    Default Weekend Projects

    Hi all!

    Well, for me another workweek has come to an end and I'm thinking of my home projects for the weekend.

    This weekend, I need to do all of our laundry (washed, hung, folded, put away) and I want to work on filling 3 grocery bags of garbage and tossing them. We accumulate a lot of paper trash during the week that makes me crazy. I need to get rid of it and try to stay more on top of it during the week.

    Do you have any weekend home projects that you will be working on? Big or small? Share them here!

    I'm working today, but tomorrow I'm painting our kitchen table and chairs. DH bought the paint yesterday so I'm all set and ready to go.

    Great idea, I think I'll will start decluttering the master bedroom.
    I will paint a little table my husband made, and use it in my bedroom.
    Glad you posted this Amy.

    I'm going to do some light housekeeping and may work on that bedroom suit again. I'd love to get that thing finished this next week.

    Having to do laundry here too. I think the weekends have become laundry days.

    I had to do our bi-weekly grocery shopping trip.

    We also had to mow the grass.

    We just moved a few weeks ago, so I am still trying to get everything organized. Also, working on the laundry today.

    I think I had a little burst of energy. Which rarely happens..... I went through the pantry...became a collect all... Rearanges my grandsons room did 15 loads of laundry. My grandson thinks he's suppose to change 3 or 4 times a day. He's only 10... His mom let him and I'm still trying to break him of that habit. I've been cleaning the kichen....... But I run out of energy real fast. I use to go go go. But since becoming sicker th energy isn't there anymore.
    But I'm happy with what I have done

    Yes I'm out of my mind. It's a dark and scary place in there.

    Decluttered in all bedrooms instead of just the master bedroom. Pitched several small bags, and have quite a few things to donate to Good Will.
    DH suggested I stain the little stand instead of paint, got that done. Its drying. May need another coat though. (I'm Happy.)
    Looks like everyone is doing a great job.
