I spent the month of January deep cleaning my entire house. I mean really cleaning, drawers, closets, baseboards, blinds. I got to throw away alot of stuff and that makes me happy. Now onto my goal for February: figure out how to use my camera.

This my family at Lori's wedding. I am pregnant in this picture, but only like 10 weeks. I would like to blame the angle, but I think that is just as good as it gets for me.

Goal for tomorrow:
Watch the DVD that came with my camera
Spend some time taking pictures and playing

Goal for today: DONE
Finish deep cleaning the kitchen

This is my niece Caitlyn. She feel asleep on Brett on Christmas Day at my parent's house. This looks like a very sweet picture, except Caitlyn is very, very, very clever. My parent's basement on Christmas Day was HOTTTTTT. The one person who would be extra uncomfortable with a snugglie baby asleep on their chest would have been Brett. And that is just who Caitlyn wanted to hold her. Well played Caitlyn, well played.

Goal for tomorrow:
Master bedroom

Goal for today:
Brett's company luncheon

January 26, 2012

Shhhhh, this is the most magical moment at my house. I have to hurry because I have to get everything on my to-do list done before this little boy wakes up and want me to play trucks. Again.

Goal for tomorrow:
Clean more cupboards in the kitchen

Goal for today and yesterday: DONE
Kitchen cupboards and closet-all out of date/disgusting food removed, shelves wiped, outside polished, reorganized.

I am grateful for all of the teachers in my children's lives. It is not a profession I would want, but it is so very very needed. So I applaude you underpaid, overworked people. The summer off does not make up for all that you do. Thank you for making each day special for my children and teaching them the things I can not. To be honest sometimes helping them with their homework is enough to make me want to stab myself with a No.2 pencil.

Goal for tomorrow:
Clean kitchen closet

Goal for today: DONE
Get Ava signed up for dance

January 11, 2011

Please, please, please, please sleep tonight. I know you have been sick, but I can't take it anymore. I love you, but you are making me crazy. Like only putting mascara on one set of eyelashes and running errands crazy.

Goal for tomorrow:
Get both girls to the dentist without causing a major scene.

Goal for today: DONE
Disinfect the girl's bathroom

January 10, 2012

How did you get so old? How did you know that tonight I was having a hard time getting Carter to sleep and that I needed you to wipe the kitchen counter after your snack, put way your dishes in the sink and take your little sister upstairs, read her a story and go to bed? Wow. . . . . Sometimes time flies.

Goal for tomorrow:
Actually organize the girl's bathroom

Goal for today: NOT DONE
The girl's bathroom (But I did get Carter a big boy bed and get it all put together and the baby furniture out of his room, so the day wasn't a total loss.)

We are getting pretty good at cleaning up throw-up around here, pretty dang good. Who said there is no crossover from stay-at-home-mothering and molecular biology. That bio-hazard clean-up class has come in handy more than once or twice. This little boy has not felt good lately, on the bright side we have done a lot of snuggling these past few days.

Goal for tomorrow:
Deep clean the girl's bathroom and playroom

Goal for today/last week: DONE
Disinfect Carter's room
Organize financial information from 2011
Don't mess up Ava's special day at school

January 5, 2012

As I am sitting here it is 9:32. My baby is still not asleep and I have not organized my financial information from last year. I did not do this while Carter was asleep, like I had planned, because this little girl wanted to do a puzzle. A big girl puzzle with lots of pieces, so we did. And it was way better than looking at old bank statements.

Goal for tomorrow:
Get my butt ready and to the school for Ava's special day by 10:30

Goal for today: To be determined
Organize financial information

January 4, 2012

See that innocent little boy on the left? Yeah, he's not so innocent. He can climb out of his crib when you think he's asleep, sneak up behind you and stay very quiet until you turn around, scare you and make you pee your pregnant pants. Not innocent at all.

I made popcorn balls today. I have made carmel popcorn before, but never shaped it into "balls". I don't espically like having sticky hands, so this probably won't happen again. Oh yeah, I made 40 popcorn balls. As far as working out today. . . . I did a Dancing with the Stars DVD and forever put to rest the question of where Grace got her dance ability. Stubborness yes, ability to move to the beat no. I really liked when Ava came home from Kindergarten and told me, "Mom, I don't think you are doing that right. Are you trying to do the same thing they are doing?"

Goal for Tomorrow

Organize 2011 Financial Information

Goal for Today: DONE

Popcorn Balls
Work out

This is the BOX of garbage from cleaning my girl's two rooms. Yep, that is old school work, clorox wipes and "treasures". Don't judge me because I am a not a "keeper" and please don't tell my kids I threw away their alpha-friends. I washed their bedding, dusted all the furniture and knick-nacks, went through their closets, clorox wiped blinds, dusted ceiling fans, vacuumed the edges of their rooms, wiped based boards, and dejunked closets and under beds. Special thanks to my mom for helping me and teaching me you can't measure love by the number of elementary school art projects that get kept.

My goal for tomorrow:

Make some popcorn balls
Actually work out

My goal for today:

Clean girl's rooms-DONE

My goal for tomorrow:

Organize Grace and Ava's room.
Clean out closets
Deep clean room
Reverse treasure hunt to the garbage

My goal for today:

Convert old desk to a bookshelf.
DONE!
