Yesterday, I got my kitchen cleaned, I made bread and banana bread (so I didn't have to throw out the bananas). I got the front room and the family room cleaned, but not vacuumed.

Today, I am need to vacuum my downstairs and the stairs. If I can get the upstairs cleaned, I need to vacuum that as well. So my projects today are to get the laundry put away that is in my room, pick up in the babies' room, clean my bathroom, and clean out Makayla's room, putting some of her toys into storage.

I'm dressed, and my hair is done, so now I need to get my makeup done and get busy on my chores!

Tough week

So my week has been a bit harder to get into than I hoped. I really haven't done much at all, and my house looks like it. Today is cleaning day. I've already gotten dressed, make up done, and hair done. It feels good when I get complements just because I've actually done something with my hair besides a pony tail. I've also gotten my kitchen cleaned. I need to clean off the table, but it isn't full of dishes, and I need to sweep the floor. I'm also hoping to get the front room and family room clean and vacuumed before the kids get home. Hopefully Holden will cooperate in that mission.

So yesterday I didn't get all that I wanted to done, but I got extra stuff done. I bathed all the kids and while I was in the bathroom with them, I got their bathroom cleaned, even the floor! I got the ENTIRE kitchen cleaned, just have to sweep and mop today. I started the laundry, I have to finish it today. After I get the laundry off my floor, I will vacuum the house (or I may wait until tomorrow as we are having family over for dinner on Sunday.)

My reward today, is a scrapbook retreat with my friend Leslie Varner. She has a condo up in Midway that we are spending the night at and just scrapping for 2 days!!! I'm so excited to go for this much needed break! Thanks Austin for allowing me to go and being willing to take care of the kids for me while I'm gone!

Now I'm off to get ready to start my day. Shower, dressed, hair, and makeup! Then it is off to the store to stock the fridge and pantry, and then all the other chores so when Austin gets home I'll be ready to GO!!

Today my goals are to get my laundry done, folded, and put away, clean the family room and vacuum the house, and get my menu and shopping list done for the week. I need to find a sale on diapers because we are on our last pack, and with 2 kids wearing them, a pack of 30 goes pretty fast.

If I have time, I'd like to list a few more things on ebay. The stuff I listed earlier this week already has bids on it. Anything that I can do to bring in a little extra money is needed.

Goals

With spring trying to get here, I decided that I want a change for myself. I want to spend time EVERY day making myself pretty. I want to do my hair, not just in a ponytail. I want to wear makeup. I want to lose weight. I want to feel good about who I am. I have decided that I get 1 hour to myself every morning to make myself feel pretty!

Today is day 2. I got dressed, did my hair and make up. And it feels good! Just because I stay home all day doesn't mean I have to look like I stay home all day!

husbands

I was going to say something about my husband in this post, but then I remembered the words of someone (an apostle, maybe) that said you should not talk bad about your spouse to your friends (I don't remember the exact quote, but I'm recalling snippets). So all I'm going to say is that when I'm not home for dinner (but I'm the one who prepared it), why can't you clean off the table? At least the food that will go bad? That's all I'm going to say about that!

Music Study

So, tonight, I made the easiest $60 ever. I sat in a room for 2 hours listening to snippets from 600 songs. They gave me an envelope that contained $60 when I left. That is 1 1/2 chairs for my new dining set that I'm trying to gather. I hope I can get in on more studies and make some more easy money!
