Master Bedroom

I did it.
I didn't procrastinate I just did it.
Little things left to do..but overall I accomplished something.

Surprisingly it didn't take that long to do either.

Plan of Action.
- removed all comforters, pillows, throw pillows, blankets, sleeping bags from bed put on dinning room table.
- removed sheets and put in laundry.
- emptied off dresser into a basket and all loose items in room.
- emptied all cloths onto bed and I handled every object 1 by one. Why I did this is to sort items. All cloths not belonging to be immediately went into my husbands bedroom (yes we sleep in different rooms..just because it works for us). All towels and other sheets went out to the dinning room table, and jackets as well.
- I went thru my closet and purged some items. There were not many to purge as I do this quite frequently.
- After all items were off the floor I vacuumed. It's amazing how many dust bunnies there are under my bed. Under my bed is the cool air return so it just sucks the bunnies towards it..my room is very small and vacuuming is a challenge especially trying to get under the bed.
- I dusted items.
- I started to put away cloths. Again handling items individually. All summer items or items that go in drawers just went into a basket. I was focusing on the the hanging items.
- After everything was hung I moved all the summer cloths into my bins and put them on the floor of my closet.
- Went thru the basket of stuff I had taken off my dresser sorted the items. Purged and put things in better places (some items some are still in the basket). Since the bathroom has been organized I now moved all hair products into the bathroom. Not much is left in my room now.
- Re-made bed and since it is getting colder..I battled and conquered putting my duvet in it's cover.
- Missing items that have not been recovered yet--my beautiful $15 tweezers (I thought that was expensive). I really thought they had fallen behind the bed or night stand. I cannot find them anywhere. I really need to pluck my eyebrows to.

Left to do.
- go thru night stand
- take items that do not belong in bedroom (currently all items sitting in a basket) to their new homes.
- wash walls
- buy a curtain rod
- hang curtains (I have some already)
- figure out what to store in cedar chest and getting moth ball smell out of cedar chest.
- take apart ceiling fan and clean it.

Ahhh..was nice sleeping in my room last night

I'm back

I think I am refreshed. I am sure waiting for turkey later.
Today is going to be a busy one.
We had a couple nightmares this weekend.
Plumbing. My husband swears a lot when he does plumbing.
First off let me tell you a story.

So Friday of a long weekend. I got off work early and came home had a nap and life was good. Did a couple things around the house..
I have discovered Farmville too on Facebook. Very addicting.
Anyway. Mas is in the basement taking apart the laundry tub trying to unclog it. So 20 minutes later he says run the kitchen sink....I go up stairs and do that. I hear STOP..which I know (without being told) that my kitchen sink now leaks into the basement because he cut out the laundry tub.

Now if I was given notice that this was going to be happening on Friday night..I would have made sure all the dishes were done..nope..counter full of dirty dishes.

So I ask WTH..and he said well I wanted to have it all ready so I knew what I need because Rona is having a scratch and save event..etc..I just looked at him.

So Saturday we get up and we have a few things to do. We go to Rona and we both agreed that buying a lot of plumbing supplies would be better (we can always return them) better to have more than to be short.

So fine we get home I said I am going to the laundry mat (yes my dryer is still screwed) I said you fix the plumbing I will go to the laundry mat. Better I wasn't here for the plumbing.

I get home just over an hour later and he said it took only 20 minutes to fix the problem. He has cleaned up the kitchen and everything is good. And I had a new and clean laundry tub installed as well.

So Sunday we took back all the parts that were left over..there were a lot of parts.

Today we are cooking our Thanksgiving dinner and inbetween I am cleaning my bedroom.
Going to be an interesting one today.
I will throw our cook from frozen stuffed Butterball (bought on sale at Walmart) turkey breast shortly and then I will go into my hole of a room and start cleaning.

I just wrote my plan of action for it and will post shortly and I have to accomplish it today. To many cloths need to be put away for this not to work out for me today.

Meal planning this week is going to be great.

