Update

Ok, so I haven't done the 'lists' post in two weeks. Expected, right? Well, I actually DID make lists for myself (prior to having our little boy), and since I'm weird, I actually did most of the items on last week's list (note... it was rather short, and most of the items were laundry anyway, and since said son creates a lot of dirty laundry and we didn't have a lot of clothes for him to wear, I had to do laundry regularly. I remember this being harder with my daughter, however...). Oh, and the previous week? Got it all done (except mother's day gifts for some reason)

So, my challenge for last week would have been to clean things you normally wouldn't in your bathrooms and laundry room. Suggestions: bath matts, shower curtains, run a cycle to cleanse your washing machine, things like that.

To Do: May 9-16
  • sweep
  • vacuum
  • mirrors
  • laundry
  • exercise (went on a few walks)
  • farm books
  • personal books
  • meal plan
  • bath baseboards/trim
  • dust bathrooms
  • dust laundry room
  • scrub tub (this is what started me doing this list. M needed a bath, and I took a look at the tub... blech. It doesn't take long to look rusty)
  • sinks
  • toilets,
  • wash shower curtains
  • wash bath matts
  • wash office blankets
  • wash cup/toothbrush holders
  • scrapbook
  • clothesline
  • run vinegar/baking soda through washing machine

And now, for this week.


The challenge is to clean extras in your bedrooms. Things like all the pillows/bedding, curtains, vacuuming under the beds/furniture, etc. I will also include the items I didn't finish last week... you know, in case I ever get around to them this week.


To Do May 16-22 (bedrooms)

  • sweep
  • vacuum
  • bathrooms
  • laundry (we're up to 4 loads)
  • exercise (tues, thurs)
  • farm books
  • personal books
  • scrapbook
  • meal plan
  • baseboards/trim in bedrooms
  • dust bedrooms
  • diaper pail
  • flip mattress
  • vacuum underneath furniture in bedrooms
  • wash curtains
  • wash ALL bedding
  • vacuum spare room
  • organize a little in spare room
  • clothesline
  • run vinegar/baking soda through washing machine
  • gardening (did 1 hour on Wednesday)
  • write letter to Gospel for Asia child

Ok, so I know I'm crazy even making a list shortly after having a baby, but to be honest, I need to feel like more than a milk producing, dishes doing, toy tidier. And naps? I only really have one opportunity during the day for that (and that is right now, and hubs is napping in my place, which is fine, since we have our son's first doctor's appointment shortly and I am in charge of waking everyone to get there on time).

Anyway, that's all for now, folks! Now to update my Project 365 and stuff. That one will be cute! Baby pics, anyone?

Now I SO want to do a newborn photo session with my one week old. Has it been a week already? How time flies!

You give me hope that I will be able to get a few things done after baby is born. I remember feeling so overwhelmed and useless after Pk was born - your list gives me hope!
