Default Merry Monday 5 Minute Challenge

Come and play. The rules are simple. Set your timer for 5 mins, and clean as much as you can in that time. Then come back here and post what you did. Every time a new post is made, get up and do another 5 mins.

Its fun if we can get several people playing.

Just want to cheer you on. I *may* get up and do something. For now, I'm resting up, trying to get rid of a five day sore throat and cough while being 12 weeks pregnant.

So far I've made weekly menu, found the recipes and made my grocery list. Now I need to figure out lunch with my limited supply of food.

Washed dishes, filled dishwasher, made lunch, started quick soak for beans for supper

I like to mix it up. Anything to make cleaning "fun."

I got up. Nursed the baby and put him down for nap. Loaded the dishwasher. Hand washed a large pot waking the baby. Nursed baby again and put him down for nap part two. Did a quick soak on red beans. Mixed up a meatloaf and put in the oven.

These were done in several five minute increments.
