I'm back, and I made a tentative schedule for myself. You're right, because there are more people and animals in my house, your exact schedule will not work for me. But I used the idea of it, and expanded, so I will start with this. As time goes on I think I will add to it. All of these things I already do, though not often enough. Having it written down will help me alot, so I thank you. This list is in addition to laundry and dishes, which I have to do daily in my house. I average one to two loads of laundry a day, and wash dishes once or twice also. So here's my new cleaning schedule: Cleaning Schedule Daily Sunday Clean bathroom. Sweep hallway and living room. Pick up clutter in hotspots Clean sinks. Monday Dust surfaces throughout home. Dust television and computer screens. Pick up clutter throughout home. Clean sinks. Swish toilet Clean old food out of fridge and wipe areas you can see. Tuesday Clean out car. Vacuum with shop vac. Clean sinks. Swish toilet. Clean kitchen floor with rag on hands and knees to get in the corners. Wednesday Clean bathroom. Sweep hallway and living room. Pick up clutter in hotspots. Thursday Sweep/mop throughout home.

Clean sinks. Swish toilet. Clean bathroom mirror if needed. Saturday Dust surfaces throughout home. Vacuum carpeted areas Shampoo carpets as necessary. Clean sinks. Swish toilet. Pick one drawer or cabinet in the home and clean it. Monthly Week One: Clean ceiling fans Week Two: Clean all doors throughout home Week Three: Clean windows Week Four: Take everything out of refrigerator and thoroughly clean fridge, inside and out.

Forget tonight, it will be some surprise leftovers. Last night we had Welsh Rarebit. It was made with peas, onions, yellow pepper and ham in the creamy cheese sauce over toast. YUMMY! That is another Irish/Scottish type meal. Since we have been talking about Irish food, I have discovered that my mother was very Irish. I was only 19 when she died, so we really hadn't "talked food" very much, but all these things mentioned are regular foods from my childhood.

Chicken fried steak and gravy,mashed potatoes and green beans.I bought a couple of round roasts the other day on sale and am cutting off steaks from them.My back is killing me so I may change my mind before time to cook.LOL Also have some fresh strawberries that I sliced and sugared last night.Maybe strawberry shortcake for desert.

I went to the buffet today, well, guess it was technically "yesterday" as of now. The potato salad and coleslaw are a bit old now so I don't want to risk it and I haven't eaten out for quite a while now since I got the stove and frig replaced. It was so hot and humid (90+°+ temp & 70+° dewpoint) I didn't feel like cooking anything and thought it'd feel good to go spend some time in a cooler place so I decided to treat myself. It was pretty good. I even had some coffee and no way would I have had that at home with the weather as it was.
