I find lists very comforting. Sometimes I make "to do" lists and include things I've already done, just for the satisfaction of crossing them off. I don' expect a gold star or dozen roses, but man, I feel like I've accomplished a ton since I got home last night!
1. hunted all over the house for hidden cinnamon rolls, and I *think* I got them all...
2. vacuumed & swept up all the big chunks off the furniture, then oxy-cleaned the sticky residue left behind.
3. vacuumed and lint brushed all the furniture, and covered the big red dog hair magnets (I mean chairs) with throws.
4. Swept & vacuumed the living room and hallway.
5. Removed the sticky throw pillow covers and threw them in the wash.
6. Replaced the bag on my mini Oreck - it was so full it exploded when I opened it, and I had to re-vacuum all the previously vacuumed stuff back up.
7. stripped the bed and pillows and changed all the linens (necessary before I could even crash, since there were cinnamon rolls mashed into the sheets.)
8. moved all the furniture in the bedroom to find cinnamon rolls he had actually shoved under and between furniture. This also involved scrubbing said mash off of walls.
9. dusted, vacuumed, and de-cluttered bedroom (it looks so foreign right now!)
10. unloaded and re-loaded dishwasher
11. stripped the cover off the dog bed (this had to be done outside because there was so much mashed cinnamon roll it was practically a cake) and tossed it in the wash.
12. 2 loads of laundry so far, many more to come...
13. emptied and sprayed down the shower with scrubbing bubbles
14. watched a few episodes of "True Blood" re-running on HBO
15. had a dream Alison served grilled cheese at her wedding (fine by me!)
16. took out 2 bags of garbage
17. wiped down the kitchen walls
I still need to finish the kitchen and bathroom, and head up to make sense of the craft room before a friend comes over to work on wedding stuff...but first, I think I've earned a Maverick's roast beef sandwich as a reward for all my hard work.
