Cleaning is an after thought right now. Here's a partial list of my to-do's:
*Find contractor to replace bathtub, paint bathroom
Paint bedrooms (4) and get carpet replaced
Paint all other rooms in house
Paint inside walls of garage
*Organize office
*Organize, clean out attic
*Organize, clean out garage
*Organize closets
*Hold yard sale
*Trim bushes, edge lawn, etc.
Plant bushes, flowers, etc.
*Re-stain deck
Powerwash house
*Find electrician to hang ceiling fans, add outlets
*Hold 2-3 shows per week and recruit more to pay for these things and DS's college coming up in the Fall!
I KNOW there are additional things on my list but I can't breathe already! (The *'d items must be done by the beginning of June - big graduation party with lots of house guests.)
Yes, I do all those things. DH works long hours and is totally unhandy. I prefer to do projects on my own when he is at work or traveling. Once we moved to a new home (with 5 children) and he left for a business trip for 6 weeks. When he returned I had painted the entire interior of the house.
He can't see the weeds nor the marks on the walls that need to be covered by new paint. His "chores" include mowing the lawn, taking out the garbage, making and bringing me coffee in the morning and making most of the money to pay for everything. And pampering me when I need it.
