The State of My Home #6

Camp is over and I'm still recovering.  My home reflects my fatigue and desire to just sit and rest and take a break for a few days, and it's not good.  I'm caught up on washing and folding laundry, but there are piles of it everywhere.  While I just finished tonight's dishes, clutter is creeping back onto my kitchen countertops and piano.  This week I'll need to focus on getting back into a more normal routine and start making steps forward again.

I do have a big project to tackle this week.  I'm going to be making a dress for my niece for her birthday.  The party is on Saturday, so there's not much time to lose.

Goals

• Keep up with the dishes
• Get the laundry put away
• Finish my niece's dress

The State of My Home #5

How is my home this week?  Wet.  We've got water in the basement, but not from the storms that dropped over 4 inches of rain on us this week.  No, one of the water pipes leading to the kitchen sink decided it wanted to be a sprinkler.  Too bad it took us a couple days to figure out the water wasn't from the rain...  The leak is repaired, the carpet is pulled back to dry, and maybe we won't have too replace too much of the wall and ceiling.

The past couple of days certainly derailed my routine and focus from cleaning, at least for the part of the time I've been home.  I made three trips to camp this week, which was crazy.  I did manage to get two days of school done with my oldest child which made her very happy.

So the goals?
Previous Goals

• Keep up with the dishes
• Keep up with the laundry
• De-clutter the kitchen counters
• Get the kids' clothing stored properly

I'm pretty much caught up with folding and putting away, but there may be a load in the dryer... maybe, I don't honestly know.  I'm probably a couple loads at least behind on washing.

Dishes are in good shape.  I have a couple dishes to wash from dinner, but I have to finish nursing the baby before I can finish them.

Most of the clothes are stored, but not all, and I didn't touch the cabinets.

Goals

• Keep up with the dishes
• Keep up with the laundry
• De-clutter the kitchen counters
• Get the kids' clothing stored properly

Since I'll be trying to get ready for camp which is 8 days away, I'm going to just focus on these same four items.
