Getting Things Accomplished

I have been busy and am thrilled that I am crossing so many things off my to do list. I have accomplished many things this week and am quite glad.

My list for this week looked like this:

~~Wash windows in bedroom~~

~~Iron and hang new curtains in bedroom (not really new but different ones)~~

~~Clean ceiling fan in bedroom~~

~~Clean bathroom~~

~~Clean bathroom ceiling (we need a fan in our bathroom and the ceiling gets pretty bad after a few days of showering)~~

~~Dust living room~~

~~Wash living room floor and add wood protector~~

~~Vacuum under coffee table, couch, desk and hutch~~

~~Shake area rugs outside~~

~~Wash all laundry, fold, put away and iron~~

~~Wash all the curtains that were taken down and put away~~

Clean kitchen

Clean entryway

Clean shoerack

Wash kitchen floor (scrub is more like it)

Grocery shopping

~~Library~~

Bargain Shopping ( I went to CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid~all had good sales this week. They are all on the same street in my area so it isn't difficult to reach each of them. We did this right after leaving the library, which is close by.)

Pick up some craft supplies to finish some orders

I hope to get all the rest done tonight or tomorrow. It will be nice to have all this accomplished by the weekend. I really need to get a Home Binder made. With all of this accomplished I really want to tackle this next week. I need to purchase a binder and look for some nice graphics to get me motivated. My greatest area of struggle is meal planning. I am hoping to make a monthly menu and just rotate those meals with some small changes during the month. Then I can shop for the bulk of what I need monthly with just small trips to the market weekly. I will post pictures when I get this accomplished.

Unfortunately, I am the worst person at taking pictures. I forget to bring my camera almost everywhere we go. I get so upset for forgetting it. I only remember when we arrive. I guess I will need to make a sign to put with my purse "Will we want the camera when we go out today?" Maybe this will help me remember. I forgot it last week for the hayride and for a field trip we recently took. The field trip was wonderful and I had hoped to take many pictures. I was organizing it and it was a little stressful and I forgot all about the camera. I see so many blogs with wonderful photos documenting their fun times and I always feel terrible that I won't have these for my children. I need to make better use of that camera. Maybe I could attach it to me, somehow, maybe in a fanny pack. I'll put it on as soon as I get dressed. LOL~I need ways to remember to document these precious days we have together because before long they will be all grown up.
