Sara,
I hope you don't think I'm bailing on you.  I always hope there's a "bolded" message when I got on here from you!  But I need to turn this stupid thing off today.  I absolutely have to get my entire house straightened and at a basic level of clean.  I'll deep clean next week but today I have to get every single thing put away and I won't do that with the computer on.  I actually feel decent for once (knock on wood) so I don't want to distract myself.  I'm sorry!  I know you want to be productive today.  Have a great day and I'll probably be on here tonight or tomorrow.

lol, no, I definitely didn't think that! I actually had the same thought last night.
 
I think I'll print off my list and then try to keep the computer off... it's hard cause that's my 'break' time as I dont' watch tv during the day and I can't seem to get back into reading. So, my sitting time is the computer. BUT, I know that's also a poor excuse. SOOO, hopefully we don't see each other today because we're both working our butts off! lol
 
I want my house pretty spotless before I go to bed tonight so that when we come home late and tired from a 2 hr drive home Sunday night, I can say, ah, my house will be nice Monday morning when the daycare kids come. I'll just have things to unpack (gotta think of  a place where we could unload it all... maybe I'll have dh throw it in our room.)
 
Now, I need to let go of my perfectionism cause I know when I think of wanting my house spotless, I go overboard and think I should have the shelves up in the kids' rooms, empty the 3 boxes of misc. stuff from moving that's in our room, etc etc. Nope... I need to just focus on having the main floor clean and picked up, laundry caught up (not neccessarily put away but it would be nice), bathrooms cleaned, basement picked up (though not organized which I'm itching to do.) Plus, have my food and stuff packed for tomorrow.
 
Ok, gotta print the list and then chip away at the kitchen while the kids are actually playing well!

Well, 7 and I haven't done as much as I'd like to. Kids are hitting nerves with me, just for the heck of it. Timmy is destructo-boy, making everything extra hard for me. Now I know why I don't bother trying to get too much done during the day as he's right there, 'helping.' Right now, I can hear someone making a racket and I believe it's Timmy pulling things out of drawers. yippee
 
I'm going to post a ta da list though really, doesn't feel like much will be posted!
-Wal-mart to get magnetix, choc. for sneaky santa, pb for fudge
-2 more layers done on the fudge, just one more to go!
-2 loads washed and dried
-scooped litter
-swept stairs and wiped them well, got the landing clean so now I can start piling stuff on it since it's right by the front door
-usual kid/school stuff: took them to school, made E's lunch, picked them up, emptied Em's bag and signed stuff, after school snack, etc
-wiped down dr table and chairs, put new table cloth on
-put away some stuff on the island
-wiped down counters numerous times only to make them all messy again
-almost caught up on dishes
-cooked shells
-had fast food for supper :(
-packaged cinnamon rolls and started a box of stuff to take to my parents
-charged camera
-got Delaney to pack her clothes
 
Ok, the girls are fighting now. All 3 kids are battling colds which makes them SUPER whiny. Actually, Delaney gets super whiny, Emily just complains and acts like it's the end of the world when she has to cough and Timmy, well, I think he's just getting it so so far, it hasn't affected him too much but I'm goign to guess he won't sleep too well tonight. Last night, he tossed and turned a lot and would wake up growling but after 5 mins, go back to sleep (we'd have to pat him on the back.)
 
I think I'll post a general list of what I'd like to get done and work away.
