I think my goal for today will be to put a dent in my disaster of a basement.

[Pilgrim]

Can I join at this point?

[easygoinmomma]

Of course.

[Pilgrim]

Yesterday, was a 260 point day. Not bad.

I would like to clear my kitchen counters and table down to normal today. We have lots of counter space and it becomes the dump and sort area. Also, finish laundry--I have a lot of clothes to fold and put away.

[Pilgrim]

Ok, at midday I have:

Bonding time: 100
Set Cleaning goal: 25
Did some dishes: 20
Did handwashing dishes (knives, cast iron): 20
Did a whole load of dishwasher dishes: 20
Each Step (Wash, Dry, Fold, Away) 5pts * 6 = 30
Bonus for each completed load 5pts
Swept Kitchen floor: 50

270 at midday! Yay! I have cleared and cleaned about half the kitchen countertops. This afternoon, I should tackle the huge To Be Filed pile that consumes a quarter of the kitchen island.

[easygoinmomma]

I didn't do anything today. The boys asked if we could go into town and do some fun things. So we did that instead. Now I need to figure out something for supper.

[easygoinmomma]

Todays goal: Wash windows!

[Pilgrim]

Today at midday I have 380 points! I'm using the Motivated Moms app that has a daily checklist. That and accumulating points is helping me a lot. Plus, my little one has swim "lessons" in the morning this week and it is making naptime very regular and LONG! Woohoo!

[easygoinmomma]

I am looking forward to swimming lessons. Neither of my older boys nap anymore, but it might make bed come earlier. I plan of finishing up my windows today and then I might work some more in the basement. It depends on the weather. If it is nice out I might plant some stuff instead.

[Pilgrim]

Totally jinxed myself by talking about regular naptime! Today, he was not interested in napping after swim because he slept in this morning.

So today, at midday, I have 150 points. I will get a few more in a minute after my break, but it is now peak hours for electricity usage so I will only be able to get things loaded up and set for this evening.

[easygoinmomma]

Other then the regular stuff I only washed two more windows.

[Pilgrim]

285 at midday today. Not bad. Today is a heat and air quality advisory day, so I need to plan some indoor activities when the babe wakes up. Looks like a good day for bathtub paint while I scrub the sinks and toilet, lol. It's 109 out there with a few more degrees expected this afternoon! Hello, summer!

[easygoinmomma]

I would love some of that, but it was quite nice here. 27 C, but cloudy. I need some sun! I worked outside for a bit, did some laundry, dishes, nothing too exciting or anything with major points to it.
