Day 1

I got up a little later than I wanted, but I accomplished a lot!!

I started cleaning the kitchen right away so, I made the kids eat food bars. I didn't want to cook or make another mess. They survived with that. And, WOW! I got them out the door by 8 O'clock! Yea!! I made them walk as usual but, it was cold this morning. That's what jackets are for.

So, I finished the kitchen around 1 PM. Long morning!! ....... While I was cleaning I took a break and read my book (the ant and the Elephant). Two Chapters later, the kids (Zach and Westin) were hungry. So I made them lunch and sent them out to play. Finished the Kitchen and called Kayla with pure joy that I accomplished something. A minute later I found Westin dumping the kitchen trash out onto the floor (carpet) in the office area (next to the kitchen). I had just mopped so I put the trash can out of the way while the floor dried. So, said good-bye to Kayla and cleaned up that mess.

When I was getting a towel out of our linen closet I noticed that it was a mes too. But, not any more~ I straightened that right up! Now it's 3 O'clock. Some friends called and needed a couple of haircuts~ kids got home from school at 3:15, friends came at 4:00 and stayed til 5:20 Jason got home and in the mean time dinner was cooking on the stove. We ate @ 6:15.

We had Family Home Evening ~ set goals with the kids for Report card Grades (fun fun). But they also have a challenge to keep their rooms clean for 100 days. Now, it's getting them clean. :) Kids went to bed, I ran to the Grocery store, and Jason on conference call... I joined as everyone was saying good~bye, sorry. I got home and Jason was talking to a contact on the phone and here I am typing this long day!

Here are some before and after....it helped me get it done, knowing that I was posting my dirty house, I had to make the results happen!

Now, I can go to bed happy! :)
