Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes.'

He told me to get off my fanny
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse.

I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my work..
I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops
I found a real absorbing site.
That I got SO way into it
I was into it all night.

Nothing's changed except my mouse
It's very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess...
While I sit here on my hiney.

Today's To Do list

I've been up since last night around 7pm. I started studying at 3am and finished about 11am.

Posted this on a message board around 11ish.

I've also done several loads of laundry, folded and put away (mine at least). I have a couple loads left.

I have stripped my bed and need to remake it. I should wash my blankets, but then I will freeze during my nap. My room is usually around 45-50° so my blankies are a must.

I have a long list of stuff that should be done:

1. I need to finish up the dishes and vacuum.
2. I also need to straighten up the kitchen table and my computer area.
3. Ideally, I need to watch up some stuff on the DVR. I try to catch up on that when the weekend hits.
4. I should go out and work on the snow blower so I don't have to shovel.
5. I should throw stuff in the bread machine so we have bread for sandwiches and snacks. I also need to try that whole wheat recipe out in addition to the regular stuff I make for kiddo.
6. I should pull out a turkey from the freezer so we can have it next week. We love turkey around here and never get enough of it.
7. I should figure out what to make for supper. Maybe another tater tot hotdish as kiddo scarfed up the one I made Thurs. I also need to make soup before my veggies go bad. I'm not in the mood tho'
8. I need to do bills

Most of all I need to study some more.

This is what I've accomplished thus far (approx 4pm):

1. bed made
2. dishes done
3. laundry nearly finished (1 load in dryer and 1 in washer)
4. decluttered table
5. turkey in fridge to thaw
6. first floor vacuumed
7. 1st loaf of bread started

I think I am done with the possible exception of watching stuff on the DVR. That is if I don't fall asleep :)

Tackle It Tuesday

My job for today was to vacuum out the van. It's needed a good vacuuming since our vacation in July. The dogs traveled with us and it was full of hair and dirt from camping equipment. DONE!
