Like I said....

...it's never ending!!!

I got a whole 2 hours of sleep last night and as I've been working through my cleaning list, other things come to mind to ADD TO IT!! UGH!

Here's the new additions:

Kitchen

Clean out microwave
Make mini pizzas & potato wedges for dinner (forgot we were doing taters too... and I'm making it all from scratch *sigh*)

Bedrooms

Put a new light bulb in Midget's bedroom

Miscellaneous

Move Midget's swing to the front porch
Reinstall Midget's car seat in Alice
Call pharmacy and order Midget's meds

Here's what I've actually completed before 8 AM!!!! *GASP!*

Kitchen

Unload & reload dishwasher (will have to do one more time though)
Clean stove & counters
Rearrange pantry & finish putting away groceries

Bathroom

Clean tub
Wash towels

Miscellaneous

Work on Christmas gifts (which I will be doing as soon as I get Midget out of bed)
Pay car insurance & phone bills online
Send out rent check

I might actually get the majority of my cleaning list done by noon if I don't crash hard soon. Maybe a Dr P for breakfast will give me a decent caffeine boost so I can keep going!? *chuckle*

It never ends!

Cleaning that is. I went to bed only to have my mind start running through what I needed to get done tomorrow. (Got up to write it down so I can sleep... hopefully!) Here's what I came up with so far!

Kitchen
  • Unload & reload dishwasher
  • Hand wash Midget's food cups
  • Clean stove & counters
  • Mop floor
  • Rearrange pantry & finish putting away groceries
  • Make mini pizzas for dinner

Bathroom
  • Clean toilet, sink, & tub
  • Sweep & mop floor
  • Wash towels
  • Give Midget a bath

Bedrooms
  • Wash bedding
  • Put away laundry
  • Clean fish tank

Miscellaneous
  • Buy bread for dinner
  • Work on Christmas gifts
  • Pay car insurance & phone bills online
  • Send out rent check

Yikes! I have to get as much of this done before noon as possible as my mom is bringing over the rugrats (AKA my nieces and nephew) tomorrow afternoon for a visit. This should be a very long, very interesting day for me! *sigh* At least I might be able to chase the rugrats with my camera and get some new shots! *grin*

November!?

My gosh... where has this year gone?? I feel like we were just celebrating Midget's birthday a month ago and now we're in November. YIKES!

Mr Indy and I decided to get our holiday shopping out of the way. (He dreads it, I love it! *snort*) We got about 1/2 our list done today so we're off to a good start. If Midget had not needed to eat and we weren't so tired from games last night (poker and a board game at a friend's house after dinner), we could have finished it all. Hopefully we'll finish the rest of the list next weekend.

The best part is we got the nieces and nephew out of the way! *happy dance* I hate taking Mr Indy into the toy section because he drools over so many of the toys. I mean we walked out of there with the Indiana Jones Monopoly game because he saw it and I talked him into buying it. *snort*

I have a bunch of presents to find online (which I should be doing now but just had to update my layout to get rid of the Halloween theme) and just as many to make. I don't know if I'll get all my gifts made but I'm going to work as diligently as possible from now until Christmas to make it happen.

Ah crap! I just realized I need to find a good place to hide gifts since the nieces and nephew are coming over tomorrow afternoon with my mom. I don't know where I have to hide stuff!!! *gulp*
