Default Thursday 5 minute challenge

If you see this thread in "new replies" then get up from your computer, do something to bless your home for 5 minutes, then come back and tell us what you did.
You only have to do 5 minutes at a time!

I did really good Tuesday, but was a total slacker yesterday. So I need to make up for all the napping and reading I did yesterday.

To do:
ammo cans
fold towels
put away clothes
bathroom
finish vac and steam vac den
finish shaving moomoo
brush mia
load of dishes

Default Re: Thursday 5 minute challenge

I'll play.
DD and I are working on our pantry today.
I could not find the peanut butter, so I started removing things. She said "oh, mommy, are you organizing the pantry? Let me do it, I am good at organizing things. "
So, we took everything out, and now it has to go back in.

The rest of my list:
CLean bathroom I did not get to do yesterday
vacuum living room
vacuum hallway
run dishwasher
unload dishwasher
make chicken casserole
work on N's room
work on dining room table (our biggest hotspot)

I'm sooo in. I looked for this earlier but wasn't feeling motivated enough to start the thread. Thank you, Charla!!!

My list:

quick walk through and tidy of the house
vacuum all floors
swish and swipe of bathrooms
inventory of exercise equipment (needed for a personal trainer who will be helping dh with some rehab-after an injury he had 5 pins put in a heel last spring )
decide on an area in the house and do a throrough top to bottom cleaning (so many rooms need it, but realistically I can do one today)
make a menu plan
send out invites to A's birthday parties (one family, one little friends)
decide on and prep dinner

Oops, I should have said, "Thank you, Lily!!!" in my last post. For some reason I thought Charla started the thread when I posted. In any case, thank you ladies for keeping me motivated!

Oh yeah, I e-mailed the inventory and now on to the less exciting items on my list...
