Hello



So today I went to Alamosa so I am pretty much done for the day, but we are roasting hot dogs and marshmellos tonight and sleeping in a tent. Sedona wants to go Camping---so we will at least go to the backyard--
Last night I gave the girls a bath--and then I was so smart--I went outside with them, sprayed them with bug spray, built a fire, and we roasted marshmellos


---remind me to wait til AFTER to give them baths next time! They were more dirty after that then they were before the bath!
Oh well- You live and learn.

you can't really see all the dirt on sedona's face!

Also Lucas took the desk from upstairs so that cleared out an area upstairs in the scary room! Pictures again to follow.

Almost...

I think I ran out of steam---I had Roj and Keeda today and they were great.

I was able to get lots done on my list, but not all.

I Finished
1. Trash
2. Lawn & Swept (our grass leaves clippings which bugs like to live in so Lucas bought me a great invention called a lawn sweeper--it saves me hours of work)
3. Bathroom cleaned (except tub--which it doesn't need too bad)
4. I got 4 loads of laundry folded and put away--3 loads washed-and 2 loads dryed. I know it doesn't make add up--but I had loads dry without putting them away- and I am still working on it.
5. Car! That was a big one--I got the Cruiser all cleaned out and vacuumed (now I have a mess inside to deal with!)
6. Clutter room---OK I didn't work on it for more than 5 minutes, I found letters I wrote to Lucas while he was on his mission--I read a few of those--OK I read for about 15 minutes--cleaned 5, read 15--sounds like a typical day.

Plus the dang farm games on Facebook are so addicting! I have got to do something about that!

Tonight I will keep laundry going, do a quick pick up of whole house, put some Car junk away, and look through pictures--unless Sedona wants to sleep in a tent outside tonight, then everything can wait till tomorrow!
Some fun movie trailers that look fun!
I am not sure what they are rated, but I would like to see them.

This one is a little environmental, but still looks fun

Just a little break---off to work!

1. trash
2. 1 load washed-1 load dry
3. Lawns Mowed!

Oh and....

Upstairs Scary Clutter room-
Today is a game--How much can I clean up in the 20 minutes I am giving myself to work like the devil on it
The Scary Clutter room has Piles more than the whole thing being a total disaster--
This is mostly Christmas stuff that I need to go through

This side is the worst, and you can't tell, but there is a pathway through the junk--that wasn't there before!
Anyone need Baby Stuff? I have a very Old School Swing, and a Lovely bassinet!

The Car mess---I never got my car cleaned out from Denver, then we had celebrations, then Sand-dunes---so it just piled up!
Back Seat



The Trunk--I actually cleaned a little out of this so it won't be too bad!


The Driver Side---I can't find anything to say the least!
I envy those people who are naturally clean and organized!

The Bathroom-not that bad, just mostly a normal clean

My Piles of Laundry start at my door and work its way back to the ever full laundry bag!
But Luke did make the bed this morning!


These are the pictures of my TO DO list--lets see what I can get done...

I also need to add
1. Take out Trash (DONE!)

2. Mow Lawns & Lawn Sweep!
-Back & Front

Alright Lets Get to WORK!















Life List today

OK so I need to get so energy and motivation going again--
sorry if you find my to do lists kind of boring, but like I said I find that the blog keeps me motivated---

So today I will....

1. Do 5 loads of laundry (wash, dry, AND put away)
2. Clean both the cars out and Vacuum them
3. Clean Bathroom
4. Clean Upstairs scary room for 20 minutes
5. Sort my pictures half an hour!

OK--I will take before and after pictures to help keep myself honest--

Here I go!

Am I propery caring for my husband?

I really need to re-read
"The Proper care and feeding of Husbands"

Before you have a fit--it is a wonderful book about how we, as women and wives, need to treat our husbands with respect. I feel that if more women read this book and actually applied the teachings (I don't agree 100% with all of it), then people, marriages, men and women, would all be happier.

Of course this only works if you are in a healthy relationship to begin with!

BTW (by the way)--does anyone know where my copy of it went too? I gave one copy as a gift, but I thought I had two....
