Ahhhh…it’s so nice to wake up to a house that is not only
picked up, but dust-free too! I start to
feel accomplished by this point and relaxed in my surroundings. Today, we continue the general maintenance of
our home by keeping up with the dishes, laundry, and today, we sweep the
floors!
Morning Routine
(I have an hour and a half from the time I wake up until the
time I have to leave for work in the mornings.)
- Laundry
(3-4 days/week)
- Make
the Bed (3 days/wk)
- Dishes:
If the dishes were done the night before, I unload them in the
morning. Otherwise, I put the
dishes from breakfast into the dishwasher.

| A Clean Floor! |
I don’t mind sweeping but I really don’t like to
vacuum. Many weeks, Todd vacuums as I
sweep the floors. Again, we will have
more square footage to sweep once the living room and spare bedroom are
complete. It is amazing how much dirt is
swept off of the floors each week.
That’s what happens when you have 2 dogs, 4 cats and a productive hubby running
in and out of the house pretty much all day long. Of course, our animals are a kaleidoscope of
colors: black, white, gray, red, brown and blonde. I like to see results and I definitely see
results each time I sweep the floors.
