I’m a little late posting my to do list for today, we have had a busy day already:
*Visit hubby at work, and take him breakfast
*Wash 2 loads of laundry
*Wash and put away dishes
*Put away 3 loads of laundry
*Clean out the fridge and freezer
*Clean litter box
*Fill dog’s auto-feeder
*Go shopping for groceries
*Give Thade a haircut
So much to do and so little time to do it all. Better get back to it while the little one is taking a much needed nap!
For the past few days I have been working on a homemaker’s journal. A close friend “M” told me about hers and I thought it sounded like a great idea. Mine so far has a list of my monthly menus,shopping lists with coupons, B-B-Q list for the 4Th of July, and a cleaning schedule. I’m a little stuck on the cleaning schedule… If you have any ideas, please feel free to leave me a comment. Here is the list of areas that I clean:
Utility room/downstairs bathroom- Day to clean:1,14,26
Kitchen- Day to clean:2,15,27
Dining Room – Day to clean:3,16
Living Room- Day to clean:4,17,28
Foyer – Day to clean:5,18
Stairway- Day to clean:6,19
Upstairs Hallway/ Stockpile Closet- Day to clean:7,20
Hubby’s Office/Closet – Day to clean:8,21
Upstairs Bathroom/Closet- Day to clean:9,22,29

I have assigned each area a day of the month that I can clean, along with my everyday picking up. I’m open to suggestions to make the job easier. I hope that this helps me out with the cleaning around here. I need all the help that I can get…
Yesterday my mom visited, and watched the boys for me. I got some projects done around the house. I got the first coat of paint on the dining room walls under the chair rail, and part of the upstairs hallway painted too. Both of the projects are looking good, but I’m so sore today from all of that painting.
On Saturday my mom and I took the boys shopping. We got to go to my favorites Walgreens and Aldi. I did such a great job at Walgreens I have to share my list and savings with you:
4 12 packs of Coke products for $11.00
2 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios, and one box of Lucky Charms for $7.00 + I had a $1.00 off coupon
2 boxes of Kleenexes for $.89 each
1 Soft Scrub cleaner for $2.50 + I had a $.50 off coupon
3 2 liter Coke products for $3.00
3 3 Enviga Green Tea for $3.00
2 Palmolive Dish Detergent for $.99 each
4 Huggies diapers size 2 Jumbo packs for $5.24 each!!!!
Grand Total with tax $53.46, with the Walgreens sales, coupons, and my coupons I saved a total of $37.06!
Dylan and I went to the doctor yesterday, and all was well. Dylan is growing fast, and gaining plenty of weight, another 2 pounds to be exact. The only bad part was that Dylan had to get 4 shots. The poor little boy was up all night with very sore legs. Thade was up too with a very stuffy nose, the pollen count is so high here. The boys have one tired mommy today, I think I got about 3 hours of sleep.
It is raining like crazy here today, but I have to get out to the post office and Wal-Mart too. Maybe dad will watch the boys while I run errands.
Here is my list for today:
*Wash and put away dishes
*Go to the post office and check p.o. box
*Go to Wal-Mart, pick up meds
*Wash 3 loads of laundry
I think that is all I have the energy for today.
