I appreciate the kind words and prayers on my behalf as I've been recovering from bronchitis. The end result of all that coughing was some torn muscles, which although very painful, was much better than having broken ribs. :) If you could have seen the way I walked all humped over, you would have thought that I was a little old lady! I felt like one, that's for sure. :) I'm still taking pain meds as needed, but I'm trying not to use them too much. I'm not one who likes to rely on medicine. I'm still only functioning at about 75%, but I'm rejoicing that this is not something permanent like so many health conditions can be.
Even though I'm still quite sore, I'm feeling good enough to get back into my homekeeping routine. I'm just fed up with how things have gotten disorganized around our house the last few weeks. So, I'm taking a couple of Motrin today and diving into some much-needed spring cleaning. We've seen the worst of the pollen, I think. Mr. C will work on the exterior of the house while I get busy inside. The little girls will be helping me while the older kids are doing their school work. Here's what's on my to-do list:
Laundry Room
dust entire room
clean light fixture
wash the window inside and outside
wash baseboards
vacuum behind washer, dryer, & freezer
wash Buddy's food and water bowls
clean the utility sink
Family Room
clean ceiling fan/light fixture
dust entire room
wash the window inside and outside
vacuum under furniture
wash baseboards
clean blinds/wash window treatments
cull magazines
straighten contents of entertainment center
mop wood floors
I'll check back in later today and cross off the tasks that have been completed. Hopefully we'll be challenged to get a lot accomplished! :) Do you have any projects to work on around your house today?
Lunchtime Update: The laundry room is almost finished! I will start on the family room this afternoon. :)
Evening Update: My list is history, hallelujah! I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Sweet dreams! :-)Labels: Keeping the Home
