[monkeylicious]

what are your housekeeping goals for today? add them here and cross off as you finish (and of course we can cheer each other on :cheer )

[monkeylicious]

fold mount clean laundry
clear off kitchen counter (maybe even free it from the usual clutter pile)
excavate for the far end of the kitchen table (half is usually covered with ... stuff)
minimize stuff on buffet in dining area
sort through cupboard with crackers/snacks/cereal... and toss stale food
take pics and post to get organizational ideas from my GCM buddies!

[KatieMae]

Alriiiiiiiiiiight, a list! :rockon

First, I'll be gone for a while - Trip to Stride Rite & SuperTarget (stick to the list, stick to the list, stick to the list :giggle)
Morning trip did NOT go as planned, Target was done (only what was on the list :tu) but no new shoes - maybe we'll go next week :shrug
Sew four basket liners
Clean DS bathroom
Clean M bathroom vanity & toilet (tub too, if I feel like it)
Scrub stains off of kitchen counter (a COUS)
I probably have laundry to wash, I haven't looked :giggle

and...
IRONING :sigh (It's not even a lot, I just hate it so much :hissyfit)

i've started on the table/buffet and i also got our crockpot meal for tonight going (gigi has dance right before dinner) evie is still not asleep - she nurses and then is refreshed for a few minutes... and then we start the whiney - i'm an overtired baby process all over - i really need to work on her nap routine :blush

[RiverRock]

Monkeylicious, I hope you can weather the day. I am a hormonal wreck and I have a grouchy 5 yo. at the moment. On some level I can relate. :hug2 I'm going to try to zip through a few more things on my list so I can at least be "company ready" because we have some favourite cousins from out of town visiting the area for the weekend. I want to be welcoming whenever they happen to show up.

[monkeylicious]

thanks jessica :hug evie's predicament is my fault as i was content to let her fall asleep nursing and hang out with her while she slept... now she is too easily distracted :rolleyes

it looks like you are doing a good job on your list! i hope you'll enjoy your time with family!

Scrub stains off of kitchen counter (a COUS)... decided to make this part of my upcoming kitchen declutter/reorganize project, so it's off the list for today.

[richesabove]

what is a COUS?
:giggle sorry, prolly a dumb question :blush

[Niphredil]

COUS is chore of unusual size - something big and nasty that you don't want to do. See the post on the dread chore challenge here in the forum for more info!

[richesabove]

gotcha!!
well I have LOTS of COUS that loom over me....like my bedroom closet getting sorted...now that i have a newborn everything that goes in the basement for storage I just stick in my closet so I don't have to go down to the basement :blush one of these days will be the "day of reckoning" though

[Niphredil]

Hey when you have a newborn everything is off the table - that's sheer survival mode! :hug
