Default Wed 7/15 -5 Minute Challenge or To Do List

I need some motivation today!
Since everything I need to do is quickly undone or needs to be done again tonight or tomorrow, I want to post so it feels like I have done something!

First on the list, finish breakfast and unload/load dishwasher.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Those are done. Also flipped some laundry.

Next on list is to have floor swept, have the boys start their laundry, and fold and put away yesterday's laundry.

Some days, the mundane is just so..... mundane!!

Dd decided she wanted to redecorate her room so she saved her money and bought new bedding, a bookshelf, and a nightstand. We are switching desks with our guest bedroom and she has sorted through all her drawers and closet and got everything so organized. I'm so proud of her! When we are done, it will be quite a grown up girls room. It's hard for me to say goodbye to her little girl room, but I'm glad she's growing and becoming a beautiful, young lady.

I weeded out some outgrown children's clothing from a drawer.

Put toddler down for nap, made lunch, decluttered bathroom closet a bit.

My kids have been on my computer. I helped my sons with their typing and math, and we did letter puzzles and handwriting.
Swept, tidied floor, did more laundry.
Went through mail.[COLOR="Silver"]

Put second load of dishes away.
Making dinner. All the older kids are out playing, so there is no one to entertain toddler.
