This is the week

This week I have guests coming and I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner! So I need to clean my entire house. I'm not where I was hoping to be by this point, but I have been getting things done so I'm optimistic that I can get everything done. Here is my plan:
Monday
Finish cleaning my room
-put my laundry away
-clean my bathroom
-clean off the flat surfaces

Clean the main bathroom
-This is the boys Monday job

Clean off the desk
-get rid of all the papers I don't need

Tuesday
Dust
-The regular Tuesday job

Wash sheets and blankets

Vacuum guest rooms

Clean the Kitchen

Wednesday
Vacuum everything

Think about finishing what ever I didn't do

Ready...Go!

countdown to guests continued

Two weeks until guests arrive.

Last week I cleaned out the guest room! It still needs to have the sheets washed and the carpet vacuumed but I'll wait till right before they come. I organized the toys, but the ones I'm going to get rid of or put away are still sitting in bags.

This week my focus is getting rid of clutter. Off the top of my head I can think of 6 bags and boxes of stuff I said I would go through later and have not yet. So I want to go through that stuff and the stuff on the desk and the stuff on the counter, and get rid of the newspapers in the front room. I also want to clean my room and catch up on my laundry. Perhaps this is too ambitious for me, we'll find out.

Are you there blog? It's me Jennifer.

So I've taken the last month off, I don't know why, I just surrendered and let the mess take me. Now it is November and family is coming for Thanks giving so I have 3 weeks to get everything cleaned up. I need a plan. Here is what I'm going to do This week.
-Clean up the guest room. It has been holding toys and random things and the closet door is off the track.
-Clean the hall way by the guest room. The downstairs bathroom is blocked off by stuff and I'm sure my guests will want to use it.
-Organize toys. They are everywhere. I have a plan.
-Put away Halloween decorations and costumes.

I'm starting with the areas I can lock and then see what the rest of the house looks like.

Time to get back to work.
