This is the Working in Threes Thread (W.I.T.)
EVERYONE IS WELCOME, especially if you've never posted before!
The guidelines are simple:
- Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing.
Once you have 3 things done, post them here
- Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again..
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, you are in the right place!
If the next 15 minutes consists of:
- Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash
. . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE - DOM !!!
You could post:
Ta - Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers
Then your To - Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those three to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da!
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM!

JudeJude--Great job on laundry! Welcome to Halfadozen & Plinko. Plinko--that's okay that you didn't start right away. At least you realizedd it and admitted it. Now, is a great time to get started if you still haven't yet. Please remember, you don't have to do the things you listed...it can change as you go. Drinking a glass of water counts... Also, you can break down your list into baby steps... Like put one piece of trash into trash bag... etc. Syzygy--great job scooping twice in one day!!! and washing stuff from last night. Tadas: 1)put away hand-washed stuff from drainboard 2)washed dishes 3)unloaded my van---all the left-0ver snacks, drinks, ice chests, coats, blankets, camera, etc from yesterday's big event. My DS's EAgle Scout project.--my DS would have brought it all in, but he is working on the write-up & lots of homework.... He did carry in the water & he will be carrying in the hydrolic lift. Todos: 1)put stuff from van away---where I don't know.... 2)get treat bag ready for puppy 3)take puppy to Petsmart for more food CD
