Here’s your Hint… to see what I tackled this week go HERE.
(I’ve been married 7 years now and I still haven’t taken it to the cleaners because of the terrifying horror stories I have heard… like the one where to woman went to pick up her dress and it was nothing but beads in a bucket!!!!)
Check it out over at 5 Minutes for Mom.
And the winner of Mr. Clean magic erasers!!! - is Comment # 24 - Amy!
Congrats and Happy Tackling my dear!
Oh, and just for some old fashion fun, check this out :o)…
Yes ladies, it’s that time again to share with you what I have tackled for this week over at 5 Minutes for Mom.
I figured this week I would give you a little look behind the scenes to show you no one is perfect :o)
If you saw my tackle over there you know it’s was a looong one! Well, now take a look at what I have NOT gotten done :o)… it needs folded and put away!
Now look at what others have done for me (thank you Mena and Jon!)
And this is what little GG was doing while I was tackling the kitchen :o) She was in her bouncer on the clean table looking out the window till she feel asleep - she LOVES being swaddled! :o)
From now on I will be posting my tackles over at 5MinutesForMom. Janice was getting so overloaded with all that’s on her plate that when I asked her if she needed anything and she replied really not wanting to do Tackle it Tuesday anymore I was completely excited to step in! Praise God that I will have this constant accountability and she will have less responsibility :o).
I even made new Tackle it Tuesday buttons and shared a tip on how to syphon water with a hose this week.
Of coarse you will still find me here on Tuesdays giving you hints on what I tackled for the week, but you will have to hop over there to see all the dirty details (literally)…. and this week’s a doozey!
Here’s your hint…
This is another repeat Tackle! Gosh! I always feel like I am repeating these things, but I guess that’s the life of the quite homemaker :o)
I’ve been wanting to get this one done for months now! I’m so glad it’s finished!
It is my unorganized bookcase again, it was the last part in my big room swap….
Also if you look at Sunday’s post you will see MORE I tackled! ;o) Me so Happy!
My Sister in law recently sent me this in an email (below) and took my kids for like 4 hours yesterday!
“I was wondering if you had a day each week that you could use a couple hours without the older kids? My friend and I had a “Kid Swap” each Tuesday/Thursday before I moved back here. It was Awsome! I have Mondays available and was wondering if I could come pick up JJ and B.Boy for few hours. You would still have the new baby, but it would give you a bit to sleep, clean, laundry, shop, scrapbook, whatever you want to do with those hours… they would be yours (And, Baby’s). You don’t have to take my kids. We’ll just get you some extra time and I will get to know my Niece and Nephew! : ) (Which I’m dying to anyway)
Of coarse this is when I get all the phone calls and knocks at the door to destract me from whatever tasks I chose to do, but I still got so soo much done!
Yes last night I waited till the kids were asleep to get my tackle done. And yes it is the office again… there is a project I have to do (notice the box of paint cans), but cannot work in there with it a mess like that! I needed help from my hubby because some of it was his, so he came home blessed me by making dinner and bathing the kids, then we attacked two bags and a box of stuff! After that I cleaned up the rest of the office and built a new little table and chairs for my kiddos. Now I am ready for more (of a different kind of) tackling! And if your wondering, the rest of my day was spent tackling disobedience, lots of toys and over 100 emails!
I told you that you would see me this week with a better outcome… well I still have some work to do, but here is some of what I have already finished since last week…I hung all my shelving (by myself) and put everything in it’s place :o) (If you want more about my shelving read my August 2nd post, or my ribbon jars read my April 19th post.)
Also I cleaned off all the tabletops in my front room of all the extra stuff… plus I dusted the whole room (that made me happy because I have been wanting to do that for a while now). Then I did most of the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and did some laundry… it was a good day getting all this done (with my three little ones not driving me crazy).
*Update on my wee little one (1st picture)… she slept 4 1/2 hours the past two nights!!!! Very cool! See’s growing like a weed, and with her face getting a little more chubby she is starting to look like her older sissy (2nd picture).
Here’s a little update on what we’ve gotten done here at home… We purchased the desk and some other goodies on a “date” Thursday night, we put it together that night and moved the computer over, including my husband’s new monitor that he got as a late Christmas gift (it also came on Thursday).
It was a lot of work to clean out the whole office. I have no pics of the craziness during the move, but I did take some pics today of the mess that is still left :o) When we moved the bookcase (the same one I tackled back in April) we had to take all the books off… and some of them are still not on, not to mention I still have to reorganize the shelves, and hang my scrappy shelves above my desk. I did manage to get my closet shelving up though, and my desk mostly organized. I’m sure you’ll see me back next Tuesday with a better outcome :o) Happy TT.
