    bathroom 2 days ago

    Today I did some deep cleaning and organizing of the bathroom. I fill a whole trash bag with old products, half empty bottles, etc. I feel pretty good about getting that stuff out of the way. I need to get my life reorganized and back on track. This is just one step along the way.



    Started Today... 4 days ago

    I started cleaning my house today! It felt great to start & to finally finish projects that kept on staring at me everytime I came home. It feels so good to accomplish something positive in your own dwelling. I’m not completely done but it felt awesome to finally do what I said I would do! The test will be to keep it clean & tidy.



    1nt28chieve is hoping for better things.

    It's been very difficult . . . 2 weeks ago

    But I have finally broken down and am having a housekeeping service come today to give me a quote. We are severely cutting back our spending in all areas, but this is something we desperately need right now. As a full-time student, I’m pushing full steam ahead to finish college and get to graduate school, which will take a few more years. My dear spouse is working to support us.

    We work together as a family to try to keep up, but often we can only really get to laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, taking out the garbage and that’s pretty much it!

    So, I’m hoping this service can help take up the slack until we are able to take it back again.



    November 2, 2009 2 weeks ago

    I haven’t been doing much of any cleaning… Just waiting until I can’t stand it any more to pick some stuff up. I know it’s bad, and I know it’s unhealthy, but I just haven’t had the energy or strength to bother. It’s the last thing on my mind right now. Perhaps this is symptomatic of depression, an emotional state I am predisposed to.

    Today, however, I did work in the kitchen, hall area, bathroom, and in the living room a little bit. Tomorrow I won’t have much time, but I am going to try to get something done.



    willowlynn2 doing pretty well actually

    well........... 3 weeks ago

    I was doing REALLY well for a while. I was on top of all the chores, the kids’ school work AND everybody was actually eating too. And then…...my sister-in-law moved in with her boyfriend. That was about four months ago. There have been a few days here and there where the house has been clean, but usually not all the rooms at one time if any of them. So….I’m trying to pick this back up again, and we’ll see how it works now.

    My 3rd week 4 weeks ago

    I’m starting my 3rd week tomorrow. I did a little better last week (my 2nd week). I wasn’t as lazy as I was my first week. But I still had my lazy moments. This week should be a little better. It gets easier as it goes. So far I did the kitchen and the bathroom. This week is the dining room.

    October 4 - 10 1 month ago

    Started over again this week on my house cleaning. I have a house cleaning plan now. So I’m sticking with it this time. I also have 1 rule that I have to go by. I can’t do anything that I want to do untill all housework for the day is done first. This week was really hard. I still got in my lazy mood most of the time. Hope next week goes better. Sundays are free days. No housework at all on Sunday.

    Started today 2 months ago

    Forget my other entry. I keep starting and stopping. So I started this goal today – September 20, 2009. And I’m not going to stop this time. I want to get the downstairs done by Thanksgiving and the upstairs done by New Years Eve. I got the extra room 1/2 done today. I am going to see if I can finish it tomorrow.
