[RealLifeMama]

Just saving my spot ;)
We have company coming, so I will have lots of tasks that don't count, like dusting, vacuuming, changing the air filter, making food, etc. So, I don't know how much of this I will get to. The powder room at least, I guess.
I went ahead and crossed off the bathmats and shower curtain because we have neither.

DH did notice! He said "Wow, it is really clean in here. Thanks for cleaning up. " I told him it was a task for our challenge and he said "I like this forum! Spend lots of time on that one. Forget about all the others. :P "


545
I just could not get to the shower. I might try to do it tomorrow morning while I am in the shower, as that is usually when I would clean it.
But the rest of the bathroom was nice. DH was home for hours before he went upstairs. I was in the laundry room, but I heard him exclaim "WOW! This is awesome!" when he walked in there. He complimented me on the kitchen again tonight, also. He said "wow, honey, two nights in a row! Keep it up." :lol

Again, my total was 545

:lol I hope you reminded him that it's partly his fault that you're in Cradled ;)

And, do you know how my DH noticed? He walked over to the stove/counter to get a knife to cut some pie for dessert & noticed the knife block is now besides the cutting board (genius!) on the opposite counter, so he says, "Oh, you moved the knives." :/ Yeah, that's all, just the knives. Didn't touch anything else. Not one bit. :giggle

Saving my spot for tomorrow. I have a appointment early in the morning so I'll probably only get to this tomorrow afternoon. :rockon

I do have one question though- Do we get extra points for EACH bathroom we clean, or is it total points for all bathrooms (maybe you clarified that adn I missed it? :shrug)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[KatieMae]

You get points for each PART that you do - each toilet is 30pts, each sink is 20pts, etc. It seems like a fairer way to give points :)

Here's a question, though. If I manage to sweep the floors, but don't mop them, can I split the points for that task and take half? :scratch

Oh, and thank you very much for the consideration being paid to pregnant women! ;) I appreciate it! :)

Focus on the positive. ;) Dh might've said something similar, which would have resulted in a snarky comment from me. ;)

[klpmommy]

I think I remember last year getting some points for 5 minutes of kitchen maintence. Will we get that this year? I really like my kitchen today, it felt so good to walk into the cleanness!!

[schmamy]

YUCK! I hate bathrooms. I have noticed the tub is getting gross, though...my automatic shower cleaner :shifty is broken and I really do think that thing makes a difference!

Do I get extra points for taking the shower curtains down and washing them (that's a HUGE pain, but needs to be done)...or maybe that would just be laundry points? :think Only one bathroom at our house, so I can't earn very many points, but I'll get to work.

I agree it felt SO good to walk into my sparkling kitchen this morning!

And, speaking as a non-pregnant woman...I think ladies over halfway through their pregnancies should get more than 25 extra points for scrubbing their tub floor--that job is a GIANT pain when you're not pregnant at all, let alone when you've got a huge belly in the way! You've got my admiration if you tackle that :hug

[Rea T]

Marking my space, I'm glad today is bathrooms, although I'm short on time today.

DH noticed the kitchen and pointed it out to the children. . . "Look what Mommy did and how nice the kitchen looks now!" :)

Then, he cleaned the downstairs powder room! We are having company, and he uses that bathroom a lot.

I can catch up on challenges later right? I work all day today and tomorrow but had planned on a MAJOR cleaning day on Thurs when I don't work. And I might need to do that a lot. I work full time and I have a half-hour commute, so by the time I get home, I'm not up to much. If I can do several challenges on my days off, though, that'll work out.

[KatieMae]

I think I remember last year getting some points for 5 minutes of kitchen maintence. Will we get that this year? I really like my kitchen today, it felt so good to walk into the cleanness!!

Well my qualification for Shiny Sink points at night is that all your counters, stovetop & sink are wiped/rinsed clean, so that should help quite a bit. I plan to be in the kitchen every Monday though, to keep it under control :yes



Do I get extra points for taking the shower curtains down and washing them (that's a HUGE pain, but needs to be done)...or maybe that would just be laundry points? :think

That's on the list :yes ... cuz I need to do the same thing :shifty



Question - can I throw bath mats in the washing machine?

Yep! But wash them by themselves or with only towels - they tend to make a lot of lint.



And DH did notice the kitchen and the other stuff I did yesterday. I went to my LLL meeting and came home to flowers. Yes, flowers! He took DD to buy me flowers. :heart


DH noticed the kitchen and pointed it out to the children. . . "Look what Mommy did and how nice the kitchen looks now!" :)
(I do get points if he does stuff, right? I thought I remember reading somewhere it can be a family effort, but if not, I'll take my bathroom points so far away.)

You two win the "best compliment" awards - no there's no blinkie for that! :lol And yes, family members can & should help us accomplish these goals :tu



I can catch up on challenges later right?

Yes! :) Try to do the daily's though, since you can't make them up later. Any challenge or bonus can be made up anytime - when you do a make-up, post the task & points in the *current day's thread* to be sure that I see your post :yes

For the 5 minute participation, can it be something on the list of things to do today? (Like, set a timer for 5 mins, clean the mirror, and get 55 points?) Or does it have to be something else?

