Week off cleaning list

Since we will be taking 1 week off after 4 weeks of school, I am going to use this time for a deep clean on the house.  It is a total wreck right now, so I hope after this next week of cleaning, I can keep it up a bit and that it will be ok to go 5 weeks in between deep cleanings.  I am going to put my very detailed list on here so I can keep up and cross off what I have accomplished (you know the feeling you get when you mark something off).  My major cleaning will start once school finishes up today and I plan to be done by next Friday or Saturday so I can get ready for the next 4 weeks.

I think that list should cover it.  We will see how long it takes me to get thru it.  The kiddos are doing thier math test now, then we will do science together and then school is finished.  Once I get them out of the school room - I will get started on it.  I am hoping that with Rog's weekend schedule (he is at the station right now, will be there till morning, leave striaght from there and go to deer camp until late Saturday afternoon) and the kiddos going to gramma's - I can get most of it all done by Sunday morning.  If not, I may pass on going to the lake with them and finish up so we can enjoy our week off.

SUNDAY UPDATE:

It is a bit after 1:00pm Sunday afternoon - everyone is at the lake but me.  I have a clean house!!!  I decided to take the kiddos rooms off my list for this weekend. It won't be much longer that I need to go in and switch out clothes for the season, so I will do a complete clean on their rooms at that time.

I finished the Yada Yada book I was reading - I will get that in the mail to Marcy this week...it was really good - sad, but good - can't wait til the next one comes out!!

I am off to browse blogs, start my next Lisa Sampson book - Club Sandwich I believe, maybe play around with my template and just enjpy a quiet afteroon alone -without having to worry about the house that I should be cleaning!!
