I'm afraid to look ...
The worst part for me of making lists is looking back at them ....
it's not that I don't work on them ...
but I rarely get anything to the "cross off the list" point.
deep breath ... yesterday's list ... I'm afraid to look ...
here's the key:
worked on but not done
done enough to call done
...
at least 2 loads of laundry, washed, dried, folded, and put AWAY!
- I washed and dried 3 loads, but didn't fold any of them
folded backlog all put away
- I put away towels, kitchens, and ours ... but just put the kids' laundry near their rooms ... did not follow up to see if it was put away ...
shovel out and organize the boys' room with them
- they got it well cleared out, so the room is ready to be vacuumed and put back together. But all the *stuff* is semi-sorted into piles, baskets, and boxes in the hallway and needs to be gone through ... today being park morning and shopping afternoon, I'm not sure if I'll get it done today or not.
- I did by a storage 3x3 cube thingie and some cute totes which hopefully will help with the *keeping* the room clean and organized. I'll try to get that set up later today.
shovel out and delete blog spam backlog
- I did some but there's yet more. I need to get to installing the whatever thingie The Grand Lunar told me about ...
* feed family several meals
- as long as ordering pizza (well, asking the Grand Lunar to) for dinner counts
* remember to eat, dress, and shower
not on the list, but I also:
went shopping for some clothes, organizing stuff, and groceries, and put most of those things away ... that took more time than I thought ...
chatted with the real life living person neighbor
hm.
I think I'm really a half-done sort of person.
I hope I'm not boring you with these lists. Is it better to babble about my productivity efforts than not blog at all? I added some bold and italic text to spice it up a little.
Oh well, today is a park day, I better get moving. Park in the morning, returning ill-fitting items to Target in the afternoon.
What do you have on the agenda for Tuesday?
Have a good day!
Posted by Kim at July 31, 2007 8:07 AMToday? Let's see. We finally got paid, so I can get some food in the house, that's always nice. We've gone through our schoolbooks for the first time and made lists of things we need for science experiments and the like, I'll pick up some of that today, too. (Our school starts 8/1 this year.)
To get the dining room table ready for school we need to hit it with the steamer, same with the bench and chairs. Since the pantry is so empty, this would be a good time to organize it and sweep it out well. Might as well hit the fridge with the steamer since the fridge is empty and the steamer is warmed up!
And Tuesday is bedroom day, so we'll change and wash some sheets, vacuum and continue organizing that space.
Posted by: Peggy at July 31, 2007 9:48 AMThis is one day that I do NOT have an agenda for! I didn't get into bed until 2a.m., so I didn't get out of bed until 10a.m.! Day was 1/2 shot! I have gotten a few groceries and figured out what I am doing for supper. I will probably get the clean laundry put away, but that is just so I can get back into my bed tonight. (The WonderHusband is on a laundry mission!)
Posted by: Theresa at July 31, 2007 3:35 PMSounds like you did a nice job on your list. I know it might not be as much as you would have liked, but it's still progress, right?
I wimped out on park day today...going to be too hot! I'm not a real big fan of temperatures higher than 80, so I'm saving my going out in the hot weather for Thursday morning's park day.

Posted by: Linda at August 1, 2007 12:09 AMI listed my accomplishments for Monday on my blog. I included 2 loads of laundry but one load is still in the dryer tonight. I'm kind of a half done person a lot of times too.

Posted by: karencze at August 2, 2007 1:52 PMI'm not doing anything productive today. I started to get productive on Monday, but something came up and now I'm at a complete standstill. I have kept up with laundry and cooking though. That's something. :-)
I miss your daily musings. And I'm praying for you. (((((((((hugs))))))))
Posted by: Shari at August 2, 2007 3:07 PMPark Day! Now that's my kind of day.
YOU are a great mom.
I didn't find the Pumpernickel bread here on your blog. If you don't have time to post it - I totally understand, dear Kim! Hugs, Robin
