Good job, laundry partner! Let's keep plugging away... I am grumpy, so I can't be more inspirational at the moment.
Done: 1. Sorted the laundry into four piles: black/brown, white/cream, red/burgundy, blue/green. I own too much clothing. Too much linen. 2. Took three loads worth of clothes to basement and started the red/burgundy load. 3. Cleaned 3 litter boxes and put some fresh litter.
1. Emptied the inside and top of the dryer of the last washed loads of clothing/linen from weeks ago!!! I have too much stuff. 2. Moved all the clean laundry onto the laundry table. There are about three loads to sort and fold. 3. Moved red load into dryer. Started white load.
1. Sorted through a small pile of doll/baby clothes from the "Flood of 2008". I had been avoiding it, but am now prepared to deal with the stuff. I threw out five doll outfits and a few other items, and think my mum can possible restore the rest. 2. Gave a quick cursory sweep of laundry floor. 3. Brought upstairs: a handful of clean, damp clothes to hang, plus two empty laundry bags, plus dirty cat litter bag, plus handful of clean towels to fold.
To Do: 1. Hang damp clothing. 2. Fold towels and put them away. 3. Take blue/green load downstairs and bring a fresh armful of laundry to sort and fold.

Thanks for the support. I hung a clothesline in my carport and put a big comforter on it so I feel like I have 'done something'. The clothes don't seem to be rotting, so it should make it until tonight when he can help me after the kids go to bed if he isnt too tired.
TADAS cleaned 1 of 2 guinea pig cages loaded and ran dishwasher checked through clothes and started a load hung a line and put a comforter on it
TODOs put all the clothes by the door so it is easier to get them done get laundry out of my room and sort the rest of the clothes into piles throw away 10 things

Hi! Cando
thanks for the welcome. You may have noticed I haven't been around here too much. I've been so busy and then feeling *** tired that I haven't done much around the house. But I see you've been keeping up. Fantastic!
To everyone else you're all doing great!!
It's always inspiring to read what everyone is doing. It gives me the little push I need to actually do SOMETHING.

OK, still probably spending too much time on itunes, but I'm doing other stuff too I guess. (((don't freak out - just 3 things!)))
TaDa: - hung up clothes from washer - put new load in washer - read a story to nephew for nap (he and his sister live with us) - made lunch for 3 kids - organized more itunes songs
ToDo: - fold laundry in living room - put clothes from washer into dryer - put new load in washer (((stop thinking about how many loads left - just do one more))) - sorry I had to talk to myself there

I think you're doing a great job, Jude... You're getting quite a lot accomplished, and getting your music organized if part of that process. Don't feel badly about it.
Done:
Okay, first off... metal downspouts are a LOT harder to saw through than I had imagined. I had to lay down on the ground, and lean hard, to get enough power to cut it! And I almost gave up!
1. Disconnected downspout by hammering and crushing the end piece right off. 2. Sawed and sawed and sawed the remaining piece, so I have space to place the tube/connector. 3. Attach the plastic corrugated tube, and place the splashpad at the other end. Let's see if this helps during the spring thaws this year. I still have two other ones to disconnect.
1. Emptied washer and put items in dryer. 2. Started load of darks. 3. Brought more items upstairs to hang dry, plus some more towels and tshirts to fold. Folded everything that needs it. 4. Wet wiped tv room floor (lots of cat hair in the corners).
To Do: 1. Clean bathroom. I repaired the broken toilet this week, so I feel proud when I see it. 2. Take blue/green load downstairs. 3. Hang all items that need to air dry.

Thanks mellowyellow I just have to say that tackling gutters and sawing down spouts, etc - that is crazy cool. I can't ever imagine doing that. That is way way ambitious! - put washer load in dryer - put new load in washer - made dd mac-n-cheese - started chicken soup for dinner - brought laundry hamper back up to bathroom - dumped some food out from the dishes on counter ToDo: - fold clothes in living room - fold clothes in dryer - put new load in washer I'm trying to look at it like I am only "allowed" to do 3 things, because I always want to list more than 3 things I have to do next, but then I start to panic a bit. So I try to tell myself that I'm only "allowed" to do 3 so I have "permission" to stop after 3 if I want.

Todos: 1)15 min. decluttering Office in a Bag (that thing has been so heavy & hard to zip the zippers -- I'll be moving it from the EAting ARea into the Office of Doom when I'm done)... 2)fold/hang load of laundry 3)put that load away CD

TADAs I swept the porch and made the bed but I haven't dealt with the rest of Mt Washmore. How do we generate so much laundry? ? I think I'll have washed every stitch of fabric in the house when all is said and done. I made pumpkin bread from some of the pumpkin, and put the rest of the first batch of cooked pumpkin in 1 cup portions in baggies in the deep freeze. The 2nd half of the first pumpkin is cooling and draining now getting ready to mash and measure out and put up. Having anxiety building up as it is getting closer to time for the kids and DH to get home from their activities today (3 hours from now). I don't know if that is the cause or if it is just part of the depression I am in right now. Also gave my long haired guinnea pig a line cut (shaved his belly and cut away hair that drags through the bedding and gets dirty around his backside) and have picked up the bedding from an animal I have placed into another home. I still have to sweep up the rest of his mess, and then mop in there, but I'll get to it. TODOs unload dishwasher load dishwasher still need to move clothes to get them easier to load in van for drying.
