Greetings everyone! I have had a heck of a past couple of weeks... family emergencies, car problems, etc. My house has barely been holding on... and some areas not holding at all. This is my effort at reclaiming the areas previously decluttered. Most specifically, laundry, living room and the kitchen. Starting with... today. Or tonight, rather. Wednesday Evening:  Unload dishwasher Load dishwasher Fold and put away laundry on top of dryer Place laundry in washer Fold laundry in dryer Find clean clothes for everyone for tomorrow  Clean up any puppy messes New puppy pad in DDs room Get dirty laundry out of DDs room Complete one of Utter's challenges (The FOOT challenge. Socks are in the washer!) Complete another of Utter's challenges (The CLEAR challenge. Cleared off the dryer, and cleared the hanging clothes to their appropriate closets!) Miscellaneous Stuff DD's bath Read DD a bedtime story. Got her tucked in, and feeling good about the day. Talked to mom about ill uncle. He is off the ventilator - YAY! Ate a small baked potato with TONS of broccoli rather than the leftover mac & cheese. Set up my new blog/journal. I miss my old SS one! |

Hi, Skatters. It will be so much easier to re-claim those areas due to previous decluttering. You can do it! Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope things are going better now.
