Gotta Luv A List!

I love a list. It has structure. It has order. It has goals.
It has reminders. Gotta luv a list!

##Upcoming Tasks##

#Bathroom (cleaned 2 x per wk, but when 4 people share a tiny space it can use an occasional hard core cleaning!)

#Master Bedroom
~Bookshelves
~Projects
~Clothing (it's folded into baskets, too tired to put away!)

#Laundry
~Saturday's laundry day, so the 1-2 loads waiting will be done this wknd

~Tiny, cramped, we'll remove everything, evaluate/situate

::Things that must wait::

1) Oven--I can't use the necessary cleaning products right now (not so much danger to the baby, smell is simply too strong & will cause nausea and/or migraine, so I need to wait for a night hubby's willing to go through the trouble)
2) Window Sills--waiting for everyone in my house to be over their sinus issues before I lift windows and screens again to remove any dust, dirt, or pollen
3) Tool Box--while it kills me to look at, Hubby manages his tools in a system of "organized chaos"...to me it's just chaos, but hopefully he'll situate that stuff soon!
4) Behind washer/dryer--they are too heavy for me to move on my own, so I need to wait for a night hubby's willing to go through the trouble


It's so refreshing to have things feel...refreshing! I'm not aiming for perfection, just improvement, and I'm seeing that. And seeing tasks get checked off a list makes my ♥ happy!
