• Massive Plans for Monday

  1.  My bar WILL be cleaned off today!  (can’t promise what it will look like on Wednesday, though!) done

  2.  My desk WILL be cleaned off today! done

  3.  My dresser WILL be cleaned off today! halfway done

  4.  My bedroom bookcase full of books . . . well . . . maybe tomorrow. yeah . . . tomorrow!

  5.  The Pine-Sol’ing of the tile floors, maybe later in the week, unless Rissy wants to do it today. not today!

  6.  I’ve already made cinnamon rolls for breakfast and a Mrs. Smith’s peach pie for tonight’s dinner.  Using every bit of God’s strength to restrain myself from eating that pie!  Haven’t, though!

  7.  My husband wants me to start using the old system of ledger sheets for his business.  I haven’t been successful in finding a way to back up onto a CD “Quick Books” – I sure don’t want to lose the info if my computer should crash.  We currently don’t have a disk drive for floppies.  I don’t know if the CD needs formatting and I don’t know how to do that, if I bought the wrong kind of CD (I bought CD-R), OR, if (despite the fact the front of the disk door says “CD-Writer”) it may only play CDs and not record info to them.  I’m tired of messing with it.  Doing ledger sheets (which include address & all other info) will take forever, but I must start today since Jesse asked. I did as much as I could and did the most important accounts he was worried about.  Had a bad home school day.  No, a HORRIBLE home school day.  It was hard for me to create ledger sheets, answer 92 million (rather dumb, in my estimation) questions, and stop arguing in the kitchen ever few seconds . . .

  8.  I really HAVE to try to put Rissy’s new bookcase together. ROFLOL!  I DID wash the kitchen trash can!  And, I emptied her closet of all the quilts, pillows, extra blankets etc.  They are all sitting on the king size bed in the guest room.  Once her new bookcase is put together, her old onr will go on top of an old chest in her closet  which will store the bedding that’s currently dumped on the king size guest bed.   I “think” I made progress!

  9.  Dinner tonight will be something that goes with peach pie!  Just kidding!  Most likely, chicken breasts, cauliflower, and cheesy potatoes. Okay, I made this one up tonight.  Seasoned boneless, skinless chicken breasts covered with mixed vegetables, covered with a huge can of Cream of Chicken Soup and covered with shredded cheddar cheese – left to bake all on it’s own.  I haven’t smelled anything boiling over in the oven, so I assume “all is well.”  I will probably still serve cauliflower and make some plain egg noodles.

  10.  Lord give me the strength, please, to do all I need to do and the wisdom to do the most important things first! I’m feeling pretty good about what I accomplished.  I have things divided into bags for two friends with younger children; two people’s birthday gifts & Father’s day gifts hidden in the my closet; I cleaned out Annamarie’s drawers and helped her organize them (an unexpected chore when she had no where to put her clean panties!); and all that’s left on top of my dresser are some music tapes and CD’s that need to be put away.  I’m also VERY glad I got some basics done with Jesse’s books because I usually put his requests at the top of my lists.  I made the children school AFTER lunch – each at different times at the table ALL alone.  It worked much better than the 3 of them fighting all morning.

  I’ve even done a couple loads of laundry!   Pictures tomorrow!
