Wonderful Wednesday 5 min challenge *with goals*

klpmommy · 01-07-2009, 05:44 AM

You know how the 5 min challenges work, right? When this comes up, get up from the computer & do 5 minutes of cleaning. then come back & post what you did to

us into doing more ourselves b/c this is in our "unread replies".

I wanted to add a "goals" section today. If you have anything you know you need or want to work on today, post it in your first post. I am hoping that without the HHBC this will help me to focus some.

I sorted laundry, started a load & folded a leftover load of towels from Monday.
I also spent an hour trying to nurse a tired S into a nap.

She is so tired but not succumbing to sleep

monkeylicious · 01-07-2009, 07:15 AM

did some online library stuff - i really love my library and how much i can do online (renew, search, place holds - and it is the whole county, so lots more books available through!) i have Screamfree Parenting and the 5 minute artisan bread cookbook coming! and there are 2 copies of ames' your four year old at my local right now - so when i go pick up, i'll also be getting that!

Katydid · 01-07-2009, 07:16 AM

Ate breakfast while searching online for cake ideas for ds.... off to get dressed....

klpmommy · 01-07-2009, 07:36 AM

thanks for the reminder, renewed library books online

monkeylicious · 01-07-2009, 07:43 AM

dishwasher emptied and dirties put in/ also soaking a few glasses that came out dirty

monkeylicious · 01-07-2009, 08:09 AM

sorted through 2 drawers of coffee table (storage for toys)

RealLifeMama · 01-07-2009, 08:21 AM

Began tidying kitchen.

Boy, I am so, so behind! I had a few things on my list from Monday, and I did not do any of them, nor did I get to them yesterday, because I had a sick toddler that only wanted to snuggle on my lap. So sweet, and I relish snuggle time, but I could not get anything done, except the urgent things.

Today at home:
Unload dishwasher
handwash dishes
load dishwasher
wipe counters
sweep floor
mop floor
vacuum downstairs
fold and put away laundry (4 loads

)
When out:
Send bills
Since you all reminded me- return library book
Deposit checks at bank

started diaper laundry
cleaned main level bath, *including* floor

chased S a lot while trying to do HS with P&E I don't know whether to

or what!!!

Blue Savannah · 01-07-2009, 08:58 AM

Okay, so five minutes doesn't go as far as it used to these days

But I've emptied the dishwasher, started two loads of laundry (I was so tired last night, I forgot to put ds' diaper on him!!

AND he slept ON TOP of the bed. I have to wash everything!! And we're getting a new bed tomorrow, and I have that bedding to wash too.

Anyway, my goals:

keep the house tidy
clean the office/pay bills
wash bedding
recover rice packs
dye something
play with kids
go see my BFF the chiropractor

avoid anyone who looks like they might say, "HAVEN'T YOU HAD THAT BABY YET??????"
make dinner or pull something out of the freezer
call representatives about the stupid laws they like to pass.

This is a good job for a cranky pregnant lady.
