i started cleaning and i did not even have a list, i got my kitchen looking pretty good, i did all my dishes and cleaned my counters, and put in a load of towels to wash, will be folding them soon.. went out before the storm and sat on the porch and watched it rain, it felt so good out there with the cold wind blowing, it was so hot inside.. but i got more doen today then i have all week,, my dr upped my meds at last visit and all i felt like doing was sleeping.. so today she said she would drop my dosage back down to where it was.. i just have to go pick up the meds ..i was glad she cahnged it, as i got up and realized i missed my appointment yikes, i thought today was wed and when my hubby told me it was thur i realized i missed my appt.. lucky i called and reschedules and she called my meds in.. after that i thought it would be a bad day, but other then the storms i feel ok right now and was able to get some stuff done around the house.. i hate leaving dirty dishes so i try to do them every day.. my kitchen does look and smell alot better.. what all did you get acomplished today.. was it a good day or bad ? and what's the weather like there.. hopefully not storming like here..

Wow, you really have a very busy day! I am also busy with my job. I don't have much time to do household chores because I need to do my paperwork. Aside from that I am doings two things at the same time. I work from Monday to Friday and study during Saturdays. I also have my computer training every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Fortunately, I only have my studies online so I don't have to worry much. I really tried to budget my time as much as I could. Last week was the busiest week for me. I finished all the requirements in my university. I slept late at night to accomplish it. Yesterday, I got a very good grade for my finals. Now, I can take a rest on my study. I am not sure if I will enroll this summer on the university. I guess, I will just spend my vacations focusing on seminars and trainings. As much as possible, I set a goal for each day. I really try hard to finish one task at a time so it can make me avoid stress.

I did nothing in my house today. I woke up in the morning late enough to have time just to drink my coffee and go to work. I feel so tired, I've been tired for months and years. I work a lot but this is not a normal situation. Any way, I went to work and after a long working day, here I am back home. It's late now but I decided to take a look at myLot before going to bed. I worked quite a lot today but was it enough?...

Lately I've been putting a lot of stuff off. I hope to get a lot more done this weekend because our house is getting pretty messy and I have a lot of paperwork to do as well.

You're so productive. I haven't done much this morning or any other morning. I wake up at the usual time, then put the laundry into the machine and let it work by itself. After a little cleaning and sweeping, I watch my favourite tv show while eating my breakfast. Then I prepare something to cook for lunch and after that get ready for work.

I am no domestic goddess, but I like clean. Almost everything in my house is white or black so I can see the dirt and grime from 20 ft. I am very visual. But if I forgot to dust, so what!

yep i forgot to dust as well, actualy i just put if off as i hate to dust most of all i would rather do dishes anyday then dust, so it dont get done like it should , i guess i should put dusting on my list first and go ahead and do it and get it over with even bfore dishes.. once i do it im ok its just dreading it i would like to see it get done every day as it needs it badly..

Hi there laken, How yah doing, Me im doing well and regarding your question have i done everything that I needed to do today, I guess not. Well ive been on this new workout that is quite demanding i kinda based it on USMC training, am not saying all of it but just some tid bits, because i think i'll only try those if i was coersed to and if i would like to go on and be strong to serve my country. Anyway i had burpees some squats coupled with weights, long distance running push ups and mountain climbers and I think it has taken a toll on my body since i couldnt really push my body today to work-out i even refuse to lift just some weights, but maybe this is just my body saying to rest for awhile then tomorrow back to getting my body into shape. I hope before this year ends i can show you guys my before and afters ive been taking some pictures and really is kinda cool the changes happening. Anyway let's get things done here in mylot. Take care...

well i just saw this post so my day is just starting out lol but i have already accomplished a little bit. i got my grandma awake,fed,her ice, and all the things that need to done there done all before 7 am. got home 1 kid went back to sleep and i made the other breakfast. i gave my neighbor the things i needed to. i seperated about 3 piles of clothes and started 1 of them :) hoping to get more than that done tho i am way behind on them. i am still hoping to get my kitchen done or atleast get the living room all picked up so i can sweep and mop :) the weather here is ok right now it is suppose to hit atleast 80 today so its a great day for the laundry and to air my house out :) but there is a chance or rain today and also thunderstarms tonight and i think for the whole weekend. my family was going to go camping this weekend but i guess we have to find an indoor activity to do if it really does storm :(
