To do List

I've lost track of what week this is. I'm simply worn out from this weekend. It was my first weekend with Russ's family without Russ there. He's my buffer from the crazy that is his family and this past weekend at my sis in law's  baby shower I was without my buffer! haha. I do absolutely LOVE his family but they're...loud and um...a lot.
Anyway, so there's a lot to do and basically all I did today was go grocery shopping. That's it. And tomorrow I work late and then go over to my mother's house so not a lot will be done tomorrow either.
So who knows when I'm going to get everything done, but.... oh gosh I'm already exhausted.
1. Do the dishes
2. Unpack
3. laundry
4. Meal plan
5. Go through family pictures
6. Clean out the car
7. vacuum
8. Make freezer meals: Ravioli

Tuesday is my day.

It seems like every Tuesday, I'm up and at 'em and ready to work. That is the day I get stuff done. Tuesday is my day. It's a good day. It's also the day Biggest Loser is on which is my FAV show and I go to my mom's house and we watch it together.
I don't know why every other day of the week is so much harder for me. The weekends are really hard because Russ is home and I want to play with him all day instead of do chores. Mondays are hard because I so often work that day and let's face it, it's Monday. Wednesday, I've normally worked so hard the day before that 1) there's not much to do and 2) I feel like I get a little break. I don't know what happens on Thursday and then it's friday and it's almost the weekend and I'm lazy and well, I just don't. But Tuesday, that's my day. (oh. plus I hardly ever work on Tuesday. But of course I work on that day next week!)
Hmmm....
Not quite sure how I'm going to remedy this.


P.S. I'm at my father's house right now and the only letter on his keyboard that's rubbed out is the N. Weird? The rest are fine. Completely whole and clear. Yet the N is totally gone, rubbed off, blank. What's he typing that has so many N's? I mean I know it's a common letter but more than S? There's an S in his first name. More than R (also in his name) or T? Nope just the N. Funny. Now of course I'm totally aware every time I press the N key.

Yay really productive day!

Yay! I got a lot done today. That makes me happy! I:
got the spot up off the bathroom cabinets. I had no idea how dirty they were till I wiped them off. So I took a picture of my new magic eraser after I washed the cabinets.

Gross huh? Yup. I also:
did all the dishes. (i'll take them outta of washer tomorrow!)
Took out 1 bag of trash. We missed trash day last week (I absolutely hate that! So our big trash can is overflowing. I'm not sure what we're gonna do for the next 3 days)
Did 3 loads of laundry including the sheets and my work uniform. I folded and put away only 2 of those loads...
OOO and I found a place for my robe. I hated the idea of getting those hooks to stick on the door (like the last one that didn't really stick!) so I got one of those hooks that go over the door. Now my robe has a home. Finally.  see:

 Went to the grocery store
found a spot for the shoe boxed I can't bring myself to throw away
put away the little things that I've been collecting in one of those said shoe boxes
put russ's laptop bag away
made one of my old pringles cans into a change cup
vacuumed
bought insoles and cut them to the right size and put in my work shoes
returned netflix
Went to the DI and gave away a box of donations
Put movie case away
Put disney scene it away

And I went to the gym. And I went to my parents and talked to my mom for hours! And I even slept in. What a good day!!
I think the specifics were good. It made every task little and seemingly doable. Yes the list was long but look how much I did. And the more I do the more I want to get done. Yes, little simple specific tasks are much better.

Specific to do list

This time my list is going to be specific. My past ones have been pretty vague and not much got done. So my thinking is that if I'm specific about what needs to get done, I'll be more apt to doing it than giving myself some vague reference to something that kinda gets done. So...
1. Get that spot on the bathroom cabinet
2. Refill the water bottles. Put them in the old box they came in but throw the plastic out.
3. Do the dishes. Every single one in the sink.
4. Take out the trash can by Russ's desk and in the bathroom. now mine too.
5. Do laundry: sheets and uniforms
6. clean the toilet
7. Still need to find a place for my robe. (Or...get a new hook to replace the one that broke that use to hold up my robe behind the bathroom door.)
8. Research starting a garden. And by this I mean go to the hardware store and get prices for the supplies and find out what I need and what I need to know and read that article on The Grocery Cart Challenge about compost.
9. Clean out car. meaning: take out all the trash. replace the trash can. bring in all clothes and put those away. and then refill that plastic bucket on my passenger seat and get a cooler like the BL suggests.
10. Go to the bank and get cash for grocery budget
11. find a spot (or purpose) for the shoe box
12. put away all those little knick knacks I've been collecting in the old box.
13. Find old phone.
14. Bring donations to the DI
15. put russ's laptop case away
16. figure out meal plans (including lunches and produce) ...
17....and go grocery shopping (and get printer paper)
18. and cut up said produce for easy access and availablity
19. Make one of those empty pringles cans into a change cup and find spot for said cup
20. dust and vacuum the bedroom
21. Go over old camera. Erase old pictures and figure out what to do w/ it/. Donate?
22. buy insoles
23. throw tortilla chips away
24. return netflix
25. transcribe dads cd. (When oh when am I going to find the time to do this??)
26. throw out enchilada casserole
27. Put movie case away
28. Put disney scene it away
29. research (er. make) a playlist and try it out at the gym.
