cleaning house

I'm feeling like I have a second (yes, Ricky's crying...yes, Clair is awake and running around picking little things up off my floor and sticking them in her mouth--this is my motivation to clean). I have to take my seconds where I can these days. I thought I would throw out my "Spring Cleaning" goals.

Three weeks left of maternity leave. Maternity leave always equates to 'vacation', in my mind. However, the last five weeks have been far from a vacation. They have been wonderful, exhausting, educational, surprising, busy (oh, very busy)...but not a vacation. So, in light of this, I thought I would pick one large goal a week to accomplish and put it on the blog for a little accountability.

Goal 1: weed the yard and move the rocks from the front to the back.
Goal 2: paint the upstairs hallway and hang pictures (ie. finally finish my house)
Goal 3: paint the window ledge on the front of our house and wipe down the walls in the kitchen where the swamp cooler makes them all nasty.

This week I'm also carpet cleaning all of our carpets while it rains and I can't work in the yard.

Sounds like a great (and AMBITIOUS plan)! But, you always do surprise me with how awesome you are at being able to do all kinds of cool things!

well, we'll see...this is all stuff that I NEED to get done, especially the yard. However, thus far this week I have weeded about two feet of the front yard with teh hula hoe.
