Tackle it Tuesday

April 21, 2008 |

I had a huge list of things to tackle this week. I am getting through them, not as quickly as I would like, but things are getting done. I tackled my front porch, and I also cleaned out my microwave. The kids made nachos while we were gone and didn’t cover the plate… yuck!

I used Bon-Ami and it came right off.

The biggest item on my list was Mt. Laundry. I took this picture with my 6 year old standing next to the pile so you could get some perspective. The garden has been bad for laundry in two ways, first we have more dirty laundry, and second when I am at the garden I don’t do laundry.

After two days of doing laundry around the clock I am done! It is even folded and put away!

Tomorrow is my baking day so I don’t know how much of my list I will get done, but I am just happy to be caught up with the laundry… at least until tomorrow!

    I’m laughing out loud. My 6 year old daughter is sitting in the chair with me and looking at the laundry pictures. We commented at how much laundry there was, and how it all got done. Then she saw the pic with all the laundry hanging outside. Daughter said, “oh wow…she hung it all up”. I almost started rolling!
    Good for you, btw. What a big accomplishment.

    Wow! That’s a lot of laundry! Glad to see you got it done. I always feel better to get it done….until I notice it’s already piling up again! Argh!

    UGH laundry is my least favorite. So many steps to getting it done. The pile of laundry reminds me of my own sitting in front of the washer. Which reminds me I have some in the dryer that needs to be folded, and some in the washer that needs to rinse again and go the dryer. Glad your laundry is done!

    Oh girl! You are doing some tackling! Your little boy seems so proud of the mess! And the after shot too. Stop by & see how I tackled my sanity! I’m still trying to get all the sand out of my shorts! :D

    I, too, have a “Mt. Laundry”. Congrats on tackling yours - I seem to ease up a bit on laundry once I start to make headway. Maybe that’s a good tackle for me next week!

    This week I finished up my photo organization!

    GREAT tackle! Laundry sure seems to be a part of my every day. I have that same green laundry basket, btw.