We have a lot of food in the house right now..plus we will have left overs from today.

Food Basics in our area is going out of business. I never go into that store, I have a couple times and then swore I would never go back. It was just dirty and hard to maneuver around..just wasn't a great store. So they have a sign posted 25% off everything in the store. So we went in to get pantry items. And did we ever. We stocked up on certain items..our freezer and pantry are just full.

So menu planning this week will be interesting. I know Mas will not want turkey for dinner if he is having turkey sandwiches. So I think a lot will be frozen. I am not making a lot of sides for dinner tonite..or let me re-phrase that I am not making a huge quantity of sides.

Well I need to figure out this cook from frozen turkey.

We will be back on air

No later than Monday Oct 12th.

Life.

LIFE

what was that saying life is what happening when you? I dont' remember it but it applies here.

Yeah this week is a complete write off. Nothing is getting accomplish this week anyway or until the weekend.

I am so hoping to be going out for dinner this evening. I got some gift certificates to the Keg steakhouse for my birthday and tonite I could really use a nice glass of red wine and a honky hunk of red bloody meat. Oh and a nice conversation with my husband. I will be taking him..I think I am close to the point of just going by myself if he doesn't want to go. I did text him and said I want to go to keg tonite. His response was sure..so I will hold him too it.

Lots going on right now no time to do anything. I still need to find time to do a list for the weekend though.

My lack of posting should be a good indication

Yep Friday night had a nap woke up at 8:40pm..so nothing got accomplished.

We went out this weekend so other than a quick clean thru the house nothing else was accomplished.

I think I am more frustrated now more than ever.

Tonite is laundry. I have to go to the laundry mat again. This is not fairing well with me. I had people spend the night on the weekend so I have comforters and bedding galore. I need to find a cheap dryer. My husband keeps saying wash the cloths at home and then go. Well that only works for a couple loads. If I actually had my *stuff* together this would work for me. But too much bedding right now for that to work. Our bedding will have to wait because I think I will have too much tonite to do all at once.

This weekend is the long weekend. Thanksgiving. Should be lots of time to do things since we are not going anywhere for dinner. I think if I plan this well with lists and such I should be able to get a few things done. We do have a houseguest coming I believe. We bought our cook from frozen stuff turkey breast this past weekend. Really looking forward to it. Have to make more lists on what I need to go with it.

Top priority is my bedroom, the linen closet.

I have a busy week this week too. This week I am off work a couple days to go to doctors appointments and I am teaching a class on Tuesday. Couldn't be busier this week. So I am limited on what I can do during the week. My husband went to the grocery store before I could meal plan so I am working with what I got.

Tonite we are having hamburger helper with brocoli.
Tomorrow I am out so he is on his own.
Wednesday is fish or poultry.

I really need to find a dryer. So laundry can be done at home.
I do love that my cloths are all done at once and such going to the laundry mat. But I hate leaving home to do so.

Well I will have lots of time this evening at the laundry mat making lists for the weekend.

I need to get my life together I don't think I am making any progress at all...

Should be interesting

to see what get accomplished tonite. My summer hours are over and I have to work until 4pm today. It has been since Victoria Day weekend since I have worked until 4pm on a Friday. I can just imagine what traffic is like.

So nap time whill probably happen tonite. And I have to go to the lss to finish up a class I am teaching on Tuesday.

I am going out Saturday night and we might have people in the house tomorrow so the house will have to be cleaned.

So the overwhelmness is kicking in and it is only 7:50am.
And tonite I am cooking ribs for the first time.
I should for go the nap I think.
I might be grumpy later though.
So you have been warned.

Well

The nap won (only lasted 10 minutes..really it did. I was shocked too), I did not clean the bathroom last night, but I did do other productive things. I do feel guilty not cleaning the bathroom..so I did other chores around the house.

But I did read last night instead of watching tv.
Tonite I have a bunch of running around to do then home.
Tomorrow I have to work until 4pm because our summer hours have ended. This should be interesting.
