Since I was just checking my "before bed routine" list, I knew I had an easy idea for today's Thursday thirteen. I am a list maker, as well as a list-checker-offer. I love to be able to cross things off my list. It makes me feel like I have accomplished something during the day when time seems to have run away!
So...
1. Shine my sink I do this compulsively. It really does make the kitchen look and feel cleaner!
2. Is laundry folded and put away. I usually do one load a day. More times than not, it is left on the dining room table waiting to be carted upstairs. When we lived in Alaska, my laundry room was on the second floor. I LOVED that!
3. Pick up things off the stairs. Things end up here that need to be carried upstairs.
4. Is the mail put away? **I do have a huge "to shred" pile. Normally I love to shred. One of my favorite Christmas presents from Husband was a shredder!
5. Check calendar for tomorrow's activities.
6. Lay out clothes for me and the kids....These hang on their closet doorknobs, shoes are on the floor with socks or tights. **also, make sure the day's dirty clothes are in the dirty clothes basket...the kids are getting better about this**
7. Check menu for what we are having for dinner tomorrow: Stir Fry Beef with Ginger-Carrot Sauce
8. Put out non-perishable ingredients.
9. Brush teeth.

I do sew and love me some polka dotted fabric, but I haven't started in on the coordinating kitchen. I don't think the covers will be on my tomorrow's to do list.Happy Thursday, y'all! Want to play: the new thursday-13
