    I soooo need this group but Ugggghhhh! Anyway, I don't believe in counting housework as calories, but I need help keeping accountable for this. You have no idea how bad it is. :embarassed:

    Anyway, over the next 45 hours, I will be doing laundry, decluttering, scrubbing all my hardwood floors, cleaning the bathrooms, kitchen, and refrigerator. I think I'm tired already.:yawn:

    I have to stop waiting until I absolutely have to to do my housework. Maybe I can come here and post my daily cleaning goals to keep me on point. What do you all think? Any suggestions?

    I don't always complete my cleaning jobs. :grumble: I get started and then move on to something else before the job is done. At the end of the day, I have all of these little projects I've started, but none that are completely done. I plan to clean the twins' room. They are two years old. I need to fold and put away their clothes, dust, vacuum, and clean the windows. I plan to stick with it until it's done. :smile:

    I'm late joining this group but man do I need it! I absolutely hate doing house work and I'm such a slob. Hopefully this will motivate me to clean house. I'll have to post mine tonight because I'm at work right now.

    I am like this a lot while I am just doing a little................general straightening and putting away....I see something else that needs to be done and then very.........briefly I will straighten that area until it takes me to another area in the house.
  • I washed my fur babies! It is not housework, but needed to be done. I am drying the sheets, then it is time to make that bed! Ugh!!! I think I will sweep off the front porch...there are soooooooooooooooooooo many leaves and I am tired of the leaves being tracked in the house. Ok......here I go!

    Hi Girls!
    I'm Tracy, just joined hope you don't mind!

    I work full time during the day, and my husband just took a job nights. Leaving all the housework to ....ME!

    Thought it would be fun, seeing as all I do every night is housework! Hopefully other people's motivation will help me organize my life more! I need to get past the daily cleaning & get to the closets!!!

    tonight my goals are:
    Empty Dishwasher
    Load dishwasher
    Clean kitchen
    Pick up toys in the living room/bedroom
    Vacuum rooms (high trafic area's only)
    Wash my son's bedding & re-make bed.

    Think I can get it done from 5-9? I hope so!

    Just joined this group and looks like a good way to keep me motivated. I tend to want to sit on the computer or watch tv,during the day.
    Today I have done

    3 loads of laundry
    a small sink of dishes by hand
    swept and moped the kitchen floor
  • I made up the bed with clean sheets! Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzz! That is work! Oh! I washed a load of towels and dried...they do need to be folded. Anyone want to volunteer and fold them for me?

    got it done, yay!

    finished:
    -empty/load dishwasher
    -mop the kitchen floor (unfortunate opening-of-the-dishwasher-mid-wash accident, care of the other half)
    -cleaned the kitchen counters
    -washed bedding

    woohoo! I think tomorrow I will aim to do laundry, clean the spare bedroom, and clean my office (includes unpacking several boxes that haven't been touched since we moved in July).

    If this is an open group I would love to join!

    Today I did laundry, and actually put mine away.
    I also recycled the plastic bags that accumulated.
    And I ran the dishwasher even though my sink refilled with dishes.

    Looking forward to this group! It would be more fun with all of you!
  • This is an Open Group, anyone can join, but you do have to do the housework!

    Going to bed soon but my goal before i do that is wash dishes by hand and do atleast a load of laundry
  • Working tonight, so I really don't plan to do much today, unless I get highly motivated this afternoon with a general 15 minute straighten up.

    Post that housework!

    I started that 45-hour housework overhaul last night. Swept floors, washed the rugs, and took out the garbage. I am off today so I expect to get most of the cleaning done today; laundry, straightening up, more sweeping, the dishes, the fridge, and the bathroom. Tomorrow I'm scrubbing floors. Then I'm taking a break for Sunday. After that... I am going to work on maintenance and hopefully I can keep it up until Thanksgiving. Putting up the Christmas tree next weekend so it can be up for our guests to enjoy over Thanksgiving! :happy:

    Hope everyone else has a great day and successful housework!!

    Progress update: The living room is clean! Still have the kitchen, the bathroom, and the laundry is a work in progress.

    LOL! Sorry about that. I'm really bad about waiting until the house needs a deep clean.

    Okay Good rmorning all (even though it's about noon!) I took care of myself & my dog FIRST and took a morning hike. Now then, today I will:
    1. run the dishwasher
    2. wash 1 load of laundry
    3. make sure bathrooms are "doorbell ready".

    We are going to a football game so I am saving real deal housework for tomorrow. Have a splendid Saturday, yal!

    Hi all! Today is the start of gun season for deer hunting. my daughters and hubby went out this morning and they have trashed the living room and kitchen. It looks like a tornado has went through. So my day will consist of:

    Sweeping, mopping, dishes, picking up everything in the living room, cleaning the kitchen counters, laundry (of course), and dusting

    We have a fireplace and I can dust in the morning and by the afternoon it is dusty again. But at least I know I did dust. I have 3 kids, 2 dogs and a hubby, so I am always cleaning something.

    Today I scrubbed the floors as planned, cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom. I feel a little defeated though because my home inspection included the bedrooms and I didn't realize it so they were dirty. Caught some flack about the yard too. I feel like I busted my behind for nothing. :frown:

    Having someone to come out and clean the yard up tomorrow. I'm putting a bookshelf together tomorrow for my daughter and after that I'm taking the day off.
