Hmmm, are there points for putting away clean dishes? I haven't been counting that. :think

Y'all know what one of my favorite things about this HHBC is? Doing my daily totals in rainbow colors! :giggle It looks so pretty! :heart Alright, slight derail. Carry on with your cleaning.

[arelyn]

I used to love my rainbow of points but I stopped doing it when our computer died and we had to switch to the iPad for Internet. It just wouldn't cooperate. But today it let me make my totals red so maybe I'll go multi colored next week. It's more fun that way!

ooh, just now seeing that Challenge 3 is 100 points per kid. :think Do we claim it each time we do it? Or is there a max for the week?

[backtobasicsmum]

I know it's the wrong week for the challenge, but I cleaned my oven yesterday! :)

[justbreathe]

I really, really love these challenges. :D I've always been too intimidated to join one until last week but I should have been doing these all along.

Y'all. When I do chores . . . I get points! :cheer That is *amazing* to me. Around here, no one notices if I scrub the floor, or clean the windows, and no one ever pats me on the back for having "mama time" or "quiet time". :no This is so much fun for me!

[easygoinmomma]

:hug I am glad you are enjoying. When I do these it reminds me to take "me" time and to try and have some "quiet" time.

So I lost track of my points once thursday hit. It has been busy at our house since then. However tomorrow is monday and dh will be back at school so we will be getting back into routine. :)

[arelyn]

I totally lost track of points but that's ok. I'm in it for the motivation and it works for me!

[justbreathe]

weeeeeelll, if everyone else lost track, i'm certainly not going to post my total. :shifty:blush

i'll just go back to pretending that i'm not a total cleaning-psycho now. :bag

I kept track of mine, but being the newbie, I'm trying to follow everyone else's lead and not draw attention to myself. (And you totally beat me, anyway!) I have enjoyed keeping track of everything this week, though; it really helps me stay motivated!

[easygoinmomma]

Come on ladies, post your totals!!! I wanna see. I think I would have had a good total this week since I stay up two nights until midnight cleaning. :shifty
