Beginning Week 3

Mom and I have been keeping track of things differently.  She has been counting all 7 days, while I am pretty sure we only count Monday-Friday for the daily cleans.  What have you all been doing?  Anyhow, I will try to come up with a weekly challenge ASAP.  Happy cleaning!

My Perfect Weekly Score

For the first time in a very long time I got a perfect score!  I did everything last week.  And it only took me about 4 hours a day.  Think I'm kidding?  Actually I got down and dirty and really cleaned up the entire house.  By this time next week I should have reached my monthly goal of getting it all cleaned at least once.  So anyway, my score is 10 X 6 for daily cleans and 5 minutes, an extra 15 for the weekly stuff, and 30 for the weekly challenge. That is 105.

5 Minute Challenges

Sorry for the delay on posting these. I seriously considered making "paint" a challenge because it looks like it would be the only points I get this week! But I thought maybe it would be a tad unfair.

1. Dust for cobwebs

2. Clean entertainment center

3. Clean silverware tray

4. Clean microwave

5. Take everything off kitchen counters and wipe down

Weekly Challenge

I picked a weekly challenge that I really need. Clean under couch and chair cushions. Clean under the couch and chair. Wash the dirty places on the couch and chairs. I guess another way to put it is to deep clean our couches and chairs. Happy sitting. Oh Brenda do you remember when I washed the couches in Independance and couldn't let you sit on them because you had some stinky gas? That was funny right?

A thought about our goal lists

I am thinking of adding a new feature to our weekly points. It seems to me that the most underutilized feature of the blog is the goal setting side. What if we give points for putting at least 3 goals up and completing one? I know that writing something down is a great way to get it done. I like to be a bit optimistic with my goals, so I wouldn't want punished for not completing them, but a little incentive wouldn't hurt...

November- assignments.

So I can't help but notice that no one added anything for last week.  So lets pull a repeat.  Same assignments as last week and we'll count this as the first week of the cycle.  Happy Cleaning!!

Tip- Electric Knifes

I don't know if you are all aware, but we eat almost exclusively homemade bread.  Over the summer my friend shared a wonderful tip that has made sandwich making with homemade bread a lot easier.  The problem is that it's hard to get bread thin enough.  The solution?  Electric knife.  You can get the bread extremely thin and it makes homemade bread a lot more usable.  Hope this helps someone!
