phathui5 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Go put away five things that aren't where they belong, then come back and tell us what you did. Or do five short cleaning chores and come tell us what you cleaned. Then you can do it again, and post again, and do it again... If we all do something, we'll feel better. A little bit, anyway.

KidsHappen Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I took a load of laundry to the laundry room. Started a load of laundry. Wiped down the bathtub. Carried some dishes downstairs. Picked up all the things the kitten has knocked off my desk, again. Feed the cats, the dog and the fish. Changed the cat litter. Wow! I really don't have much to do as I have been really busy the last few days. Everything is currently picked up, put away and pretty tidy. I am even caught up on money, bills, filing, and paperwork. :001_huh: What I have left involves moving furniture, packing items away, deep cleaning or painting. These are longer term projects that are happening little by little. Oh, and I still have to do grades and attendence for this past year and register and plan for next year. That can wait until the end of the month. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
