Day off of Busy

I am feeling a little overwhelmed today and I don’t know why. My house is a mess and not matter how hard I try I take one step forward and three steps backward. Yes, three not just two!

Accomplishments today:

I picked up all the trash in the girls room. I don’t understand how they can just throw candy wrappers and garbage all over their room and just leave it! Pigs!! The other stuff that was all over the floor that is not throw away trash is all in one corner now. They have a job to do when they get home from school. I should vacuum the area that I can.

I dusted in Dick’s bedroom. Yes I keep my clothes in there too but I don’t sleep there so it is his bedroom. He never dusts or vacuums in there! I try not to do it. I can let it go for only so long.

* I got distracted!*

During my distraction I vacuumed Dick’s bedroom, the living room, the girls’ room, and the little hall. I took the trash out to burn and wiped one counter top and the dining room table. Country living = very dusty house all the time! Ugh! I just can not keep up.

Another distraction ~ but since it is now Friday and I started this entry Thursday, I can not remember what distracted me. Wait…I do recall what it was…laundry and a ton of it.

I try to make the kids do some of their own laundry hoping that some day that they are going to catch on not to throw clean clothes all over the place. They can get it into the washer and dryer but then it sits in the basket. I try to leave it and tell them to get it done. They listen like a rock!

I still want to get the spare room shoveled out so that I can have my own private space!

I did not finish writing what I had gotten accomplished! Something had me buggered that I was cleaning like a mad woman, almost like nesting but I never did figure it out!
