Ta Da List 10.11.09

The last 2 weeks have been completely insane around here, and the housework has suffered greatly. I got to come home from work early today, so I've got basically an extra day off this week to work with. Hallelujah! Soooooooo much needs to get done! I'm feeling kinda green around the gills today, so hopefully once I get up and going I'll feel better. Babysteps. :) I'm hoping to get a lot accomplished. Maybe not everything on my ta da list, but it's just a guideline. It would be nice to mark everything off, though, hehe.

I've allowed myself to slip into a kind of funk this week. What with my aunt still being in the hospital (had 2 stints put in her heart on Tuesday and other problems have come up since then) and working all the time, I've barely been home. When I've been home, I've been in bed. My sleep schedule is all over the place, so hopefully I can make until at least 6 tonight without a nap so I can sleep through the night tonight. Anyway, on to the ta da list...

Bedroom
1. Clean off the desk.
2. Take out the trash.
3. Wash bedding.
4. Remake bed.
5. Clean off the other flat surfaces.
6. Put away shoes/clothes/random stuff.
7. Sweep.
8. Mop.

Bathroom
1. Wash, dry, fold & put away one load of laundry.
2. Swish and swipe.
3. Sweep.
4. Mop.
5. Put up new shower curtain.

Kitchen
1. Clean off counters.
2. Shine the sink.
3. Put away stuff that doesn't belong there.
4. Sweep.
5. Mop.

Once I get all this done, I might venture into the baby's room and see about doing something in there. That'll just be a bonus, though, hehe.

What a week... Ta Da List for 10.04.09

So I wrote the other day that my aunt was coming home from the hospital yesterday. She did, but she wasn't even home 20 minutes before she was rushed back to the ER because she couldn't breathe and had an irregular heart beat. Josh, mom and I were at the hospital until almost 11pm last night, and they admitted her again. *sigh*

We came home and I slept until 1pm this afternoon! I guess I needed it. When I woke up, Josh was up and getting ready for work. Mom's at the hospital with her sister right now, so I've got the house to myself. Mom and I went through some of the boxes of Christmas decorations that had been cluttering up the carport Friday night and now our kitchen looks like Christmas Town or something, lol. While it's quiet, I think I'll get some work done.

Kitchen
1. Wash dishes.
2. Put away Christmas items.
3. Wipe down counters.
4. Sweep.
5. Clear off the table.
6. Fold and put away clothes.

Bathroom
1. Swish and swipe.
2. Sweep.

Bedroom
1. Wash bedding.
2. Remake the bed.
3. Clean off the desk.
4. Sweep.
5. Put away clothes/random stuff.

Happy October!

Happy October, everyone!

I absolutely love this time of year. Here in Alabama right now, the weather is starting to turn pretty chilly. We've had lows at night down in the 40's! This is also the time of year everyone in our home starts getting the sniffles. My youngest nephew, Tylar, just got over a combination of the flu and walking pneumonia. The poor little guy was simply miserable! Josh's asthma has really been bothering him, too. He finally got his new Advair in (the 500/50), so hopefully that with his Singulair can help him not have such a rough time while the seasons change. This is one of the roughest times of the year on him when it comes to breathing, so anything we can do to make it easier on him, I'll do.

It's been a truly crazy week. Monday, we had to put my aunt in the hospital. She should be able to come home this Monday, the doctor's hope anyway. She's still being watched, though. I was luckily off Monday and was able to take mom to the hospital with her sister, since mom can't see to drive after dark, but I didn't get in bed until midnight that night. Not getting hardly any sleep+work every day=I'm exhausted! I took about a 5 hour nap today and am starting to feel better, but this not getting any sleep thing while being pregnant just isn't working too well, lol. I'm working on getting to bed earlier, and I am, for the most part. But when something like that happens, what can you do?

I'm keeping the house picked up pretty well. There's a load of laundry sitting here that needs folding, and it may not get folded until tomorrow, but hey, it'll get done. :)

I guess this was just an update on how things are going. Hopefully I can get into a routine of posting here more regularly soon!
