Maybe everyone wasn't quite done like me :O We had a playdate yesterday morning and had to make a quick run to the hospital so I didn't get much but the daily stuff done yesterday. I just finished my bonus from yesterday and am taking a break Off to finish the challenge before I post that it's done :shifty - I amclose to being done but need to check the for "stickies"

As far as ideas and looking aroundmy house, here is what i need to do
*dust
*vaccuum
*change sheets
*inspect walls for "yuckies" and clean (I don't "wash walls" but only wash dirties. I have been skipping this lately when I clean)


I'll keep thinking and be back when I'm done with the challenge to update :phew I am so thankful for this challenge right now - It's keepingme moving on my house instead of sitting around being grumpy :blush
