Tuesday 5 minute challenge

klpmommy · 01-13-2009, 06:21 AM

Alright, let's get started.

And just in case there are some newbies, a 5 minute challenge means that you get up from the computer, set a timer for 5 minutes (or not

) and clean something. Then you come back & post what you did so that this thread comes back in our "new replies" and encourages

us to get up & do more.

putting my goals here really helps me to focus without the HHBC.

Quote:

Kid laundry
Sort through kid (off season) clothes to pack
Put bins of clothing back in correct closets
Shred papers from 2007
Master & main level bathrooms
Fold & put away towels in the dryer
Clean kitchen

klpmommy · 01-13-2009, 06:34 AM

kitchen trash & loaded dishwasher

klpmommy · 01-13-2009, 07:08 AM

wiped down kitchen counters, sink, outside of dishwasher & fridge
all I have left to do in the kitchen is the table & floor

monkeylicious · 01-13-2009, 07:14 AM

i'll play for a bit... have to leave for Bible study in 30 minutes. but then i'll be back after lunch

goals for today (trying to be reasonable - i do know my past performance

)
straighten up entry (empty shopping bags, straighten coats, ...)
take care of clean laundry
bring all dirty laundry down and sort
start laundry
tidy living room, kitchen, dining area
make spare bed for dh (he gets in during middle of night sometime and doesn't want to wake us, but i don't want kids to wake him in morning either)
do meal plan for next week

klpmommy · 01-13-2009, 07:23 AM

cleaned stuff from kitchen floor so I can sweep & mop (probably won't drag the steam cleaner down today b/c dh has already left for work & that bugger is heavy)

I am now feeding kids & we will do school soon

RealLifeMama · 01-13-2009, 07:28 AM

kitchen is done, although it won't last.

Good job, Kimberly! At least know it was done at some point in the day. I always imagine what it would be like if I hadn't at least started from a clean slate.

started a load of laundry
swept kitchen floor
