Camelot, I am glad to hear you got things straightened out with the lender. I was followong your thread.

Yesterday was a not very useful day, so I didn't post. I didn't get much done.

Today will have to be busy.


Chickens and ducks need the usual care
Cat boxes need cleaning
Finish stuffing and bake stuffed jalapenos
Clean out the old stuff in the fridge
Wash the mountain of pans
Make mix brownies for DH who needs to gain weight

Sort bills and file paperwork
STILL need to vaccum
2 loads of laundry
Change sheets
Clean out clogged tub drain

The front bedroom is where I store a lot of stuff. You can hardly find a bed in there. A lot of it is vintage stuff that I need to list in my etsy store, but it's so crowded that I can barely get through it. So..... that's going to take up several days worth of chores!

I noticed a couple of people saying they had a lot of clutter. That's how I got started selling, first on ebay and now on etsy! I had boxes to the ceiling of stuff from my grandmother's, father's and mother's estates that I have been hauling around for years. I don't like clutter and I rarely get attached to a material object, so I listed some old dishes on ebay. Lo and behold, that colorful little gravy boat/pitcher was $255.00 worth of antique Majolica!

I got hooked then.

So consider selling some of that stuff that's cluttering your house, it's a nice little bit of "egg money"! I don't use ebay much anymore but I LOVE etsy. My store in in my sig line.

So I'm off to start the list of chores and my reward for eash one done will be 15 minutes of computer time!

What a clever thread!!! I hope everyone keeps up, because it really is a motivation!!

Sooo - today on my dreaded chore list - cleaning the bathrooms. I really hate doing them, nearly as much as I hate not having them done. If I get this one thing accomplished, the rest will seem like a breeze!!!

Day not going too well so far, have spent hours trying to get internet service back! At least it finally came back, after talking to 6 people who promised it would be right back and 4 more disconnects.

Sadly, my entire day was derailed because my favoritest baby chick died and I don't know why. I just found her dead in the brooder box. I have never cried so hard, nor felt so miserable over a chick I don't think. We buried her next to her papa under the large oak in the back of the pasture. How I wished she would wake up and be back to her old cute self. I have been lost all day without her. We had named her Penguin, 'cause she was grey and white. So, not trying to make this a pity party, but that is why cleaning the bathrooms will still be on my list for dreadful chores tomorrow. Unless I still do it yet tonight; but I'm not going to push it or worry about it at this point.

You sound like me and my list of stuff to get done by Sunday :

Finish the new rabbit hutch turned coop - finish painting it and shingle it
clean out the Fuzzbucket coop (silkie's

) as well as I can around ms. broody and the new mama - lol
dishes
1-2 loads of laundry
go through the closet and toss the unused/don't fit clothes and stuff in a bag to donate
finish cleaning the extra bedroom - I'm tired of sharing a bed with a spastic sleeping 5 yr old
after cleaning said bedroom - move a few bits of furntiure that need to be moved into there (it has been a storage room of my dads *sigh* and I moved in with him back in winter - so I've been sharing a queen bed with a spin top football playing in her dreams 5 yr old since then )
go through the house on cobweb patrol with a broom
vaccum all the carpets
fix the toilet (the thing is sporadically deciding it doesn't want to stop flowing *sigh* )
clean up the yard by the sheds where I've been building said new coop - lol.

man that sounds so horribly long written out.
