Tackle it...Tuesday!!! More laundry...did I say more laundry?

OK I'm head on into it. Last week I blogged about the laundry. Still working thru my piles and 1 week wasn't enough.


I woke up to this....

...so as you can see I ended up doing some extra cleaning. Who votes my guy for Mr Messy of the Year?

My laundry pile grew.....actually this is dh's.

last week................this week

I'm being patient with dh's method of laundry (yet this is how he does it and he hates me doing his laundry, because he says I shrink it....and that has nothing to do with the 40lbs he's gained over our marriage)....I've waited 5 years...I guess I can wait another lol at least it's clean now.

I managed to get the girls summer clothes away....and I got long pants out...this week I must finish and get the long sleeved tops and sweaters out...oh and coats...it's cold now.

I ended up with 2 bags for the thrift shop and a bag to throw out.

I have most of the clothes stored in the unfinished renovation now because the basement is too damp. It thrown thru the window, as you can see almost out of sight & out of mind. I got most of this lot put away, I still need to sort a few things out there.

before................after

I'm just catching up with weekend laundry, which I don't usually do, but because dh used the machine all week no one else did.

I'm hoping it'll be all done this week so I can move onto something else.

What are you tackling....come on now....time to get to it.....at 5 minutes for Mom.

Tackle It Tuesday!!! Please let me pass!!!

Do you ever try as hard as you might to find a solution to a problem...and can't find one!! Thinking about it, most of my problems have been resolved. Some have left scares, some I've just learned to live with, some I can ignore, but there are a few that just seem to want to stay in the problem mode.

One of my biggest issues, is time. Yeh I'm sure you're all thinking, what else is new. Well, because it's my biggest it always seems to loom before me... I can't count the number of things I've tried to defeat it, keep it in it's place, ignore it (huh that's fun) beat it down, and turn it inside out...nothing has worked. The best way I found was to log every thing that needs to be done each day and put a number (ie minutes) next to it. This is so perfect on paper...but alas, life has a way of always running off the speedometer...road...or whatever track it runs on.

So here I am yet again, at the wall I can't seem to pass.

Now most people have a laundry day, or a shopping day...

sigh, I wish for those days sometimes. I think I'm going to have to have a laundry week, shopping week...etc, etc....I'm sure you get the picture.

So it will go something like this.....(gotta have a list...and I gotta tell someone about it or I just won't do it)
