Monday 5 minute challenge

klpmommy · 01-12-2009, 05:36 AM

OK, back to this again. I so badly need this, too!!!

So, get up, set the timer for 5 minutes, clean something & then come back & post what you did so that this pops back up in new replies which makes everyone get up to do more in their house.

And if you want to post goals today, please do so. I know I will be.

i've had to redo a load or two after evie has changed the settings

they would either have alot of fun together ... or teach eachother new tricks

made and cleaned up after breakfast - gigi helped sweep up the cheerios!
emptied dishwasher and put dirty dishes in - evie helped... and then climbed on the door

did some reading for my Bible study and feel i was reprimanded...
Proverbs 14:23 In all labor there is profit,
But idle chatter leads only to poverty
think maybe my messy house that i am unhappy in/with is my poverty

I just realized how much I love the goals for the day. Making that list and then getting to cross off something, gives me so much more satisfaction than just listing what I have done.

Mental note to self: Start making lists...

klpmommy · 01-12-2009, 06:33 AM

Evie & S would likely teach each other new tricks to keep their moms on their toes even more than before!!

cleaned microwave & top/outside of stove

01-12-2009, 07:02 AM

So, for today (not all housekeeping, I know, but I can only have one list at a time!):

30-minute tidy downstairs
10-minute tidy upstairs
Laundry - 2 loads + finish 2 from yesterday
Empty d/w - Reload d/w - Run d/w when full

I have to rave about my new steam vac! Daddy got it for me for Christmas and it rocks my sock drawer. Mom got one 10 yrs ago - same brand, older version than the one I have. It lasted 8 yrs before it gave out. You should have seen the junk that I got out of carpet... it was so gross and strangely satisfying.
