okay, here goes:

 

picked up over 100 things

scrubbed stovetop

filled dw with rinse agent, loaded dw including stove burners and started

rebooted laundry

sorted remaining bedding into 3 piles (5 loads of bedding - yikes!)

sorted socks

helped kids with homework, signed c's agenda

 

i'm exhausted.  i really need a whole overnight of just cleaning - that really helps me this time of year.  things are really starting to build up!  i'm not ready to do heavy cleaning yet - every time i think of it i think how i'd have to redo it but i probably should go ahead and do it anyway in case we all get sick or something later.  i hate waiting to the last minute but i also hate things getting messed back up!  i'm going to make a list for this wknd - my MIL is coming for "making christmas" weekend.  cookies, tree, movie, hot chocolate, etc.  man if it wasn't for my MIL's visits, would my house ever get cleaned up???
