I managed to get all the laundry put away, the kitchen cleaned up, the bathroom floor picked up and cleaned, and still have time to do a little knitting.

Tomorrow I promised my DD I would help organize, and change her room around. It's in serious need and her room is the whole basement. Lots of things to fling for sure!

Spent Friday cleaning out the two cars, spend Saturday a.m. working on our town's road clean up crew, then went to the dump twice with the books that had gotten wet and pulled out on Friday. Also took the other stuff DH found in the shed, which he cleaned partially.
Today it is NOT supposed to rain (or snow...like it did yesterday!) the dump & antique store are both closed. I'd like to get the 2nd new row tilled in the vegetable garden extension, and maybe something else planted in the garden itself, peas?
Aside from that my plan will be to try & get DH to help me clean up our bedroom and/or his office. The bedroom has to be cleaned because I want to move the bed from one wall to another, the office has to be cleaned so that we can remove the white melamine bookcase that's getting replaced by one in MY office....
Also need to find the titles for the 3 dead cars, as we need them to sell them, no matter who gets them!

Can you donate the cars, Judi? Most places that accept cars accept dead ones, and they will even send someone out to get them. And they would be a tax write-off!

Cleaned out the garage yesterday with DH and cleaned DD's big messy room today. I feel like we got a lot done and looks so much nicer!

No, not the last times we tried. We live too far out in the sticks for the local public radio station, the humane society, and (?) to pick up a car...or that's the way it was last time!

I also have to mix up some new paint and repaint/paint the bean trellis and get the other trellises out of storage and set up. More stuff put to use and not just stored...yeah!

Judi...our local salvage yard is offering 300.00 for cars, and they will pick up!! Scrap prices are very high...you might call around.

My house is pretty clean as I had company over the weekend. I need to keep it that way now! Plus my project now is to go through 1 closet a week, I'm really into purging and decluttering at the moment. I also want to start ironing and taking pictures to list stuff on ebay. Ok, I need to figure out a balance so I can get done everything I want to do...

Am keeping up with the kitchen and bathroom, and I deep-cleaned the sink (kitchen) today, as well as damp-mopping the dining room floor.

I've been keeping up with my kitchen as well. I also did a bunch of filing and desk cleaning last night. Lots more filing to do, but every little bit helps!
