Accomplished Today...

Well, I didn't manage to get everything done that I wanted to today. I meant for the kitchen to be completely finished. There are still a few larger items that need to be washed, but it won't happen tonight. I think the pilot light went out on the water heater, and that will have to wait for DH to come home and take care of. I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to lighting pilot lights! LOL I'll check in about half an hour to see if the water has heated up from the girls' baths, and if it hasn't, I'll go down to the basement and turn it off.

So I have accomplished my morning routine, my afternoon routine, and my evening routine. I have also managed to work in the kitchen zone most of the day. Washing dishes, cleaning counter tops, taking out the trash, etc. And of course, I started this blog! LOL I also got several loads of laundry washed, dried, and put away. There is one load that I will have to rewash though. DD9 thought the blankets in one of my baskets were dirty, and she dumped them in the floor to mop up some spilt water. Needless to say, I wasn't too happy about that!

If I can manage to actually complete the kitchen this week, I will feel like I'm getting somewhere. Once it is finished, it will become part of my daily routines of making sure that everything is wiped down every evening. I've managed the sink since the first of the year, with only a few slip-ups. Mostly from not having any propane for about a week. And I didn't feel like heating water on the stove. So I was lazy about it. Of course, I'm the only one I hurt with that. And I refuse to let it happen again. The sink part that is! No garantees on the propane issue! LOL

I've actually done the WHB (Weekly Home Blessing) twice this year so far. It really made a difference. I didn't get to it this week. DH was home yesterday, and it just didn't work out that I had the time to get it done. He'll be home tomorrow, but maybe I can work around him. I know I need to at least get the hall swept. The dog is shedding really bad, and her hair gets into the return vent. For some reason all her hair winds up in the hall where the vent is. So I need to get that cleaned up. I may wind up having to make it part of my everyday routine once summer gets here and she's shedding more.

For those that wish to follow my blog, please note that on the days that my DH is not working I may not update till late in the evening. Since we no longer have the satalite, he gets on the computer as soon as he gets home, and pretty much stays on it all day. Unless he decides to either go take a nap or go do something else, I have no access! And he calls it a boat anchor that isn't good for anything! LOL

I hope that everyone has a good night. I'm about to get off here, finish getting the girls in bed, and call it a night myself. I've been up since 5:30 and going strong all day.
