Some of you may notice that it is Monday and I've already accomplished most of Tuesday's cleaning. There is a reason. Tuesday is going to be an extremely busy day around my little neck of the woods. I need to accomplish voting, the Girl Monkey's parent-teacher conference, stop at the bank, take the Girl Monkey to the Y for swimming (and get paid as I'm helping out! YEAH!), head home, eat lunch, pick up the Boy Monkeys from school, head to piano lessons, take Monkeys home, head to a meeting at the Boy Monkeys' school, and then there is an exhibition basketball game. See, very little time to clean. I will still have to find time to change the sheets, but I think I can accomplish this at some point. Not to mention light laundry and the normal dishwasher needs. At least I hope I can get this all accomplished in my few moments at home tomorrow!

Thursday 9/30

Happy Thursday!

I know, I know. I've been busy cleaning, working, taking care of my family, dealing with a very crazy dog, and trying to get ready for Monkey-2's birthday. I have been cleaning and making the house a livable place, but I just haven't been blogging. Which is mostly because I don't have all the time in the world.

Today I accomplished:

• picked up the basement
• vacuumed the basement
• emptied the dishwasher, refilled the dishwasher, will wash while I'm sleeping
• dark laundry ~ washed, dried, folded, put away
• vacuumed my bedroom

Tomorrow is Monkey-3's favorite day at preschool, Wheel Day! So she will have a wonderful time on her scooter at school. The boy Monkeys' will have a wonderful day at school too I'm sure.
