Default Wednesday to-do list/5 minute challenge

It's been a while since I've seen one of these. Feel free to share your to-do list and come back with updates. If you prefer, set your timer for 5 minutes and come back to share what you accomplished.

Today is my children's first full day of school. I have the home to myself without distractions for a few hours. My plan is to listen to a podcast while doing the following:

-process one load of peaches
-bake a cake
-make sushi rice
-start a shopping list
-tidy the kitchen when I'm done

Sounds great!

Here is what is left on my list for today:
Tidy kitchen
find checkbook (if you are so inclined, please pray for this!)
locate 18-24 month sized boy clothes in Mt. St. Clothesmore
School stuff with boys (science, reading, handwriting, Bible)
Sit on boys while they do independent work.
Help DD with speech
Watch LTW videos
Call homeschool store to check on math and latin curric.
vacuum
clean toilets (one down, three to go)
freeze chicken in marinade
bathe children before church (one down, two to go.)

Thankfully, lunch is made already and dinner is at church! And, I do not have to do any laundry today because it is the Boy's day. I Wednesday!

That is awesome!!

I have been scouring the house and car for my checkbook, and I have not found it. I have pretty much been focused on that for the last couple of hours. The car is cleaned out now, so that is a plus, but I am pretty upset to have lost it because I do not know if I dropped it or it fell out of my purse, or if it is in the house somewhere.

you might call the last few places you shopped using the check book and see if one has been turned in. I so hate that feeling, almost undone. good thing is car clean

Amy, I had lost my chequebook this past summer, and it ended up being sandwiched between papers in a stack. They are so small! I hope you find it soon.

Exercised and cleaned up. I even have a full face of make-up because I need to get a new student ID card made. I'm just having a snack before heading out to the university. I had hoped to get a bit of tidying in, but it will have to wait for later or tomorrow.

Last to-do list for a bit:
-wrap dh's b'day present
-fill water bottle
