It's the weekly goals thread, back by popular (or maybe unpopular ) demand!

So, what does everyone want to do this week?

In addition to my regular housework, I want to:

- Sweep out my garage (I gotta give myself an easy one )
- Go through that big ol' pile of paperwork that dd has brought home from school (I guess schools don't believe in that paperless society thing)
- And the biggie -- I'm going to excavate and organize my pantry! Now this is going to be a task because my pantry is a frightening place! There's no telling what's living in there. I'm not sure if I will complete this task this week, but I will definitely start it. Wish me luck!

Mine is not so much housework but other projects I've been putting off.

My kids have 4 rocks to paint - they are giving them to a few family members who have desks at work as paper weights - I want those painted and put with the other Xmas gifts.

I need to get my scrapbooking stuff out so I can start working on my 2007 album -- I want that caught up before the 1st of the year.

I want to file receipts and other papers and go through the files and shred. Makes for a less task at the end of the year.

Gotta get the oil changed on my van -- since dh has not done it and I refuse to keep asking (or in his eyes, nag).

Well since I didn't finish up with my weekend goals I guess they'll be carrying over to this week! Along with regular chores I'm going to attempt to...

Clear off the kitchen counter tops! (I've got it mostly done - If I could find a better place to leave my purse it would really help!)

Clear the junk out of the master bedroom! This one could be a disaster! I have piles that I go thru about 3 times a week! Everytime I go thru it I throw a little more away, then re-stack them back up! Part of me just wants to dump it all and be done with it, but I'll always wonder if I needed something out of the piles! (mostly old bills, etc)

Shred the old bills I have decided to throw out! Right now they're in a trash bag along with other trash that doesn't need to be shredded! I'm afraid I'm going to forget and throw them out!

That's probably all I can handle for now, and truthfully, if I can get 2 of the 3 things done I'll be thrilled!!!

Try setting a timer for 5, 10, or 15 minutes whenever you have some free time (I know -- with kids, what is "free time"? ). You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish in just a short period of time.

Sorry I'm late in posting -- we just got home.

My list for the week ...

1. Curtains for the bedroom. I have the material. I have the rods. I even have the thread.

2. Declutter the bedroom.

3. Make my bed, everyday!

4. Put a doorhandle on the closet door. Not sure why it isn't there but I might as well correct it!

I've done nothing this week on my list! We're sick. I need to at least make my bed -- and since there are no children in it maybe it would be a good time to do that!

sorry you are all sick!

I'm going to try and finally clean out my fridge, wipe all the shelves down really well. I plan on doing this Friday, since my mil will be keeping the baby Thurs and Fri. night. I also want to wash the sheets on my bed and change them. And I also need to mop my bathroom and kitchen.

I'm adding to my "to-do" list

1) My kids have 4 rocks to paint - they are giving them to a few family members who have desks at work as paper weights - I want those painted and put with the other Xmas gifts.

2) I need to get my scrapbooking stuff out so I can start working on my 2007 album -- I want that caught up before the 1st of the year.

3) I want to file receipts and other papers and go through the files and shred. Makes for a less task at the end of the year. [color="Red"]DONE[/COLOR]

4) Gotta get the oil changed on my van -- since dh has not done it and I refuse to keep asking (or in his eyes, nag)

5) Clean out fridge and clean all the shelves in there

6) Cut up remaining pumpkins and puree them

7) Stack firewood in the house

8) Pack kids' shorts away -- summer is over here in Upstate NY

9) Get my Thanksgiving grocery list together & purchase the items