[KatieMae]

The 5-minute challenge is an all-day thing, so you get 50pts for coming back between chores to tell us what you've done (and, it bumps the thread into everyone's Unread posts or New Replies so we're reminded to do more!) But yes, definitely use those 5 minutes to do chores on this challenge, or other things you need to do around the house - toy tidy, sorting mail, paying bills, making a phone call you don't want to make - things like that.

[lumpofclay]

:cool OK, cool, I didn't realize I could use the 5 minutes from this challenge to accomplish stuff on the list. I'm off to do a 5 minute! :tu

You are kidding, right? All this cleaning is my exercise. I am feeling it today, that's for sure! :P

[Anani]

Nope! I got my walk in this morning and have kept cleaning (and of course, playing here) but I haven't found time to actually do my exercise video in the past couple of weeks and am now excusing it by doing the challenge. :giggle

I just found out that I'm not going to be hosting Thanksgiving like I thought I was and I'm kinda bummed. :( I was looking forward to doing it and had already started making menus, etc. Now I feel like I've lost my determination to clean. I need some motivation - what reasons should keep me cleaning?

You mean you did the Daily's? Usually you have to post THAT DAY to get credit for Daily's, but I'll give you a pass this time since this whole thing is new - so go ahead & post on Monday's thread & I'll add it to the list.

#2 Do you prefer that when I add a task on for the day that I just quote my original post and point totals and update the total or something else?
It's best if each person has just one post where they're adding up points. So, the post of yours that I quoted here - go back to it & you'll see an "Edit" button on the upper-right of your post; click that & just update what you've done :)


EVERYBODY NOTE:
I'm going to update the Points Totals list each day at Noon... after staying up WAY too late last night trying to get it updated while several of you - in other time zones - were still working :crazy :lol So, you have until Noon EST to get your point totals done from the previous day. :ty

Can I just say how much better my home looks compared to Sunday before I started....and it's only been two days. :woohoo This is such a great motivator cuz since my kitchen and bathrooms look great, I didn't want the rest of the house looking horrible...so things are starting to get picked up.

Now if only we got points for eating/cooking dinner at home (and for taking vitamins), then that would really help me. :bag

:giggle Me too :yes. And points for flossing would be good too :lol.

My house is looking GREAT :rockon. The kids room and playroom are even looking somewhat decent, I made my bed yesterday and today (it hasn't been a habit at ALL the last few months) and everyone has fresh clean sheets :rockon. It's funny how doing the stuff for points extends to doing other things too (that don't normally get done!).

[Countrymama]

Alright...I don't think I am on the list yet but I just joined today! :)

[Niphredil]

I'm *just* now back from getting groceries :phew and I'm so far behind on points! You ladies worked hard!

[klpmommy]

I am *exhausted* from all the cleaning I did today in the bathrooms. Tomorrow I need to: clean the kids' tub, sweep the main level bathroom, mop all three bathrooms & do the basement half bath completely. :phew

AND, when I got done putting the kids to bed tonight instead of heading straight for my favorite place (here) I took care of the main level bathroom (I didn't have time earlier) & cleaned the kitchen. :woohoo And dh tonight said again "the house is looking really good." :dance

[CakeLady]

And dh tonight said again "the house is looking really good." :dance

[charla]

So I want to know after todays bathroom cleaning, am I the only one tempted to do one of the following:

A. Take a warm, relaxing, bubble bath in a clean candle lit bathroom with the door locked while hubby babsits kids...or...
B. Ban future use of the bathroom...so it stays clean, you know

Hmm, I can't decide...

[KatieMae]

A. Take a warm, relaxing, bubble bath in a clean candle lit bathroom with the door locked while hubby babsits kids...or...


I wish I could take a bath, but I never feel like it's clean enough to sit in the tub - no matter how much I scrub it. I know it was once pink around the edges & I can't forget about it :sick The last time I took a real soaking bath was on our honeymoon! :jawdrop

[klpmommy]

B. Ban future use of the bathroom...so it stays clean, you know



ITU. It really makes me upset that as soon as I clean a toilet *someone* has to poop. :sigh

[mom2threegirls]

:giggle

I LOOOOVE taking a nice hot bubble bath after cleaning out the tub :yes. I think I may have to do that tonight :rockon.

Either 340 or 370, if a pottychair counts as a toilet.
Oh! Plus 20 because the kitchen stayed clean. I'll forego the potty points because the actual bowl is somewhere in the backyard, so I just did the stair part and seat. But thank you, BlueS!
So 360. Am I supposed to add it to yesterday's thread?

If so, I'm at 733.

Points for me for the day -

Shiny Sink! 20 pts
Laundry - 1 in the washer, 1 in the dryer, 3 folded & put away x3pts ea = 24 pts
1 hotspot = 15 pts

I also scrubbed down the shower walls while I was taking a shower this morning, but I didn't do the actual tub part, so I won't claim the points for that until I get it actually finished on Thursday.

So 59 pts today.
