What Housecleaning Did You Get Done Today?
To get myself and everyone motivated to do more housework (and spend a little less time on the internet) I thought I'd start this thread. List all the housework you've done today and show off your domestic skills.
Yesterday - I cleaned two bathrooms from top to bottom (excluding washing floors) and I washed/dried laundry.
Today - Today I've folded three baskets of laundry. I want to put away all the laundry and iron a few shirts for DH before going to bed. We'll see how I do!An obstacle is what comes up when you lose sight of your goal.

Cleaned the bathroom over the weekend. Today I put drain opener down the sink and tub.
Took a gallon bag of kitchen peelings out to the compost. Made the bed.
Really didn't do much today. By tomorrow night there will be enough dishes to run a load.Use it up, Wear it out,
Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown
