Week Six, August 2009

This week marks a sort of milestone for my cleaning schedule. So far I have tackled the front bedroom and hall; the guest room; my "girl cave"; the living and dining rooms ... all of the rooms (except the bathroom, which gets weekly routine cleaning and will get detail cleaning later) that are in the air conditioned part of the house.
The plan was to get to the rest of the house when the weather is cooler. In actual fact, it's just as hot in September as it is in August. But, since I have to be done by October, I'll just have to get hot!
(bears on stair landing) I can't make the text and pictures stay where I want them, so this might turn out odd looking! LOL!
Anyway, I am satisfied with my progress to this point. While everything didn't get done when I thought it would, it is now done. I have cleared all the clutter that was sitting around, dusted (including pictures, ceiling fans, baseboards, etc) and vacuumed.

Another part of my plan is the Christmas notebook, and planning gifts and projects. Since there is at least a remote outside chance of family members reading this, I will not go into any detail on this. Suffice to say I have made a lot of progress on 2 different projects (other than sewing), and am making slow but steady progress on printing Christmas cards.
(what do you do with empty cheese boxes and a "blank corner?)

Next weekend was left "open", and we are going out of town to help celebrate my parent's 65th wedding anniversary (and Daddy's 92nd birthday in 2 more weeks). Over this next week I will do some mending projects to take to Mama, and continue printing cards.

Since I have finished the cleaning that needs to be done to this point, tomorrow I will get in some serious sewing, begin some baking lists, and finish laundry. Oh, and mop the kitchen floor ... I couldn't do that this morning (when I planned to) because of an unexpected "guest" ... baby sitting our "grand-dog", a big boxer named Sugar. She's gone home now, so I can mop. :)
