what's today's election for? Well done with the purse decluttering; I keep finding more of those as I make gradual inroads into 15 years of increasing CHAOS! Need to get some system of daily maintenance in place, have you got one going?

Grace I'm SO glad you've moved the stuff off your bed and made space for yourself to be comfortable. Well done getting a B in class

So it's late here, my s as follows:

Blitzed incipient heap of clutter on bathroom chest
Went over red chair & cushion with sticky tape to remove cat hairs
Washed up

No time for s, I need to get to bed!

Nighty night all, Happy WITing

[Ally]

Hey everyone!

I arrived home in the middle of a torrential rain/thunderstorm. The storm seems to be passing now.
Checked email and facebook. Had hoped to see a message from DD, but no luck.
Made and ate some dinner

I'm going to take it easy and then get ready for bed.
I hope to get lots accomplished tomorrow.

[yrwelcome]

Thecatsmother- good job blitzing the clutterpile and cat hair pick up! Sweet dreams

Ally- rest is well deserved after your long shift! Enjoy


Ta-das

short run this morning
hair/makeup for work
unsubscribed from 2 e-mails


To-dos

walk dogs
water yard
purchase paint

[wind]

Thecatsmother, I'm pretty hardcore about legos being kept up in my son's loft bed. Other little things like hotwheels get all over the place, though. Most of the cleaning/culling was old broken toys. My kid just outgrew what I think is a natural hoarding phase thing with broken toys and was ready to just cull. So we got out 3 trash bags of random stuff.

Good work on the run, getting ready for work, and email un subscriptions, yw!

tada:
even more kid bedroom sorting and reorganization and dusting
reorganized kitchen kid craft and school stuff
rinsed off dirty blocks in bathtub

todo:
actually finish day's projects
more laundry
