Feeling quite accomplished today.

Our local High School Football Team had a playoff game at home last night. The Husband wanted to go. The kids wanted to go. I didn’t so much wanna go. So while they were gone, I kicked myself into major gear and got some shit done!

First, I got all of my laundry caught up. Which is pretty normal, because I’m crazy picky about it, but last night I even got 99 percent of it PUT AWAY! Whoa. Like on hangers, in closets … not just stacked on my folding table. The only exception being my son’s clothes. I’m trying to teach him to be more responsible (cause I don’t want his wife to hate me someday) … and I don’t think it’s too much to ask for him to put his dirty clothes in the laundry room, so I don’t have to scour his room looking … and then put them in his closet after I wash, dry and fold them. It’s a good compromise I think.

Next, I swept the hardwoods, vacuumed the carpets, then went back over the hardwoods with my Swiffer!

I unloaded the dishwasher and went around the house to make sure I had all the dirty dishes and reloaded and restarted.

I gave my dog Drew a bath.

Thursday (today) is trash day. This is normally solely the Husband’s responsibility. But last night I went through the whole house and emptied the bathroom trash, kitchen, kids rooms, my office etc., into one big trash bag and took it out to the garage garbage bins. My Husband knows I hate trash, so he never ever asks me to take it up our hill to set it out to be picked up. I thought I’d be nice and collect it all for him this week. Yes, I’m a good wife sometimes lol.

I changed the sheets on our bed.   I fed the dogs/cat and cleaned all of their bowls. AND I made myself a To Do List for today … which I am currently checking things off of.

• Drew’s Doggie Bath/Grooming appointment has been set for Monday.
• Cowgirl (new dog) is getting her nails done the same day.
• I made myself a nail appointment.
• I made my Daughter a hair appointment.
• I made tanning appointments from now through the new year.
• The Cable company has been called regarding my TV in my room being completely static-y while the rest of the  TVs in the house are fine.  (TV plays DVDs fine, so I know it’s their box that’s the problem.)
• I called the Electrician and set up an appointment for next week to have our new kitchen light installed.
• I’ve asked everyone I know if they own a laser level (which they don’t) so I’m going to Walmart on my lunch hour to buy one.  I am ready to have my beautiful living room pictures hung up so I can show you guys how neat they are!
• I’m currently scouring Etsy to find a baby shower gift for my little sister.  I want to get a COOL outfit with the baby’s name monogrammed on it.   Eik…excited.
• I started my Christmas shopping lists and ideas.
• I started my Thanksgiving recipe list.
• Ohhh and yes, I’ve done a minimum amount of actual WORK (yanno at my job) today too.

All in all.  Had a very good last couple of days.  Hopefully I can keep this momentum up!
