February 28, 2007 - Wednesday: Cleaning Day

Ok, I know that Wednesday is not an optimum cleaning day for most, but as I was considering my schedule, I realized that it was probably best.  Thursday is our town day, and that works out best for us with how the ads arrive so I can plan for that.  Friday, we do alot of baking. Plus, it doesn't mess up the school rhythm as much for us.  So, that's how Wednesday came about.  Which actually we do cleaning each day, just an extra hour of deep cleaning is added on Wednesday. 

Warmly, ~Melissa
