Anyhow, to give you an idea of the chaos that is my house:
- There is a bicycle in my (narrow) hallway. (Done. Moved it out to the back deck.)
- The kids' chore chart board still has March 30th as the date on it. (Done. I just cleared off the whole board. Might try a different chore system, actually.)
- There is a bicycle by my front door. (Done. Moved it out to the back deck.)
- There are two laundry baskets of clean clothes behind my couch.
- There are clothes on hangers on our overflow rod in my entry way that need to be placed into closets.
- There is a LARGE TJ Maxx tote of paper recycling on my dining room table.
- There are four bags of cans on my back porch waiting to be taken to the recycling center.
- There are still baby toys everywhere. (Done. Picked them up and put them all back into their little baskets and back onto their shelf.)
- The playpen is still set up, even though I won't have Babycakes until this weekend (since Oralee has strep, we don't want to take any chances) (Done. Packed it up and put it back in the box.)
- I have tools siting on my favorite wingback chair (and my tool bag is UNDER the chair). (Done. I put the tools into the bag. Bag is still under my chair though. It's tucked away, but conveniently located)
- I haven't seen our breakfast bar in months. (Done. It looks so nice and neat now!)
- My kitchen counters have only about a quarter of their usable space.
- Every flat surface in the house needs to be cleared off and wiped down (minimum). (Hubby's main desk area - not the hutch portion- is done, my table where I sit is done, the cedar chest is done, the little side table is done. I also go the extra desk chair cleared off, the bar stools, the wingback chair, the recliner and the couch finished up.) I still need to do the hutch part of Hubby's desk, the surface part of Hubby's desk (again! - he really doesn't pick up after himself!) :), and the armoire yet.
- There is a mountain of laundry to put through the wash.
- Oh - and I need to get my refrigerator cleared off and cleaned out because we are getting a new (to us) one this evening. (Done. Hubby and his friend went over tonight to pick it up. They brought it back and we got it all set up. I got everything transferred over, but now I have a new problem - I have my old fridge sitting in the middle of my kitchen now! I just can't win some days! I guess that's why there is always tomorrow, right?)
