Okay, my dh is home today, and doesn't quite understand my need to play this game. ;)

Here's what I've done, five minute chunks:

All Christmas decorations down and put away
Living room tidied (twice so far)
Dining room tided (twice)
Breakfast, lunch dishes/kitchen cleanup
bathroom scrub down
made bed; tidied bedroom
dd cleaned off the table in her room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
two loads of laundry in the works
hot spots
sorted some mail

I think that's it! Hubby helped me with the Christmas stuff, so it only took a few hours. I was SO glad for his help today. :heart :heart :heart He has the kids out, so I'm going to tackle the fridge/freezer now. :) So much easier without a 2-yo's help!! :giggle

Okay, I cleaned the freezer, top of fridge ('cause you know I'll be needing to climb up there before too long :giggle), top of freezer out in garage (a catch-all from the car), and I went through my shopping basket. :phew

That is all the major housecleaning projects I wanted to finish today. I may still check in for maintenance. :)
