Things to do--DONE!!!

I've got a problem. My whole house needs to be cleaned. I've had certain things on my "to do" list for well over a week. And they haven't gotten done. So here's the deal. While Sydney is playing with Tori, and Jenna is asleep, I'm going to race myself and see how much I can get done. (Did your mom ever play the whole "race" trick on you when you were young? Mine sure did!) So, here's what I need to do:

Whew, just sitting down for a second while Sydney's on her way home. Here's what I've accomplished so far. It's 12:55pm. Still more to do, but I'm making headway.

1:45 pm...almost there!

4:10pm...done! Finally!!! Now I need to make my list for tomorrow, but I guarantee it won't be so long!

Clean my girls' bathroom Done
Clean my bathroom (minus the giant tub) Done
Dust everywhere (& scrape the gunk off the coffee table) Done
Clean the glass patio door Done
Sweep Done
Unload & reload the dishwasher Done
Water inside plants Done
Start water on the tree outside Done
Start water on my garden Done
Vacuum Done
Do 3 loads of laundry 2 done, all 3 done
Fold & put away 7 loads of laundry (!!!) 4 loads done, all 7 done
Pay bills Done
Gather recipes to post Done
Pick veggies in garden Done

I'm sure there's more, but I'm going to leave it at that right now. Okay, so it's 11:20am right now. I'll try to keep you updated without keeping me away from my chores for too long. Wish me luck!
