The week really got away from me. After all of that holiday cooking and entertaining, all I wanted to do was slack off on Thursday and Friday. The house is a mess though, and something has to be done about it.

James is at work a bit today, and the kiddos and I are at home. I think I’ll start tackling some of this clutter, and maybe get to that neglected laundry pile too.

On the agenda for the weekend:

• Put away eight loads of laundry
• Wash another eight loads of laundry
• Clean the litter-box
• Tidy up downstairs messes
• Start taking down Christmas decorations
• Make a storage plan! I need a better way to organize Agnes’ room, the boy’s room, and all of the seasonal clutter that hangs out in the scary closet.
• Empty all of the trash cans, upstairs and downstairs
• Finish cleaning up all of the dishes from Christmas. I’m about 1/2 way done with this chore.
• Clean my desk. There are piles of unsorted school-work, unopened mail, and lots of things that just end up on my desk making a cluttered mess.

I think that sounds like a pretty good start. Now I’m off for another cup of coffee, and to get started on this list.
