Back with a clean house (:

Ok guys, as you can see, I haven't been on here in a while. I wanted to start this blog so that I could share my crazy life and all the inspiration that I have gathered over the years. I just finished my second semester of college (boy was that fun). Piece of advice, don't take summer courses atleast not online. It's 5 months of work all crammed into two. So basically you have to complete two weeks of work in just one week. Psychology was the real kicker. In my opinion Psychology is a class that should be taught in a classroom instead of online. But good news is I passed for the semester! Thankfully (sorta) I'm getting to take the fall semester off simply because I don't have a vehicle to travel the 40 minutes to my school every Tuesday and Thursday. :/

On to a different subject.

Idk about you guys but I HATE cleaning house. And once I get behind I feel soooo overwhelmed with the work that I just sit down and say I'll do it later. I'm an excellent procrastinator. But that only gets me in trouble when my husband gets home. So to help me out I made me a cleaning list that goes with everyday of the week. Thought I might share it with all you other procrastinators (or people who just like lists) (:
I did find this list on another site (I cannot for the life of me remember where so I can't give credit) But I did recreate it so that it would go along with my home. The things that are italicized are things that don't have to be done every week and where I have Other To-Do's the original had outside work. Well I don't do outside work because my wonderful husband does all that. So my other to-do are left blank until I think of something that needs to be done that isn't on the list already. And what I did with my list was got a cheap black frame from Walmart for around $2 and some magnetic strips, another $2, and printed out my list. I took off the stand on the back, put my list in my frame, and attached the strips to the back of the frame. It now hangs on the side of my fridge and next to it on the shelf I have a cup full of Expo markers. So all I do is check off each thing I've done and at the end of the week I erase it all and start over. All in all this list has helped me alot considering I suffer from ADOS (attention deficit ooh shiny). I bounce all over the place cleaning because I get distracted and even if I have done a ton of cleaning, it looks like I have done nothing due to the fact that my cleaning was in all areas of the house. This list kinda helps keep my butt on track. 

I want to leave you with a verse that somewhat pertains to keeping a clean house.

"To be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed." Titus 2:5
