my blog title explained:

It's what I often say to my husband. Especially when he's frustrated that I'm running late for church. There comes a time when certain happenings just shouldn't be a surprise anymore.

It makes sense to me, but...

Today I'm going for random. My cold has taken a turn for the worse. I feel like that scene in Haunted Mansion where Eddie Murphy is down in the mausoleum and he just stole the key and all the zombies are getting out of their crypts coming after him. That's what's happening in my body. The mucus is taking over and it happened all of a sudden. Yuck!!!

***On to the next topic....Okay - so my mother-in-law is coming on the 12th. (NO! It's not another scene from Haunted Mansion, unless you count the scene when they first get to the mansion and it's dusty and there are cobwebs everywhere and you're thinking, "Man! They really need to clean!")

(We watched a movie Halloween night. Wanna guess what we watched?)

Okay, so Matt & I are going to Virginia for a quick trip and his mom is coming to babysit. So now I'm in panic mode. I don't care if my house is clean when my family comes, but with my in-laws, it's a different story.

So I figured if I set myself a schedule to get it all cleaned, then I can get it done in time. Cuz really, it's probably a month long job. But if I work fast, I can probably get the most important stuff done in time.

Here's what I'm thinking:

Monday, Nov. 3 - master bedroom

Tuesday, Nov. 4 - master bath

Wednesday, Nov. 5 - vacuum & mop floors

Thursday, Nov. 6 - dust office & living room

Friday, Nov. 7 - family room, Savannah's room, & kids bath

Monday, Nov. 10 - guest room & guest bath

Tuesday, Nov. 11 - kitchen

This is my plan. I hope that by putting it on my blog, I'll be motivated to get it done. (I know - I can see you ROFLOL!!!)

And seriously, if you're thinking all these jobs can be done in one day - there's a reason you haven't seen my whole house!!!

***Next topic...... I'm doing the NaBloPoMo challenge (National Blog Posting Month). The deal is you're supposed to blog every day for a month.

Here's a button if you want it:

I hope your plan works for you, just hope it all stays clean after that one day of cleaning :) I hope you feel better. I have been sick too and I am miserable. Major sore throat!! Ugh.

Good plan, but I think you could consolidate a couple of those days. That would benefit you, of course, so you could get back to more important items on your agenda...like blogging!

I voted! - I almost always respond in "comments"

LOL - I probably should have been more specific - I don't even think I can consolidate.

Well, maybe I could consolidate a few things, but I should probably fess up that there are some other projects that will probably take more than a day.

But I love that blogging is more important than cleaning!!!!!
