Project: Clean My house

Uck...I have a cold or something.  I'm afraid it may be a sinus infection (only time will tell).  I'm a big baby when I'm feeling ill.  Waaaaaaa...I wanted to spend the whole day in my jammies in bed :) 

I survived and made it into work where I enjoyed my breakfast of champions :)

Meal #2 was hummus and whole grain pretzels :) 

Then I had some unattractive BUT delicious bean soup and a salad for lunch

 Meal #4 was the rest of the hummus and triscuits

For dinner, I made the boys a Stromboli and myself?!?  I had some of my spaghetti squash with sauce and ricotta (DELICIOUS)

Now onto other fun stuff...I decided that I need a "keep the house clean" plan.  I cleaned the house top to bottom for my little cookie exchange on Sunday but as a working mom it is really really tough to fit in house chores to my daily routine AND still have quality time with my kids.  I already feel like I run around like a chicken with my head cut off.  And WHO wants to spend the whole weekend cleaning?!?!  NOT ME!  I loathe cleaning!!!  LOATHE

I was brainstorming ways I can stay on top of my already clean house...I came up with a schedule.  I successfully completed Tuesday (Week 1).  I figure I can focus on one major project each month.  This month is a test month to see what works and what doesn't:) 

Here is a peek at my duties for this week:

We will see how this goes.  I'm happy to have a plan and I don't feel overwhelmed by this.  I felt VERY accomplished last night and was careful not to over do it.  I think I may even set a timer for 20 minutes each night and just knock out my "to do list".  I'll keep everyone posted.
