All The Messes

Wow, my house is a mess today. I was sick for exactly one day, and there is so much that has to be cleaned and laundered. I’ve already strayed from my monthly menu too. I was running a fever last night, and feeling like death warmed over, so hubby went out and picked up dinner. Thank goodness 🙂 I have so much to catch up on today, so here is the plan:

  • Wash at least 3 loads of laundry (I have 6 that need to be done)
  • Put away 4 loads of laundry
  • Wash dishes (every surface in the kitchen is covered in dirty dishes)
  • Empty all of the downstairs Waste Baskets (all are overflowing with tissues)
  • Make Baby Wipes
  • Take out the Trash

I’m feeling so much better today, and the boys seem to be too. I just hope that James doesn’t get our awful cold 🙂

Lists and More Lists

I didn’t get the shopping done yesterday, so I’m working on my local shopping list today. I’m putting the finishing touches on my November Menu, and making a To Do List for everything that I need to get done around the house this week. I’m also planning on making a run to Aldi (maybe today) to stockpile some pantry items, so I need to make one more list. It sounds like a lot of list making to me 😉 It helps me out though, I’m a little forgetful.

What about you, do you make lots of lists too?

Rainy Monday

I swear I pick the most awful time to get all of my errands done. Today it is raining and freezing outside, and we are out of all of the important necessities in the house. The shopping must be done today, I don’t know how much longer the last box of tissues is going to hold out.

Here is the plan for today:

  • Shop at Walgreens
  • Shop at Wal-Mart
  • Go to the Post Office
  • Bills and Balance Checkbook
  • Phone Calls for Hubby
  •  Empty all waste baskets (upstairs and downstairs)
  • Take out the Trash
  • Clean out the litter box (super-yuck)
  • Wash 2 loads of Laundry
  • Put away 3 loads of Laundry
  • Stock Hubby’s Office Fridge

We’ll see what I get done today. I’m going to try and stay ahead of the weather. Happy Monday to all 🙂

To Do Today

Yesterday I spent all day in the kitchen, and I have the dishes to prove it 😉 I’m going to be cleaning up a lot in there today. Last night I ran out of time and energy, so I didn’t get the 3 loads of laundry put away that I needed to, so that is moving to the top of the list.

Here is the plan for today:

  • Put away 3 loads of laundry
  • CLEAN THE KITCHEN!!!!
  • Go to Walgreens
  • Go to Dollar General
  • Sort through all of the boy’s clothes and get them in to bins (we had a cold snap last night, so it is time to get out the cooler clothes)
  • Wash 2 loads of laundry
  • Empty all of the wastebaskets
  • Take out the trash, and take the trash cans to the alley

Let’s see what I get done today. I had better start with the laundry while the boys are being quiet 😉

Catch-Up Tuesday

I was only gone two days and the housework is piling up. It seems like everyday I get a little more behind, and a little more gets added to the list. I hope to get these tasks accomplished today:

  • I have got to tackle the dishes in the kitchen
  • The laundry all piled up in the Utility Room
  • I need to empty all of the wastebaskets and take out the trash
  • Stock hubby’s office fridge
  • Get gas and a little spending money for James
  • Put away 4 loads of laundry
